If you are looking to step up your training and want to increase your performance, one of the best places to start is with your bike nowhere in sight. Strength training stimulates your muscles in a way that is hard to replicate simply by riding and can go a long way to eliminate any imbalances and prevent injuries.
Cycling performance is an intricate combination of key elements, from your physical training to mental health, through to on-bike skills and your bike fit. In and amongst all of these is arguably the most important element for both performance and general health, but it is also the one with seemingly the most contradicting information whenever you head online. Nutrition.
In this feature, WorldTour nutritionist Dr Sam Impey shares simple and easy strategies to get the most from your riding.
Cycling is a sport that heavily rewards consistency with regular training as the cornerstone of any good training plan. Motivation is the underpinning element that is arguably the most important if you are looking to maximise your performance with everything else stemming from a place of motivation.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
