Article Excerpt:

In my last post I wrote about muscle fiber types and how their development affects our performance.  Basic concepts like, "train long to go long" and "train fast to sprint fast" are simple enough.  But are there ways for competitive athletes to development their speed off the bike that will complement their on-the-bike training?  Certainly.  Power and speed athletes from many sports use the gym to augment their sport specific training.  Gym-based training can provide a stimulus that exceeds that which one might get on the bike.  The idea is to then take these adaptations and hone them to cycling specific movements and skills.
