Anyways on a 100km road ride. I found I was lagging on the climbing part. When I ride alone, i thought i was doing ok climbing. Now I see need for improvement
What are ways to learn and ways to train to become a better climber?
To develop more power and speed going up the climbs etc.
Thanks
In addition to what the others have said, there are specific exercises, such as "squat jumps" and 'lunges" that will help develop specific leg muscles used for climbing. It's true that these will also develop by just doing more climbing, but incorporating these exercises into your routine on the days you're off the bike will help too.
