Abstract

In early March of last year I was suffered a stress injury from riding a bicycle. I had been training heavily, and was forced to stop training to allow my body to heal. During my time off of the bike, I stayed in shape by running and swimming. When I returned to the bicycle, I found that my level of fitness and biking ability had not depreciated as much as I had thought it might. Cross training had proven effective in maintaining my cycling skill level. I decided to research how cross training and cycling specific training effect the ability of a cyclist to perform in a certain race.
