Q How can I improve cycling uphill?
Adding hill training into your weekly bike sessions will make the world of difference to your riding. The best way to improve your climbing stamina is to get on the road, find yourselfyour personal record. Have a go at doing some out-of-the-saddle climbing, too, where you alternate between 1min seated and 1min standing for a hill of around 10-15mins duration. On all your hill reps, use the downhill for some muchneeded freewheeling recovery. For indoorcycling obsessives, it’s important to detach yourself from the turbo for hill training, as it won’t work your climbing trunk stability as well as real, outside cycling.
