Hello, I'm a 26-year-old male, 189cm and 79kg
I've been cycling for just over half a year now
I've completed gran fondo events in Tongyeong and Muju, and I ride 30-40km on weekdays, but I'm significantly behind compared to the teams I ride with on weekends
I want to train systematically, but I don't know training terminology and such, there's so much I don't know. I don't have a power meter yet (planning to buy one soon). I have 1-2 hours free after work on weekdays. Would doing hill-focused training frequently help? On flat or slightly inclined terrain, I can maintain an average speed of about 35km up to 50km, but then I fall behind. Since I'm falling behind (the people I ride with aren't saying anything), I feel self-conscious and frustrated
Could it be because I haven't been cycling long? If anyone has training methods or good apps, could you please explain them to me in detail?
