What I found is that if I am paying close attention to my pedalling technique, i.e. smoothness, cadence and rhythm, eventually my average speed is higher!
Hey GTN, this video covers good tips on bike training. Any chance you guys have some thoughts you could share on combining bike commuting with the rest of triathlon training? In particular, dealing with challenging commutes (high winds, cold weather) of 20-30 minutes that can cause overall physical fatigue. I’m not speaking of what to do on the bike commute but, rather, strategically taking how you feel from the day before and adjusting for today and tomorrow. Thanks!
Hey GTN The video's are still getting better every day, so is my training thanks to you. But if i scrap my junk miles, what are the hours/km (endurance z2) what i have to do for a 70.3 and a whole ironman on the bike?
Well maybe back in 1985 when I was younger it would work, but being 62 yrs young I have the time because I am retired now , so its not about getting faster and my age , but stronger, we cant out train the aging effect . Look at how many complete in age groups 35-39 40-44 , then look how it drops off the map 60-64 65-69 age groups injuries and illness , so I train not looking in the rear view mirror , but 1 day at time , but ahead so I will be standing 70-74 75-79 maintaining what my body with allow as I age .
I have a somewhat related question, that I actually asked Heather earlier, but she said I have to ask "the boys": How do you blow your nose while on the aero bars without getting the snot all over yourself?
you can have good fitting clothing with ouy wearing lycra and the main contribution to drag is your possition so if you get that right a good fitting normal tee would be good enough for going fast
I have the same cervelo. Truly smooth ride. Thanks for the vid fellas good stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Great video.
Talking about aero: I guess your can improve by a narrower fit of your jerseys.
Narrower is not always better but its a good rule of thumb

That arm hair at 4:14 is good for about 3 watts.

i Havent tried on aero bars but i usualy use my right arm for my blowing my right nostril as it tucks my sholder in properly
1) ride downhill
2) ride with the wind at your back
...im out.
At what speed does clothing really have an impact? Trying to avoid wearing the lycra.
At 0 km/h, which includes hot days and stationary biking.
