EGO: Run and bike your way to fitness

We know we have been quiet! The team have been hard at work putting the latest issue together. We know you'll enjoy it when it comes out in just over a week.

The multisport world is growing by the day as people see the benefits. This weekend sees the start of the Momentum Health i-Flex National Duathlon Series, SA's richest multisport series. Next weekend the Midlands Ultra Triathlon takes place at Midmar Dam in KZN. The event doubles as the SA Long Course Triathlon Championships. Let's not forget that Spec-Savers Ironman South Africa will soon be upon us too.

All the best for the month ahead.

What's a steady ride anyway? Asks Deon Braun
Recently I did a long steady distance (LSD) road ride with a bunch of old pals and some new ones. It was interesting to see the different approaches of riding. Some were pushing the uphills like you'd expect in a race, trying to drop those behind. Then they'd freewheel the downhills and everyone behind them would be riding on their brakes. So it was a long ride but it was anything but steady!

My advice, if you want to improve your cycling workout by 20% or more next LSD ride? Click here
