I was reading in a bike magazine, an article from one of the Carmichael Training Systems people. She says "cyclists have weak hamstrings and hip flexors" but doesn't say why this is so.
Riding this morning into my nemesis, the perpetual ubiquitous headwind, I thought, why don't I pull up on the pedals more? Our pedals are designed for this, so why don't I do it?
I know that when I do 2 magtrainer sessions in a week,
on the weekend I notice the difference,
as I am compelled to pull up on the pedals,
moreso than on the road, due to the inability to freewheel...
and on the trainer I sweat a lot more, work a lot harder...
Is there a way to force yourself to pull up or is it just discipline and gritting your teeth?
