Road Bike Climbing 101 Part I

By Thomas Chapple

Climbing often falls into two categories.

1) I love climbing (meaning “I climb well compared to others”)

2) I hate climbing (meaning “Climbing is not my strongest asset”)

There are many factors effecting climbing.  They include how you train, what your natural abilities are, the tactics and strategies you use while climbing, and to some extent the equipment you use.  This month I’m going to discuss the tactics and strategies that lead to more successful climbing.  Next month I’ll outline some specific workouts you can use to improve your climbing fitness.  I want to start with how you climb because it’s an area that, when applied, can result in immediate improvements and is often overlooked by even the athlete most dedicated to improving their climbing through training. 


Regardless of your current fitness and natural abilities you can climb better by climbing smarter.  Sprinters I coach have also won the Washington and Arizona State Road Race Championships by applying some of these strategies.  Yes, I did have them train in a way that helped them improve their climbing and will discuss that in Part II next month, but that is just part of the equation. 

Here is some of what you’ll find in my book Base Building for Cyclists and some of the advice I give my athletes.
