Do some weights or low RPM climbs (and I'm talking about 30rpm).

That was for the corkscrew climb

6 minutes 50 seconds from my calculation from the live GEM coverage

04 Feb 2012 3:34 AM posted in Lance - Cheat or no cheat?

I have become very philosophical over the years in regards to drug use. The way I see it, it is only cheating if you take something that no one else has and is against the general direction the sport wants to go.It seems that drugs have been around for ever in cycling. For example, in the 60's the drug of choice was amphetamines, in the 80s it was steroids (remember Ben Johnson the sprinter?!). In the 1990s to 2000s it was EPO. If I really want to be cynical I'd say that Lance probably introduced his US Postal team mates to EPO after seeing it's benefits during his cancer rehab ( which he admitted using in his book). It seems both logical and plausible. Now, it seems, the sport wants to clean it's tainted image so any form of drug taking I would view as cheating as it is going against the direction the sport wants to take. As for Australans taking drugs and in particular Cadel. Well, logic dictates that he may have taken drugs at some point in his career. I'd be surprised if he any drugs now as just watching him race he is riding like a human with guts, determination and suffering. Back in the late 80s, when I used to race, I have my suspicions about systematic doping in the AIS squads and I suspect the riders never knew anything about it. I will elaborate. It was commonly known that the AIS riders took "vitamins" via syringes. Add to this that the road squad had an East German coach (why bring in an eastern block coach if not to learn how to do systematic doping as this was their speciality), a lot of money being spent on AIS programs and the need to deliver Gold medals, and it all adds up to a well organised doping program. And, as I have stated earlier, I believe the riders thought they were getting vitamins not drugs. Idealistically I hate drug use as it negates natural ability, probably shortens your life and isn't great for the sport and especially the young kids but logically I see why guys would take them to be on a level playing field...

Lots of ways to improve hill climbing. Besides the obvious comments by Robert Millar in the 80s who said "ride hills lots" I would suggest you find a some varied hills. Shock your muscles. Vary the gears. Do hill sprints to build up lactate tolerance. Do a big hill entirely in the saddle and on the top chain ring to increase leg strength once you get to Brett Aitken level ;-) Do the hill next time entirely out of the saddle to burn the quads. Breath in for 3 revs and out for 3 revs to increase lung capacity. Keep shocking those muscles. Remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And also rest rest rest. Add another hour of sleep after a killer session. Riding fast uphill always comes down to physics. Increasing the watts/kg is the only way you can go faster uphill. If you're over 7 go over to Europe and ride the TDF :-)
