      Looks crazy, do they really train like that every week during the season? Or is just before big races? Do they use periodised training with easy weeks?
      Anyway, I already have a full time job, I've no desire to add another that would eat away all my free time, especially without any monetary gain. But kudos to the pros, I guess, it's their main job, they earn money doing this and it's hard labor.

      Would be happy to get half daily TdF stages next month.

    For those new to cycling here, doing anything over 3000m elevation gain for 160km is basically going up nothing but steep climbs all day at 10-20km an hour for most people.

    • @agenthoini
      @agenthoini 6 місяців тому

      I mean you could do a 160km, 3000m ride and never go up anything steeper than 4% if you find the perfect road :D (that is with starting and finishing in the same place, otherwise even a constant 2% would do :D)

    Back in 2020 I was living in Italy and decided to challenge myself by doing a 1/3rd of the Giro on the same days as the actual race. So I did a 1/3rd of the distance and a 1/3rd of the elevation each day. First week was a shock to the system and I almost gave up, 2nd week I started finding my legs and the 3rd week...well that was tough!! Being in Italy helped with the weather and the nearby mountains, don't know if it would be achievable back in the UK with the weather and trying to find the climbs.

    Hank, I feel your pain. When I was racing many many years ago I was just a weekend warrior as was most of my follow riders.

Of course performance diminishes as we age but keep riding throughout your life, it's totally worth it.

    Back in November, last year, I'd started a Pro Training Program in Trainer Road - 6 training a week including a long intensive ride. That was very effective, I gained almost 30 more Watts to my FTP in just 4 months, and each ride ended with several new Peak Performances. However, now it very hot in the Middle East, I feel less capable to cope with the program intensity, especially Z4 intervals and I feel like my FTP decreased. I'm wondering how does temperature influence the performance? how many watts I should sacrifice just to cool my body? Can you test that please?

    He didn't just break his collar bone in Dwars door Vlaanderen, but also several ribs and cracked his sternum

    Work life balance wouldn’t be a problem if the riding was all you needed to do. Potential 8 hours 5 days a week! I don’t know how Feather manages it though.

  • @thomassohet3619
    @thomassohet3619 6 місяців тому

    Great effort, but TBH the fact that the climbing elevation is not taken into account in Hanks' training makes it almost irrelevant to compare it to Wout's one.
    I mean a 3000D+ on a 130km ride is just up and down the mountain full time. Which is not at all the same exercice as riding 130km on the flat.

    When you do challenges like this PLEASE let your presenters count this as paid out of office work. You're purely setting them up to fail with making them try to take on the work load of a full time cyclist around PLUS working a full 8hr shift. I would far rather see them have a chance to actually complete the challenge and see what happens physically.

    Do sport normally without forcing it, don't want to be like professional competitors, anything in excess is bad, life is a balance on a rope. Sport in the right dose gives years to the heart but if it is too much, it takes them away. Be happy riding your bike and don't suffer from it.

    Hey what is this? How come you can not take a dog of that size on a ride? Have you seen a dog wag its tonque out of a window in a car? Dogs love speed and I have seen dogs as a front fairing and in a back bag loving closeness and the changing scenery. Hank please try a ride with your dog in a bag to see how she likes it. While many dogs love coming along for the ride maybe it is individual. You never know until you try.

      Exactly. Which is why I suggested that Hank tries a ride with his dog to see how she likes it. I have seen many dogs love being aboard a rider.
