Thomas Chapple's Base Building for Cyclists shows how a stronger base makes a stronger, faster, cyclist. A cyclist needs to have a strong foundation & a high fitness ceiling before the season even starts. Fundamentals like strength training & skill development take a backseat once race preparation begins in earnest. This is just one of the reasons why Thomas Chapple argues that the success of the upcoming season depends on the extent to which you can build your foundation of aerobic fitness, or your base, for the road ahead. Whatever your goals as a cyclist, early season training should focus on broadening the aerobic base & building cycling-specific strength & skills. In effect, this builds a bigger, more efficient engine to help you reach higher intensities later in the season. Chapple's guide for cyclists extends beyond the vital pre-season months, establishing the strong foundation that leads to enhanced overall fitness & speed. ...
