6 TIPS TO IMPROVE FITNESS GET FASTER
Q: I am looking to get more serious about my training and increase my fitness. What are your top-three suggestions to make the most out of each ride?
A: I think setting achievable goals is the most crucial first step. Too often I talk to riders who want to “win” every group ride or move from a Cat 5 to a Cat 2 in a few weeks. I’m not suggesting it’s not possible, but group rides aren’t races, and the category system in racing is to help riders transition up when they are ready, keeping everything safe.
In reality, training and building fitness come down to hard work, consistency and, the most overlooked aspect, recovery. A good coach can set you on the right path and help you build workouts and a schedule that fit

Hammerhead was launched with several products, including the Karoo Cycling GPS, with the idea literally founded on the bike. Unlike some computers, Karoo uses an Android-based operating system with a smartphone-esque touchscreen and visual navigation.
