Feb 10, 2010 - for a good workout I would say yes but I'm a little iffy if you should do it for repeatsThe hill is to be just under your lactate threshold and if you're getting off and walking I'm assuming that your legs burn so much that you can't spin anymore. I would definitely still do the hill but you want a hill you an do over and over a few times like he's saying just under your threshold to get a nice burn. Then when you get you legs like steel you can face the other hill and do repeats on that.

May 29, 2010 - Just do it to a certain distance/time. If it's the only hill within a reasonable distance, you've gotta work with what you've got.
folklore2 Says:
May 29, 2010 - Well he is riding up a hill... The fella that doesn't talk looks perfectly fine, he's not overextending/underextending his legs at the base of his pedalling circle. Carmichael looks to be a little underextended compared to him, but I think he would have some idea about bike fit... maybe he generates more power with that position?

Jun 11, 2011 - Sorry, but above the lactate threshold, breathing tends to be deep and fast, not shallow, because of metabolic acidosis being compensated this way. Totally agree with training below the threshold, this actually rises it. On contratry, training above makes you stronger, improves pH buffering capacity, but lowers the threshold. Makes you more sprinter than climber. Livestrong!

Jul 13, 2011 - Carmichael's not a youtube lardass, he coached LA to most of his wins.
ClockCutter Says:
Jul 28, 2011 - Bah. Stretching out the legs in a pedal stroke just makes the hamstrings so much more ineffective. No, Chris has a fairly classical European pedal stroke. Who are you to challenge that kind of stroke??

MrSuperbizzle Says:

Nov 4, 2009 - Is this okay for a beginner? I have some hills to climb biking to my school which is 13km. I get seriously winded and not just that but the intensity of the hill is sometimes too much that I have to walk the bike up :( Really would appreciate some tips...
