You could say that tiredness and fatigue are just a natural side effect of cycling and, to an extent, this is true. However, what we can try to do is delay the onset of tiredness to keep you riding faster for longer. In this video, Hank shares some of his wisdom to help you avoid getting quite so tired when you're out cycling.

THE NUMBER ONE way of riding long distance without getting tried. -------- Is using the wind to push you. The forecast for Saturday was 75 degrees and winds from the west 25 to 30mph gusting to 50-55mph There is only one thing better than, riding 60+ miles, using a 55 x 11 gear, and having an average heart rate of only 145bpm That is having your loving wife, waiting 60+ miles from home, with the car, to drive you home, AGAINST the wind.

Great tips (most of them I do), as an older rider (60) maintaining fitness levels is key. I was having a hard time riding more than 20 miles 2-3 times a week. Each ride would kill me. What I discovered was I couldn't maintain my fitness level just riding the bike. Years ago (before I got into cycling), I use to run a lot. So back in April, I started running and riding every other day. My runs are about 2-3 miles. Now my fitness level has me riding 30 miles on average every other day! On weekends, I usually do longer rides of 40 or more miles. The running supports the riding. At 6'5, my legs work hard when I'm in the saddle. I need them in the best shape possible. 👍

@benedictearlson9044 4 жыл бұрын

Good tip there Elmer, short jogs are indeed recommend for cyclists as is certain gym work to build core and explosive leg power. You should also think about intensity, your jogs will be more intense, shorter efforts which you can easily replicate on the bike by mixing up your endurance rides with shorter faster rides during the week or by doing intervals during your long rides. Joe Friel says the most important aspect for older athletes maintaining fitness and overall health is power intervals.

Now I ride and run in more of the interval style you spoke of picking spots to go faster and adjusting cadence and pace. I can definitely feel muscles while recovering I hadn't felt before. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciated it. 👍

I barely started riding such distances this month of August 2020. I haven't had a bike in about 10 years. Hence why I'm only doing once a week 20 miles. I'm trying not to kill or deter myself from continously going for a ride everyday this month. I usually do about 5 miles every other day of the week. This month I've done about 120 miles all together. I've never ridden so much in my life.

3:26 "one bottle an hour" can be way too much or not nearly enough, depending on conditions. Last month I did a 100 mile ride, starting early on a cool morning. I took two bottles and drank both - maybe I would have drunk a third if I had it, but no signs of dehydration. A few years ago I did a similar 100-mile ride but on a day when the temperature hit 100F/38C. I drank at least 10 bottles on that ride (fortunately, it was a well-supported charity ride with rest stops), and was significantly dehydrated afterwards.

Tip that may have already been mentioned: Make sure your bike fits you correctly. This goes hand-in-hand with distracting yourself from your workload while riding with a group and pacing yourself. You'll find, hopefully as I have, that a proper bike fit will further reduce the need for overworking yourself by balancing out asymmetry or, more properly said, compensating for the degree of asymmetry that all our bodies have. Bikes are built perfectly symmetrical whereas we arent. A bike fit helps, especially on the long rides. I spent a long time fiddling with my bike mm by mm, degree by degree, and when I finally got myself dialed in it was ... beautiful. I think GCN has a few great videos on this, which I've used. And your local bike shop will likely have an assist for you too. Good ride.

@adamkane4217 2 жыл бұрын

Pacing is key for me--focusing more on where to exert maximum effort and where to take it easier makes for a much more pleasant experience on the bike then going full out the whole time (and it makes me more fun to be around after a ride).

Beethovens Laguerre it’s a fun bike, but heavy and not very spry. Embrace being slow for a little while or you’ll get upset. When you can afford it, get lighter tires and wheels. Half the sluggish problem is the weight of those components. Also, baby the hubs until you replace them. Most of the parts in them can’t be replaced. I have the baseline sequoia and a botched overhaul wrecked an irreplaceable part in my rear hub. The elite has better hubs, but it’s still a concern with them.

For the last 2 years, I've been doing my biking rides while dry fasted. The bike rides are 1-3 hours, both mountain and road bike. While I don't PR under this metabolic state I'm able do these rides more and more easily without having to ingest anything. Dry fasting while exercising upregulates mitochondrial density. Doing things dry fasted absolutely FORCES your body to mobilize fatty acid breakdown in heart/muscle mitochondria for ATP generation, for gluconeogenesis(formation of glucose in the liver by breaking down the glycerol backbone from triglycerides), liver ketone creation from FFA breakdown for use in muscle/heart mitochondria, and finally for general aerobic respiration(mitochondria burning of FFA, ketones, and glucose) to form metabolic H20. Notice sometimes when you are going uphill and you start pouring sweat that literally covers your face and eyeballs. People assume it's to cool your face off. No, it's because your effort requires increased ATP demand. Your mitochondria burns the fat, ketones, glucose to accommodate this demand, but you have excess byproduct of C02(which you blow off) and H20, which comes off as sweat, and often times, comes off as a mean piss at the end of the ride.

@multiverse439 3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely true stuff. Everytime I go for a dry ride over eating an hour before a ride I end up feeling dead by the end of it. I only have done like 2 rides after eating this month because of time. And those were my absolute worst rides. Not worst in miles but worst in how I felt afterwards Lol.

We need to get Hank's dad, Brother-in-law Nigel, Si's dog, Willow, and Dan's boy all in the same video - or at least vote on the "best supporting actor" of GCN.

I mean biking *is* my relaxation. I love just doing laps for hours and letting my mind wander. Honestly, I don't think I would stop if it weren't for my parents telling me to come inside.

I end the Real training Part of the trip always 5-10km before returning home. These last km I just ride easy to loosen up the muscles. That helps for 30 years by now

Could be useful video. I'm an insomniac who was initially attracted to cycling to tire myself out. It remains one of my chief reasons for getting on the bike

Mango 4ttwo how effective was cycling with dealing with insomnia?

@mango4ttwo635 3 жыл бұрын

@@ARlELATOM Hi! Don;t know how bad your insomnia is, but mine is quite extreme: over a decade, too. Things worsened after I ruptured knee ligaments, so most sport became out of bounds. I find I need to live somewhere very hilly, then the uphill part of my cycling helps tire the body. That accompanied with a strict "sleep hygiene" routine helps

There's an old chap that lives near me who has just bought an electric bike so he can keep up with his cycling mates....he's 83 and his mates are all in their 70's; fair play! They won't let me ride with them as I'm too young, at 60!

@@ieuandavies4134 You are too young indeed. 5 years make quite a perceptible difference once you are 65+. This 83 years old gentleman is a wise man. Now riding an E-bike he can still keep his good condition whilst enjoying rides with his younger friends. That's great

Gotta love the new kit. BTW, anyone familiar with Castelli sizing? I know there's a size chart but heard it runs smaller than other brands...

I've started road riding again after a long hiatus, the last time was early 1993 so yeah it's been a while. What I have been doing the past 18 months is riding my emtb to gently get my heart pumping again and used to the rigors of cycling. Road riding is painful and to be honest, after 10kms I wanted to chuck the bike in a wheelie bin haha. I am using a HRM and a Garmin bike computer to monitor my training zones. It's hard, very hard. Thanks for the video and the inspiration.
