Small, big chain ring days

Real Cyclists

I read before that to increase your strength and pedalling speed, you must have alternate small big chain ring days.  If you use a large chain ring, you develop tempo riding. You pedal slowly and you have to either stand or stomp on the pedals...

On using the small chain rings, you have to pedal fast to catch up with with those who use large chain rings.  You develop fast pedaling pace.  I did not observe this before.  Now I find this practice to be useful
