I want to cycle from London to Istanbul via various eurovelo routes. I’ve been cycling a bit throughout the week where I can around work (little 15-20km rides) then on the weekends doing big rides like 80km but after those days I’m usually super tired. How did you get to a place of doing 100km day after day? How do you train, what do you eat, how long did you train for?
I’m planning to leave for this trip next spring so I’ve got around a year to train for it. Would massively appreciate any ideas!
I didn’t cycle at all growing up only really just picked up a bike and learned to ride properly as an adult and on the roads earlier this year. But I have a good ish baseline of fitness doing the long day rides from sporadic gym/spin class/running throughout my adult life
