Base Training Essential For a Cyclist
A cyclist starts the base phase before he performs the stress training. Base training is the foundation of his whole training program which helps him to compete in races. His planning and monitoring go a long way in the success of base phase. He can plan the volume of his workout and the time to be spent on riding. During this training, he perfects good riding position. A total time of 8 to 12 weeks is allotted by the cyclist to improve his riding technique and form. He develops efficiency during this period. If his instructor finds defects in the bike position or pedal stroke, the cyclist can use his own time to correct them. His intensity is not increased during the base phase because it results in overwork and injury. His muscle groups get used to the stress that is generated. Low intensity stress applied during the base phase prevents injury.
