Thanks Maddy. Very helpful. I'm a gravel cyclist and I totally agree that the strength requirements of gravel riding up steep pitches really benefits from extra strength training. Also just strengthening the upper body and triceps specifically helps with the pounding on the bumpy downhills to reduce upper body fatigue on long gravel rides.

super gedaan

A video on core workout would be great!

Congratulations!

How do you incorporate stretching and mobility into your day to day? I’m soooo bad about stretching haha

Great part 1 video & q&a. Just wondering I know as you mentioned that post injury you need to follow your physios advice but for legs rather than the barbell exercises you've re recommended what are your favourite machine based alternatives. Thanks

very informative! thank you maddy! ☺

V interesting, thank you !

How do you measure progress? I'm guessing there are some objective measures like how much you can lift and how often, biometrics like heart rate and respiration, that sort of thing - but what are the on-bike indicators that you are improving?

This is a banger 👏

Tom pretty much describing my journey into strength training as a 65 year old. My own research basically said that at 65 my muscles would naturally be wasting so I needed to strength train as well as bike BUT I would need to fuel with a lot more protein in my diet as well. Ive added strength to my yoga and core session - and a lot of fat free nigh protein yoghurt and the cheapest most sugar free. protein bars I could find and the difference has been massive.

Really useful… and..no wonder you’re so strong on the bike, split squats are a killer and it’s good to see a coach who walks the walk..those quads of Tom’s - I’m in awe. Only need to 4x the weight I’m currently using..!!

Thanks Maddy and Tom, this was very insightful! I also really like the relaxed format. Although I did feel a bit sorry for Tom as he hardly had time to devour that breakfast 😂.

Mmmm.... French toast.

Outstanding video with excellent info. Subscribe!

Happy New Year, Maddy! ☺

Is it ok to do a strength workout immediately after a bike workout if that is all your time per week will allow? I understand it is not optimal, but doing something is always better than doing nothing, right?

Your last video inspired me to do leg day workout. I had to take elevator to go up 1 floor at the office today. 😂😂

Love the drawings on the wall behind. 😋 Great video, very informative.

Love the new outro! Also really informative video in general.

Great info!

Blimey, that is a pile of toast and Almond butter!! Not wonder you have to do strength training

This series is so interesting. Thank you. Also want your breakfast please 😂

Excellent mini series on strength Maddy and Tom. Please don't leave the viewers in suspense any longer. Once Tom's 'Tower of Toast' appeared on screen. I for one shouted out 'what is it? I want it'. I feel the creation of this breakfast deserves a video short of its own👩‍🍳

Excellent series - Tom explains everything SO clearly. His approach seems like a joy to follow as a Pro. Wishing You a Healthy, Safe & Happy 2025😎

Box squats are designed to build acceleration. The point is to sit on the box, completely relax, then explode up. You also need to use bands or chains. Watch videos of Louie Simmons and Westside Barbell to learn how to properly do box squats.

Thanks for the recipe and I’ve made a batch and they are delicious but are very sticky.

Thanks Maddy, technique reminders are always useful

Courtney you make your country proud

Are you going to Unbound Gravel?

Another straight male here, Coach Tom looks the part as well as talks the talk. I hope you benefit from his guidance in the gym and I look forward to seeing how you perform in your races in 2025. Best wishes to you both and Bailey.

As a straight male this is the first time I’ve thought “strong buns there fella”.

It's going to be a cracking year, lots to look forward to. I hope it all goes well for you and you have a heap of fun and win all of the races - or at least enough to keep you smiling. Stay safe, race smart, train enough to be dangerous.

Happy for you guys Kick ass in 2025

Happy New Year and best wishes to both of you on the Engagement🥳🫶🫠

Excellent decision to step away from social media for a while, but also great to see you’re back! Coach Tom seems awesome, he explains very clearly. Best of luck for the new season, and enjoy your engagement! 🎉

Couple of points: Knees over toes on Bulgarians doesn't lead to the instability and it's fine if the knee does track beyond. Your coach is extending his hips too much at the top of the RDLs. There's no benefit to pushing your hips forward as much as he does at the top of the movement. Otherwise this video is a good resource to show simple exercises for people to include in their S&C

Lovely and looks like great use of your time building strength to help you through your race season. You are inspiring me to do some strength training now.

Félicitations Courtney & Maddy! Also looking forward to another custom paint job!

I hope Lauf are OK with some sibling paint pen action 🙏

Holaaaa Maddy.. Feliz año !!

Bailey is a lucky man 😂

Would you consider racing in the upcoming Grand Tour event on TrainingPeaks Virtual?! March 24-30 and it would be awesome to have you come and race it! Should have a really great turnout and would make for some exciting content

Felicitationes Maddy! Engaged! How exciting! Cant wait to see the new bike and all the podiums in 2025!

Congrats on the engagement and lauf sponsorship! Are you getting into ultra cycling too?

Are you riding Lauf bikes as well for races? Thank you.

😍❤️

I watched this since I'll be riding Girona's gravel in March. Well done and thanks!
