Are races a necessity

Races are an additional training stimulus and attraction. They can be a goal. They are not a necessary element of practicing any sport.

Improved fitness level

When practicing sports, it is common to reach a dead end, the so-called "wall".
This may be a limitation of the athlete, but also a mistake in planning. The further into the forest, the more trees.

Cycling without expensive equipment?

Is it possible? The development of a competitor on an expensive and cheap bike, with the right training plan, will be similar. When it comes to training, it can be done on a bike from the lowest price range, still guaranteeing development and growth in form. The differences begin when competing with others. Good equipment from the high price range usually guarantees better riding comfort and achieving higher speeds, but it is not certain that it has a positive effect on the overall development of the competitor. Everything in order.

Training Tools

In some sports, training tools are key, but mainly when it comes to competition between competitors. In sports such as cycling, this is most visible. Without a budget for the right equipment, it will be easier for you to compete in running than in a sport where the other half of you is a bike. You should be aware of this.

Sport is health

Amateur level sport is health. Always. It is unhealthy to do sports, cycling, running, etc., when you model yourself on athletes who do these sports professionally. Observing is not harmful, but setting the limits of your body's capabilities inappropriately ends badly. As an amateur, you do not have the tools to train like a professional.

Injuries are easy to achieve.

Goals in sports are important and we often set them at such a level that they are quite difficult to achieve. It is easier with injuries. They are within reach. 2-3 training sessions are enough to achieve the goal. A few improperly combined training units are enough to take a big step back.

Day offs in training days

In an athlete's life, there are days when no training is better than training. A properly selected training plan takes such periods into account. By doing training "by force", without paying attention to various signals, you can go down a dead end and instead of development, you will hit a wall.

Think about your goals.

Goals are important in sports training. Cycling, running and any other sport are practiced precisely to achieve these goals and to be a driving force. Be careful how you choose goals and be careful who you entrust with their verification. Sometimes goals for you are set by third parties. A poorly chosen goal for your body can end badly. This is a common mistake and the cause of injuries and frustration.

Recovery is as important as training.

Remember that recovery, rest in cycling, running or swimming training are just as important as the training itself. It is also important to properly balance training and recovery. This is a key element in the development of an athlete. It is also the element in which most mistakes are made.
