I've been training by going up slow and steady. At the Mendo ride,
Lari Shea said something about having the horse trot up hills during
training for a better workout. She was lecturing us all and I didn't
feel it was appropriate to question her about it then, and I didn't get
a chance to later.
Is the trotting up better for the cardio vascular? Would it then be
easier on the muscles and not develope the rear as much?
I know when I climb, if I go too fast I reach a point of having to
stop, and my breaths have to catch up. If I go at a steady pace, I can
keep going. Of course, I have 2 feet, Mystery 4, and we are built very
different!
So I'm a bit confused on which is best. Common sense says a little of
both. The more I learn, the more I realize I have a lot more to learn!
Thanks in advance for the comments.
