One of my goals last year when I started to use my bike a bit more seriously was to cycle 100 miles in a day. It sounds easy after all those guys on the Tour cycle that every day for three weeks and more over mountains and stuff. So I tried for the first time, here in Spain we work in kilometres so it actually sounds further, I had to go 160 kilometres. It was summer and hot so after about the first twenty kilometres, 15 miles, I was a bit dehydrated. I turned around and just made it home before literally collapsing in a heap with jelly legs.
I thought that what I needed was some training so I got online and looked for a training course that suited me. Well what I found was this Training course. It told me what I needed to be doing, what mistakes I needed to avoid and a whole lot more. Three months later I did it. Therefore I highly recommend this course as it comes from experience. It takes you by the hand, or the pedal with step by step instructions of how to get to where you want to be.
If you want something for not so specific a target then check out David’s training programmes here. Loads of information about how to train for cycling from a master cyclist
