Feeling wiped after a workout is not a bad thing—stress is how your body gets stronger. But here’s the kicker: progress only happens if you recover well. Skimp on recovery, and you’re flirting with injury and burnout. Train hard but rest like a pro! #cycling #mtb ceridwencoaching.com/importance-o...

The Importance of Sleep for Recovery - Ceridwen Coaching

People think of things like ice baths and protein shakes for recovery, but one of the most important things for recovery is sleep!

I can see where you’re coming from. I’ll get into muscle fibres tomorrow. That should help clear the confusion.

Yesterday I mentioned that high cadence pedalling can make you more efficient. Low cadence pedalling also has its place. The truth is, you need to master both and the actual cadence you use is individualized. The terrain can also dictate the cadence you use. #cycling #mtb #mountainbike #gravelriding

High cadence pedalling is your secret weapon for cycling efficiency! By spinning those pedals faster, you spread the workload over more strokes—giving your muscles and joints a break and helping you ride stronger, longer, and with less fatigue.

Combating fatigue is a common hurdle for endurance athletes. Implementing strategic rest breaks, staying hydrated, and maintaining proper nutrition are essential components of fatigue management.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, stuck in a training plateau, or just not recovering the way you should, stress might be the culprit.

Here’s a post on how to manage stress and training if that describes you.

🚴‍♀️ Feeling exhausted despite training? Psychological stress affects performance, too! High stress = more cortisol, slower recovery & higher injury risk. Adjust your training, get outside, and prioritize sleep. Your body doesn’t separate life stress from training stress—balance is key! 💙 #Cycling #mtb

Need motivation to consistently get out there and ride? It helps when you have a fun goal to look forward to. Pick a ride that excites you (and maybe intimidates you a little). Whatever you choose, give yourself enough time to train and break it down into smaller, manageable chunks.

Your bike should feel like an extension of your body, not a medieval torture device. If you’re getting numb hands, aching knees, or a back that feels like it aged 20 years mid-ride, it’s not just part of cycling—it’s a bad fit.

If there’s one thing I cannot stress enough: eat and drink before you feel like you need to. If you wait until you’re starving or parched, it’s already too late.

It’s the difference between finishing strong and crying on the side of the road.
