If you want to have everything under control and\u00a0<strong>worry only about pedaling<\/strong>, one of the easiest and fastest ways is to opt for\u00a0one of the Simulator&#8217;s velodromes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the velodrome, you <strong>decide the intensity of your training<\/strong>, from loosening up your legs or warming up, to a full hour session. With up to three views available: Global, 3D and video, you can choose between two classic tests:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Kilometre test<\/strong>: The objective is to complete 4 laps of the velodrome as fast as possible.<\/li><li><strong>Hour record<\/strong>: To complete as many kilometres as possible in 60 minutes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.bkool.com\/en\/2021\/10\/11\/the-velodrome-week-kicks-off\/\">Last week we scheduled group rides<\/a> to enjoy the virtual experience with the group, but how much time should you dedicate to the velodrome per week?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How many velodrome sessions per week are adequate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing we must determine when talking about cycling training is that it should not be quantified by\u00a0kilometres, but\u00a0rather\u00a0by\u00a0<strong>hours<\/strong>. The appropriate relationship is: the more hours of training, the better the cycling progression. As long as the intensity and cadence are appropriate, of course. Don\u2019t pedal beyond your capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts advise that minimum training times for beginner cyclists should be <strong>2 to 4 sessions per week<\/strong>, with each session lasting an average of <strong>30 to 60 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As sporting experience is gained, physical capabilities can take training to a higher level. After an evolution, the duration of training can be extended to a minimum time of\u00a0<strong>45 to 75 minutes per session<\/strong>. The\u00a0number of workouts\u00a0per week also increases:\u00a0<strong>minimum 3 and maximum 5 sessions every eight days.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But does this training routine have to be done entirely on the velodrome? No. Coaches recommend allocating <strong>two days a week to interval work<\/strong>. Therefore, to get a complete routine, you should set up sessions on the velodrome and sessions in workouts with your own interval design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.bkool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/velodromo.jpg\" alt=\"velodrome\" class=\"wp-image-1490187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.bkool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/velodromo.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/magazine.bkool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/velodromo-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine.bkool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/velodromo-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine.bkool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/velodromo-696x367.jpg 696w, https:\/\/magazine.bkool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/velodromo-797x420.jpg 797w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Picture: BKOOL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips on how to set it up in BKOOL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up the velodrome in BKOOL is very simple.
