Climbing



Like I said in my earlier post, I climb like a rock. In Cycling Mag I found an article that states that climbing is much like sprinting and they recommend doing these "squat jumps" plus sprint intervals. To start they say to do 4 sets of 5 squat jumps per set with 1 minute of rest in between. The sprint intervals are 5 sets of 15 seconds of all out sprinting starting from no more than an 8mph speed with a 4 minute soft pedal in between. I have started doing the squat jumps every day and the sprints every other day. Let's see if this does anything for my climbing. Above is a post that explains proper form. Watch and enjoy
