On your next climb: Ride the whole hill standing up in an easier gear, keeping your rpms closer to 80.

When you are done, cruise back down the hill.Ĥ. Concentrate on keeping your upper body relaxed and working your legs through a steady, strong motion, applying constant pedal pressure throughout the whole revolution. (Your cadence should be slow, around 50-55 rpm.)ģ. Make your first ascent seated with your chain in the big front sprocket and a harder gear than you would normally want. Find a steep hill that's only a few miles long with a relatively steady incline the whole way up.Ģ. These kinds of cycling interval workouts can supplement weight training in the gym and target more specific and relevant muscle groups.ġ. When riding up hills in the big/hard gears, your heart rate doesn't get as high and the work is a lot more muscular. "Lots of hill workouts I have my athletes do are strength training specific-they're doing their leg strengthening on the bike," Marritt says. Along with being a competitive Hillclimb we also like to mention that we promote a family atmosphere at all of our Hillclimbs. All of our classes have a cash payout for adults and trophies for the youth. Modified production cars, or specialist Sprint or Hill Climb vehicles are required to be fitted with a Roll Over Protection System (ROPS), details of which can be found in section S of the Motorsport UK Yearbook.

Marritt believes hill training involves building up strength. We are a Motorcycle and ATV Amateur outlaw Hillclimb. It is possible for a standard road-going production car to be used in Sprints & Hill Climbs without any additional safety items.
