I commute down A roads and find that if I pedal in circles I can go alot faster than just pushing alone. Yes I start breathing harder because I'm using more muscles and when I first started using this technique I could only sustain it for a short time before the extra muscles I was now utilising started to burn. But I got fitter and the muscles became conditioned and now I can sustain it and go alot faster than I used to be able too. Haven't you ever wondered how these roadies buzz along at 25mph, I did!!!
