  • Help me out here people. I used to be ok at going uphills outside. I want to get back to being ok uphills outside.
    In particular, I don't want to run out of pop when I come home from TiK and am faced with the beast of corkscrew hill.

    What can I focus on here. Is it V02 max, is it more strength work, or should I just take myself outside and shoot myself for being old?

  • have a bite of clif bar while descending layhams, by police dog training place

  • Spend all your money on lite bke

  • The quickest fix, pacing.

    Then I'd go with building out long sweet spot/threshold intervals, e.g. 2x20 but starting with something like 4x10 minute.

    Then the best option, make yourself bike lighter.

  • I also wonder, if you're using ERG mode, if it would be beneficial to use the small ring and a lower gear. The pedaling mechanics are slightly different even if the power is the same and might be more similar to riding uphill

  • Fastest CS Grupetto person up Corkscrew is @dan

  • Do Glebe Way instead.

    Or Hawes Lane, which is almost as steep as Corkscrew, but speedbumps and traffic give you an excuse.
