As cyclists, we often incorporate interval training into our rides—pushing through brief efforts followed by recovery periods. Yet, it's equally crucial to pay attention to our average speed overall, not just in efforts. Improving this metric can significantly enhance our efficiency on the bike!

From boosting performance and tracking progress to helping plan your routes, understanding your average speed can significantly improve your cycling experience! Join Conor as he explores why average speed matters.
