Hello everyone, I have a regular cycling routine and consider myself an enthusiast, but since contracting COVID-19, I’ve noticed a significant decline in my endurance. Routes that I used to complete with ease now leave me feeling fatigued halfway through, with my legs unable to generate the necessary power, severely impacting my performance.
To address this issue, I’ve tried incorporating some physical training to aid recovery:
Running: Primarily to improve cardiovascular endurance
Weighted vest: Wearing it while walking or jogging to improve load-bearing capacity
Gym strength training: Doing some heavyweight exercises to strengthen core and leg muscle groups
However, the results so far have been less than ideal, especially in terms of sustained endurance and explosive power during cycling, which haven’t improved much.
I’m wondering if I should be more targeted in my approach, such as adding interval cycling training or doing more core stability exercises?
