How to improve your cycling endurance?

Endurance is essential for any cyclist looking to travel long distances or improve their performance. Here are some tips to increase your cycling endurance.

1. Regular and progressive training

Consistency is key. Plan frequent outings, gradually increasing the distance and intensity. Start with moderate runs, then increase them over the weeks.

2. Work in the basic endurance zone

Riding at a moderate intensity, corresponding to 60-70% of your maximum heart rate, promotes endurance . This zone allows you to burn fat efficiently and improve cardiovascular efficiency.

3. Integration of interval training sessions

Interval training, which alternates periods of intense effort and recovery, improves aerobic capacity and resistance to fatigue. Incorporate a weekly session for optimal results.

4. Suitable diet

A balanced diet is crucial. Consume carbohydrate complexes for energy, protein for muscle recovery, and healthy fats. Don't forget to hydrate before, during, and after exercise. Blackbelt offers a range to help you with this, specifically designed for your sport.

7. Participation in group outings

Riding with other cyclists can push you to maintain a steady pace and cover longer distances, while also making the workout more enjoyable.

8. Performance monitoring

Use a GPS counter or a dedicated app to track your progress, analyze your performance and adjust your training accordingly.
