Good hill workouts

[JasonHolder]

Hey guys

Starting a hill period now to add a bit more to the leggies.

Any favourite hill workouts you enjoy and provide a good return?

Personally have found unbelievably steep hills give the best returns, but I'm pacing this 4 weeks slowly building up and would like to try some new workouts from this decade

Personally a fan of riding a moderate 4-6min climb,
1repeat of (eg) 39-28
2nd repeat of 39-25
3rd repeat of 39-23 and so on- to failure.

any thoughts on spending 2 weeks working on force development-low cadence

And then transitioning to using high cadence with the newly acquired strength for the remaining 2 weeks?

Find the hill that kills you. Stick on a rucksack. Add weight. Add more weight. Add even more weight. When your up to 160LB and can still climb it, your done.

Is this up or down the hill Jason, downhill is a killer for developing cadence.

Going up after trials and finding its better to recover down hill than pedal. I soft pedal and tuck up descending. Good idea to up the cadence though. Nice one

Soft pedal

Youre most annoying because youre an incedibly fast guy and yet talk shite rather than spread your wisdom.

Whats so funny about soft pedalling? Having little tension on the drive chain but still turning the legs is hilarious!!! I see your point funny man.


And accept/decline my strava request if you would be so kind.
