Why Your Easy Rides Probably Aren’t Easy Enough
About this episode
This episode discusses the benefits of low-intensity cycling and the importance of easy rides for endurance and recovery.
What if getting faster meant deliberately slowing down? In this episode, we explore the counterintuitive value of easy cycling, why some riders spend hours holding back, and what low-intensity training can do for endurance, recovery and long-term performance. We look at the thinking behind structured slow rides, the discipline required to resist pushing the pace, and why training easier can sometimes be one of the hardest—and most effective—things a cyclist can do.
