First Few Weeks:
For the first week or so, pedal on the trike at, medium to high gears on flat ground. Interval training, or short periods of intense speed or resistance, push you beyond your comfort zone, increasing your endurance and strength thresholds.Begin by doing interval training for 30 minutes at a time, at least three times a week. Work up to highest gear until that gets easy, go to "little hill".
Little Hill:
Find a hill (hill workout on Iron horse Trail).
Ideally, it will take you 4 to 6 minutes to ride up it. Doubleback and do 1 to 2 hill repeats as able. Again, at least three times a week. Continue to add repeats until riding up this hill is like riding on flat ground. Increase resistance and increase times a week until a 20mi ride is a walk in the park.
Yes I'm getting very impatient, I have to wait a month. I want my trike!!!
