You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: CoachB Subject: RE: cycling vs running Body:
The guys they call sprinters in road cycling are probably more like our mid distance guys that have a really good kick. There are no Usain Bolts being "delivered" to the end of a long road race....maybe some David Rudishas or Asbel Kiprops. If you want to look for true sprinters in cycling, look to the track (just like in running) :) There is no way that a cyclist can ride a 4-5 hour race then sprint to the win if he does not have a huge aerobic engine. The difference between cycling's sprinters and cycling's climbers, or time trial specialists is about as big as the difference between a world class 1500 guy and a world class 10k guy (if that). Cycling will give you a great aerobic workout, but as said above, you will need to do things to stimulate your muscles to work through a wider range of motion and joint angles. Can you add drills and our other general fitness activities on the grass? Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
