You Ride 100 Miles a Week Why Are Your Legs Getting Weaker?

You Ride 100 Miles a Week. Why Are Your Legs Getting Weaker? You ride a hundred miles a week. Your legs turn the cranks more than 50,000 times. So how can they still be getting weaker? Cycling can build extraordinary endurance while quietly leaving gaps in strength, balance, and power—abilities that become increasingly important as we age. And because you can still ride for hours, those losses can be surprisingly easy to miss. In this video, we look at what cycling trains exceptionally well, what it doesn't, and how a small amount of targeted training can help keep your legs capable both on and off the bike.
