I lately signed up for Strava premium which helps you to examine efforts with others in your similar age group. Strava tracks “Kings of Mountain” (KOMs) and “Queens of Mountain” (QOMs) for numerous routes. A handy native problem for me is climbing Llagas highway, which is simply quarter-hour away by bike. The climb presently takes me slightly below six minutes which is an efficient size problem.
This locations me 87th out of 142 in my age group who’ve tried this phase. There are a variety of quick previous people in Morgan Hill!
I’m not a very good climber so this offers me one thing to concentrate on enhancing. Coaching to get sooner at that may require the sort of intervals I’m already doing, however I’ve to concentrate on doing them uphill as a substitute of on the flat. This might be a enjoyable problem for me over the following few weeks.
I did this effort very first thing yesterday morning. I then went house and switched bikes from my unassisted highway bike to my electric-assist bike, which I took on my Tuesday group outing, an extended experience at a better tempo. However to start out off with my climbing coaching I turned help off on all important uphills and rode them extra briskly.
