From Zeke:
Should I do standing bike sets? Will it help me?

From Dave Scott:
Dear Zeke, Changing your muscle recruitment pattern will optimize your potential economy on the bike. Adding segments of standing enhances quad and glute strength which will benefit all elements of racing – hills flats, and wind.

Try inserting 2 sessions per week of 20 – 30 minutes either in the hills or flats that include 50% standing. I.E. 10 repeats of 2 ½ minutes. Each repeat would have approximately 60 – 90 seconds of standing. Mix it up with different gearing.

The intensity should be moderately hard to very hard with a short rest of 15 – 45 seconds between repeats. Zeke, try it for 4 weeks and your flat time trialing will get faster. Good Luck, Dave

Good luck, Dave Scott
