Category: Training Planning

Although holding races is still an uncertain topic, in any case, for those of you who participate in races with a competitive purpose and the goal of achieving sporting results, you shouldn’t let your motivation wane. Because if you want to evolve, it’s through training that you give continuity to that evolution. Otherwise, instead of evolving, you will regress. Because evolution is a continuous process.

Many times you have doubts about whether you should go out to train or not…. You’re tired, unmotivated, and feel like you won’t enjoy it.

Listen to your body, this is a signal it is giving you.

Rest is important for the performance of all athletes at all levels.

Don’t subject your body to unnecessary strain.

Train with knowledge, without unnecessary effort, and with more fun and enjoyment.

Training monitoring and planning is sometimes interpreted as a path to follow only for those who aim to achieve better athletic results.

At Combativo, training monitoring and planning goes beyond just that aspect.

It is also used to help athletes who want to lose weight, improve their performance, and enjoy cycling without suffering so much. Its main objective is well-being!

And what is your goal?

Following the tips given in the post “Training on the roller, but how? (part #1)

Roller training typically “forces” an even more static position than usual. If the athlete remains seated for an extended period, this can cause significant discomfort in the perineal region. In men, in particular, it can result in inflammatory processes in the prostate.

To prevent these significant discomforts and potential injuries, you should not extend your training time by much more than 1 hour and 30 minutes. Furthermore, you should take care to constantly stand up from the saddle and pedal standing up for a few moments to relieve pressure on the perineal area.

Combativo offers some tips that you should consider during this phase where you will be training on rollers for several weeks.

The duration of a training session on a stationary bike should not exceed 1 hour and 30 minutes for several reasons… The main ones being the dehydration and saturation it will cause in the short to medium term for those who train regularly.

You should use a fan that circulates the air indirectly, so that the place where you will be exercising does not become stuffy.

Returning to the topic of dehydration, during all workouts, in addition to water, you should also consume mineral salts to help replenish them.
