It can’t be said enough, consistency is the most important part of training for cyclists aiming to get faster. It’s not about the occasional “hero” workout or the longest weekend ride—it’s the steady flow of targeted sessions that truly build lasting fitness. 

In the real world, busy schedules and unexpected life events can derail even the best intentions. That’s where TrainerRoad steps in, making it easier to stick to your plan and see real, measurable progress. Below, we break down how TrainerRoad’s smart training tools keep you consistent, on track, and moving forward.

Why Consistency Is Key to Cycling Performance

Consistency is crucial because regular, structured workouts create a progression of stress and recovery that leads to steady fitness gains.

Sporadic hard rides might feel impressive in the moment, but they often lack the continuity needed for long-term improvement. You may even need to take extra time off the bike to recover after hard efforts.

By staying consistent, you can build a strong aerobic base, increase your FTP, and develop the resilience to handle tougher training loads.
