Hi,
I was just wondering if any of you train in the gym with a programme specifically designed for biking. I would be interested to know the numbers of reps / sets and the type of excercise. I have started running a lot - but apparently that uses different muscles to cycling. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. cheers Maj |

Rx1, excellent sounds like a plan and i have a steep hill about 5 minutes ride from my house, i will give it a try and see how i progress over the weeks. One question, should i put the bike in a hard gear so its requires power to pedal or should i put it in an easy gear and spin the like mad or somewhere inbetween?
Andy, Bob I think i might convert my old trek to a single speed. Would this be relatively easy thing to do. I was amazed at how much weight huw and chris had lost and they were cycling round swinley without even breaking a sweat. I thought huw lost a lot of his weight when he shaved his beard off  Sandra, thanks for the info on shin splints, and i reckon my shoes are to blame. The reason my legs dont hurt in karate is probably because i am running bare feet. There is a shop in reading called sweatshop which has a machine to analyse your feet. I will try and pop in there on saturday. cheers Maj |
