Hello everybody,
I have been hooked onto cycling since about 7 months now. My main aim of getting into cycling is to indulge in Randonneuring
I recently switched over to a hybrid from an MTB since I thought that the hybrid would help me best achieve my goal of participating in a brevet.
Since I did not know whom to turn to for this question, I thought I would best register on this forum where I have routinely lurked and ask here.
I am a regular gym goer. Not the sculpted body types, but just to stay physically fit.
Like I mentioned above my sole aim is to participate in a Brevet since I want to check how strong I am mentally and physically. How should I juggle my gym routine with cycling/preparing for a brevet?
Should I altogether give up gymming - this I would do only grudgingly since I have started to like the idea of going to a gym.
Or should gymming and cycling be on an alternate basis?
Or is there any third alternative??
Also is there any scientific way of preparing for a brevet? Or just keep hitting it out for long distances every once in a week?
I would be really grateful for suggestions
