Just read a post from a professional trainer. He dedicates 1 day to leg strength training. Basically the suggestion is to ride a difficult route with a good amount of hills in the big ring only. He said you should mash and grind the entire route and only use the big ring. More reading indicated that you should only increase cadence if you have knee pain or soreness. Apparently the target cadence should be around 60-75.

Anyone do this type of training before and have any tips? Hoping to build more strength to get my up and over the hills faster as a Clyde.
