As some are aware a good chunk of my training is gym based on a mon-fri basis.
So, next year we're doing Pass'portes du soleil and also some climbing on the Alps on road rubber. PErsonally i'll be on the 29er HT, one maybe both of the other lads i expect to be on Roadies.. However, that's of little relevence.
So this week i've been 'climbing' on the bikes in the gym. Which boiled down for teh last 2 days to be 45 mins on the maximum resistance the machine goes to. Which equated to 50rpm cadenece overall. With a couple of bursts for 1km intervals.
Now i forsee for example Alp D'Huez taking >1hour but obviously as i've not ridden there, i don't know if me upping these trainings to 1hr 30 for example is sufficient for the climb as i don't know if the resistance i'm training at is real-world to what i'll be climbing in.
Any thoughts on what i should be doing etc ?
