[QUOTE="jobe, post: 79626, member: 22388"] It's been a while since my exercise science classes (I'm a Phys Ed teacher), but here's my 2 cents...... I think the key is a combination of training....duration and quality are the keys.... Running to a set goal of "mileage" is not as beneficial as a goal set in "total time"...instead of going out and running a goal of 2.5 miles in 20-25 minutes, set out and go for a 45 minute run, with no concern of how far of a distance you travel....riding is a combination of both aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen) acitivity. There is an endurance element in long moto's or enduro races, but also sudden bursts of energy required ( like running a 10 yard sprint or a football player making a violent tackle....big burst of power, followed by a break in movement or energy) I would suggest to continue to work towards an improvement in endurance, but also a strength training program that improves power. Sounds a little strange to me as far as the throwing up goes, even if you are in fair shape. Heat and humidity is definetly a factor where you ride. As a previous post touched on, acclimating yourself to the heat would be a big plus, meaning include training in the hot conditions you ride in the most. If you do seem to generate lots of sweat, you are not hydrating yourself enough.... Sounds like your on the right track, just don't over do it and be patient with training. [/QUOTE]
