Anyone who can ride a bike can complete a Lands End to John O’Groats cycle. However, if you are not fit enough and do not eat the right sort of things then it might take you a long time and it might not be very enjoyable.
The amount of training you will need to do so that you can cycle from Lands End to John O’Groats will depend on your current fitness level and the objectives of your ride. If you are a regular cyclist and you intend to take a leisurely three week tour your training requirements will be somewhat less than someone who hasn’t been on a bike since they were a kid, doesn’t do much exercise and wants to complete a charity End to End in a week.
The Training Section of the website has ideas on how to create a training plans and information on:
- Endurance training for cycling end to end
- Interval training for cycling end to end
- Stretching exercises for cyclists
- Strength exercises for cyclists
