Please find the fundamental training for bike riders in this article and remember to integrate the advices into your life. Just as many training programs exist for bike enthusiasts, as there are coaches.

Several basic rules of thumb can help you out developing the best possible training program in order to improve your skills as a bike rider.

The plan and training for bike riders need some upfront knowledge. Before you begin to develop a training program, the fundamental training must be achieved. In other words, you ought to gain certain stability in your training, so in this way there can be something to build on. 

As one's starting point, you should train your body to be able to train 3-4 times a week, either by bike or another type of sports. At a minimum you should train yourself to cycle approx. 800 km during a month, before you can begin to compile a more advanced training program.

One ought to go by bike on easy highway training rides approx. 3-4 times a week for a length of approx. 1-2 hours each time. As a start you should begin doing this twice a week for 30-60 min and build on it from there.

If you are an experienced bike rider, this fundamental training ought to go without saying. If you are a beginner, it is just a matter of getting out on your bike and taking it nice and easy with trips of approx. 30-60 min. at a time, preferably 3 times a week and steadily training yourself to take a minimum 2 hour bike ride 3 times a week stretching over a month.

When your fundamental training has been achieved, you thereafter calculate your average training distance per. week. This distance must not rise more than approx. 10-12 % per. week when you are to build on your achieved fundamental fitness. This applies for both training distances and time consumption from week to week.
