From a coaches point of view, some of our athletes do use the gym a lot, mainly because it’s very track oriented and the gym work is important to get them off the line. I think generally, if you can ride a bike that’s obviously better.
But if the gym replaces doing nothing at all then that’s very important. Other sessions like getting in a spin session, those type of things – any work you can get in is a better compromise than not doing anything at all.
