hello,

do you workout? how do you manage having the time and energy to lift and cycle on a regular basis? How has working out improved your performance?

Thanks

I force it, making sacrifices where ever and whenever necessary. Fitness first is a lifestyle, not a slogan.

I work two jobs I'm in the gym twice a week on the road or track 5 days.
It helps to live with a girlfriend who shares the same coach. We still don't have time to do anything together that isn't on the bike.

Either you're into the lifestyle of racing and understand the sacrifices you need to make to compete with those with superior genes or its just fun for you. What ever floats your goat

one of my goals this year was to complete an "everest." I failed a couple of times when my training scheme used to be commuting 15mi/day + 100mi ride with big climbs on weekend.

I cut out the gigantic weekend rides which were knocking me out for the entire following week, and started running to the gym 4-5 times per week to do hiit body weight exercises. I continued the daily commute and my 7h climbing-fest on Saturday turned into a 2h sprinting-fest.

This was a better strategy because I maintained the energy to make it into the gym so often and get a good workout just by doing lunges and things.

It worked because I completed my goal a couple of weeks ago.

We fiancee and I have been lifting for about 2 years now. We just got into cycling at the end of August so now we're trying to ride about 20 miles on our lifting off days (3 times a week). Lifting is engrained at this point. We both feel like shit if we miss a gym day, so motivation isn't really an issue. I'm sure it'll feel the same with cycling soon.

I started with liftan many years ago (9? 10?) stopped for a few years too in between bec with school and work it got too busy. I like my downtime more than anything else.

Now I am unemployed so I ended up losing a bunch of weight (60 lbs) and the past two months I've been focusing on body recomp.

Its all about priorities, I got burnt out trying to lift and juggle work and school. I kept beating myself up for it to. Focus on your priorities even if that means not doing xyz physical activity. Your mental health is more important desu.

With working out I can keep higher candence on higher gears which means more power/ watts. With baiku I can breeze through back to back heavy sets because my cardiac system is ace

Livin the dream, minus being broke
