Now I have to train myself very hard if I want to go on a cycling tour. Well, yes you have to train but, not as hard as you imagine. The key here is consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do all the proper training using a power meter or a heart rate monitor. Here I am going to talk about how you can train even if you do not have one. You will only need a simple cadence sensor or not even that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going through regular training will make a stronger person. So, when you are on your cycle tour, you will have enough energy to explore the location even after your cycling is done for the day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Training for a cycle tour doesn\u2019t have to be difficult. Your goal is to get in enough mileage in your legs so that you can easily cycle on your tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, I am going to share with you how you can train for a cycling trip and also a few general tips on training so that you are efficient while cycling on your trip<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Cycle training that you can do<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"533\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1389 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image.png 710w, https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-320x240.png 320w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 710px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 710\/533;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an indoor trainer, then it is good. If not, you can practice outdoors. An indoor trainer can help you in getting structured workouts done and also it will save you the time of cleaning your bike again and again after you ride outdoors. Also, indoor training is safer to perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here is what we recommend you do. In a week try to do at least 2 fast-paced rides and two long rides at a medium pace or slow pace. If you can afford a cadence(rpm) sensor, then you can do the following workout:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5 min warm-up at 90rpm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 min ride at 110rpm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 min ride at 90 rpm<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Now repeat step 2 and step 3, five times and then 5 min cooldown at 90rpm Now you will have done a 1 hr workout. Repeat this workout 3 times a week and on the weekends go for a long ride of 2 to 3 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"596\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1390 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1.png 975w, https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1-768x469.png 768w, https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-1-320x196.png 320w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 975px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 975\/596;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Include bodyweight exercises like pushups, squats, planks, lunges, shoulder bridge, burpees, etc twice a week along with your cycling workout. Bodyweight workouts will build your strength and bone density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, this was one type of training that you can do. It is not necessary that you must do 5 sets of cadence training. You can even do 3. It depends on you. Also, it is not necessary that you have to ride at 90rpm only. You have to decide what rpm is right for you. 90rpm is ideal but, how much can you sustain for 5 mins? You have to ask yourself these questions and try to perform these exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can vary these training plans in many ways. The key here is to be consistent and cycle every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not have a cadence sensor, then try to ride fast 2 days of the week, keep one recovery ride in between here you ride at your normal pace, and include two medium-paced rides on the weekends of 2 to 3 hours. Do not forget to include the bodyweight exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can cycle to work if you want to be consistent and thus get in the mileage in your legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A few general tips for training:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start your training at least 2 months before your cycle tour starts.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not need to train for the whole year for a one or two-week cycle tour.&nbsp; Of course, unless you are consistently doing cycle touring, then you may have to. Also, it is a good habit to cycle throughout the year to stay in good shape. Starting your training at least 2 months in advance prepares your body for the continuous riding that you are going to do. Research says that it takes 66days to form a habit and hence 2 months is an ideal time for you to get in shape and pedal for long distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eat healthy food<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most obvious thing to do yet many people take this for granted. They think that if they are burning so many calories while cycling, they can eat anything. This is so not true. Treat your body like a temple and put in only good healthy food. Include a good amount of plant-based food items in your diet instead of animal-derived ones. This is because research has shown that people following a vegan or veg diet recover much faster from strenuous workouts. This is will be particularly helpful to you during your long touring rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, while you are training, try to eat the same food that you will be eating while you are on your cycle tour. You will get used to it and hence you will not have any stomach problems. During your ride don\u2019t forget to drink a lot of electrolytes along with plain water. It replenishes the salt content of your body lost during cycling. You can even make your own homemade energy bars to eat while cycling. They are much better than most of the energy bars you get in normal shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ride without breakfast in the morning<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Exercising on an empty stomach will not only burn unwanted fat from your body but will also train your body to use fat as a source of fuel instead of proteins and carbohydrates. This is important as fat burns slowly as compared to carbohydrates. As a result, you will spend less energy while cycling and can get away with not needing to eat a huge amount of food. Also, who doesn\u2019t want to burn off their unwanted fats?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with using carbohydrates and proteins as a source of energy is that they get used up quite fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep on changing shorts every alternate day or use padded seats.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Using padded shorts or padded seats is a big relief to your body. I have experienced riding without padded shorts or seats and it has not been a painful experience. I do not want it to happen to you. Padded shorts are not only comfortable for long rides but also avoid any injuries like rashes and back pain. You can also get your hands on padded shorts that provide extra UV rays protection for more safety and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use an indoor trainer if possible<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Use an indoor trainer because it will save you time, it is safer and also you can get in structured training consistently. Use the one at the gym or invest in a turbo trainer where you can attach your bike to it. Also, did you know that a 20km ride on an indoor trainer is equivalent to a 30km ride outdoors? That is 1.5 times the distance! Yes, this is because while you are pedaling on the trainer, your distance is calculated only when you are moving your legs. The moment you stop the wheel rotation stops and your distance is not counted. As a result, indoor training is quite effective and makes you fitter faster. But it is advisable to ride at least once a week outdoors so that your mind and body are trained to face the weather conditions too during your cycling tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"563\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1391 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2.png 975w, https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-768x443.png 768w, https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-320x185.png 320w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 975px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 975\/563;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I would like to say that for a cycle tour of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyclinginindia.com\/\">cycling in India<\/a><\/strong> or anywhere for that matter, cycling consistently is more important than training consistently. Why? Because, if you are getting the mileage in your legs, then at the end of the day it is enough for you to comfortably cover the mileage in your cycle tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Structured training will make you a stronger cyclist and also improve your fitness in a much faster way compared to if you just cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, should you train in a structured manner, depends on you. Whether you want to just finish the cycle tour which you want to go for or become so capable that you can do difficult tours too in the near future. I would prefer structured training.
