I don't hurt...

I don’t hurt… by Inkalinka_on_the_bike In a ‘’cycling Utopia’’ the tarmac is always smooth, the temperature is always right, the wind is always a slight ‘’tail’’ and…you obviously never hurt. Dream on…but wait a minute. No pain, or more precisely no lactic acid build up pain is possible. I have found that you can minimise pain by taking these lactic acid buffer tabs by Xendurance regularly.
Now, I am lucky to be working with Xendurance this year, but believe me, I BOUGHT these before I worked with them. They really do the trick for me. I take three tabs in the morning and three in the evening, and voila…no pain!
Some say: ‘’no pain no gain’’. Let me tell you…I have no pain AND GAIN. These are the benefits of taking buffer tabs I have noticed: I recover faster recovery periods, my VO2 max has increased and I’ve not experienced any inflammation for a long time. They help me keep your training consistent, because I rarely experience that ‘’John Wayne’’ feeling the day after I have done a hard workout and hold off my fatigue.
Now, with a few cycling events I am looking forward to this summer and many group rides with my club and friends, I shall certainly keep taking these beauties regularly to prevent the lactic acid build up I used to experience before.
Who wouldn’t want to be one step closer to that ‘’cycling Utopia’’?

How to get stronger on the bike. Fast!

Does the magic formula really exist? I didn’t think it did…until recently. I had desperately been trying to get faster and stronger on the bike for months. I tried various cycling training plans on Zwift but without much success. There were two reasons they didn’t work for me: 1. I love the freedom of cycling outside and the social aspect of it, and you can hardly do intervals when riding with friends 2. I work full time and (unfortunately) most training plans on Zwift are very time consuming, I mean they are a commitment of at least one hour a day and sometimes 2 or 3 hours on some days And so I wondered. How on earth am I going to improve and how am I going to improve fast before I lose the motivation and become frustrated again. This happened before, when I reached a plateau in my long distance running training and I just lost interest. The first thing I wanted to do is lose a few pounds and stop snacking so much in the evenings. I also wanted to eat more reasonably. What I me

2022? Seems ages away…but…

Have you had the best year so far? I know there are still two months left in 2021 and a good few months left before we can start hitting those PRs on the road again, but early planning definitely means a better chance of success in my world of cycling. So how will I tackle the short and dark winter months ahead to emerge reasonably fit and ready to roll on the other side? Here is my strategy. 1. WINTER BIKE I have my winter bike ready to go as soon as the weather turns. I am still trying to cling onto my summer bike for as long as I can but my winter bike with aluminium wheels is ready to go. This is so important. I don’t want to get caught one Saturday morning (club ride) not being able to ride due to not having it set like it should be. 2. KIT As you know, I own a few pieces of kit…can’t deny it. With limited wardrobe space, I have to rotate my summer and winter kit, so as the weather gets colder, I put away all my short sleeve jerseys and bib shorts and out come all the warmer ga

Gravel Grind on My Mind

I’m a road cyclist. I have been for about 7 years now, since I abandoned my long distance running due to frequent knee injuries. I love my road bikes, the solo rides and the cake runs with my friends…BUT…I have seen too many cyclists (myself included) involved in road accidents with cars. Let’s face it, no matter how good of a cyclist you are, the car always wins. So in January 2021 I started looking at gravel bikes. It wasn’t the best time to look, as the post pandemic cycling market is scarce, but I am very determined. I knew the exact bike I wanted. I am a Canyon girl, my ‘baby’ is my Aeroad and I knew the only bike for me was the mighty Grail. Looking at the Canyon website made me cry because the delivery dates were in 6 or more months’ time and I knew there was just one way to get what I wanted: the Canyon outlet! Daily and obsessively at circa 8:30 am I checked the outlet page on the Canyon website for the Grail in my size, which is a medium and eventually, it appeared! My G
