I use Schwalbe City Jets on my mountain bike, they easily add a few mph to the average over knobbly tyres.Comment

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostPlus; if you try tabata intervals on the turbo trainer/exercise bike, you'll find that it improves your VO2 max (maximum oxygen uptake) and your heart rate recovery much quicker than constant pace cycling; you still need to do the long slow mileage, but add in two sessions of tabata intervals per week. Google tabata, but basically it amounts to this;
20 seconds flat out, 10 seconds rest, 20 seconds flat out, 10 seconds rest and so on; repeat 8 times, then rest a few minutes, then do it again.

Tabata Training - The fastest way to fitness and fat loss
In the original study the exercise was done 4 times a week. That site is all about weight loss, these methods were actually developed for highly trained athletes who had reached a plateau and couldn't increase their performance any further by simply doing more low intensity training.
I would go so far as to say if you aren't fit enough that you can do it again after a rest, you probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Don't know about cutting out on greasy food. Cycling to the chippy is good exercise, then on the way back you have to cycle really quick with the extra weight to get home while it's still warm. Mixing it up...Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Have you got one of those little satellite tracker thingies? I use one for jogging.
