发帖数: 1498 | 1 the past two road races have been a very humbling and motivating experience.
i have come to the conclusion that, even just to survive the lowest level
of racing, one needs to train hard and smart in the following three aspects:
1. endurance and efficiency -- ability to ride for 2-3 hours or more at
medium effort. the challenge is on the body's energy conversion system.
training method: logging long miles, efficient riding.
2. anaerobic threshold -- ability to sustain a high power output, wit |

发帖数: 4931 | 4 I often get a bit sore quadricep tendon on my left leg after a 2+ hour
bike ride. It was not serious and goes away in a day or two, but was a
bit alarming. In running my injuries are always on my right leg (right
knee, right shin...), but in cycling I only get soreness on my left leg.
Is it because my left leg is the driving leg somehow? Do I need to make
any adjustments?

this may be your mind subconsciously compensating for your injury in the
right leg, meaning you are using left leg more, resulting soreness. It's
common to have uneven leg power.

cause injuries to you that easily. however, crashing is a different story.
with the race quickly approaching, you might want to be extra cautious on
the bike, finalize the fueling protocol, and be careful of the food you eat.
not a good time to try new things.

it's a good deal for me.

I can get used to clipless pedals in less than a week. But I could get
used to a new bike in less than a week.
