I’m a cyclist, but I’m also a runner. Oh, and I also strength train in the gym. As someone who trains in a 'hybrid' way, combining elements of both strength and endurance into my training, I wanted to find out if splitting my time across multiple sports makes me a better, or worse, cyclist.
Training for everything and nothing can be incredibly empowering. It’s fun, dynamic and I love the variation it brings, but I’m aware that practicing three different disciplines at the same time can be counterproductive. It also means that I don’t really identify with one particular group - I’m not just a cyclist, or just a runner - which in itself can feel isolating at times.
