Confession time here: I have not always made good choices in my life.Among them was a 30+ year addiction to smoking.Which is now done.
The impact on my cycling is noticeable. I plain do not have the wind to really push hard, and am lucky to average 15 mph on a flat road ride. Hills are a weak point too.
My question is whether there are ways to improve respiratory function through cycling. Although I have been a transportation cyclist for nearly 20 years, road and fitness riding are a new experience to me.
Has anybody had experience with this?
