Cam doesn't always look at metrics when he is riding his bike, he likes to race - trying to beat everybody on the day rather than doing a personal best.
Focussing on perceived effort and investing in kit rather than your bike are two of his top tips to a fast bike split! Check out the video for the rest of Cam Wurf's cycling tips.

What tips do you have to add? Let us know 👇
most important things is to have fun on training and race likewise.
"Train hard, race easy." Damn that's a great quote. I need to paint that on my handlebars.
Send us a pic when you do!
Greg Romero US BMX Olympic Coach teaches his athletes that. Such a good quote that translates to all sports
@@alexandersewell2669 The quote comes from Emil Zatopek: You should go hard in training, so its easier in race
Cam's a natural! Get him on for a guest GTN show!
Yes..Yes...Yes..
Great video Mark, really good interview of a very forthright pro. A couple of key "takeaways" for me are: Get a bike that is comfortable as opposed to really cool looking; if you can't do it in training don't expect it to happen on race day - miracles don't happern on race day. Cam and Sebi don't even use power meters at Kona!
Thanks Barry, glad you enjoyed the interview
He talks about how important clothing is. He set the record using a Roka sleeved tri suit.
Such a nice guy Cameron is!! Apart of the great quote "train hard, race easy" for me the most important tip here is that it doesn´t matter how much power you´ve got if you´re going slow! Such a great truth!!! Watts are not speed ! :) Thanks GTN for this interview and thanks Cam for the tips!! Looking for more videos like this!
In the sport since 1985 always focused on speed and avg speed, at age 61 still learning, and now my indoor bike, road bike, TT all have power meters, which I find is good for gauging the wind . With a bike trail going 20 MPH with a head wind my power might be 200 watts, turn head the other direction and now tailwind gives me 20MPH with 135 watts , so watts is not speed , yes, but its about energy used in how to balance that speed . And I use watts to gauge my recovery , legs are heavy , watts show it .
What an awesome interview! Cameron Wurf +1 Fan right here
Thanks Caleb
Cam seems like a really cool guy, he did really fast bike on my local IM last year also in Kalmar. also impressive that he changed sports 3 times :)
He sure is 😎
Probably one of the best videos you guys ever uploaded in terms of quality of information!
Thanks!
Great interview...thanks for this video! Its nice to see athletes truelly share there REAL thoughts and ideals about there sport!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed the interview with Wurf
Best TT/Tri racing advise on youtube hands down 👍
Best GTN interview so far ! Loved it 🤩
MrTux0 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for asking the road bike/TT bike question! I was wondering the same thing.
Such an Awesome Athlete is Cameron, loved watching this interview
“I try to beat everyone”
You do.
Excellent video. Cam is one of those people - as soon as he opens his mouth you just know that he knows what he's talking about.
Cheers sharkdom
Great advice from Cam! Interesting to note that other pro’s s seem obsessed with power meters ( like Sanders) whereas Cam seems to focus on what his body is telling him and using that as his ‘meter’ so to speak... results say it all.
Yeah, cam pacing to feel is a sign of a great time trialist. Very strange that he'd recommend the Casc bambino as that helmet has everything to do with obsessing about staring down at the power meter. How you distribute power on the course is the input which will lead to an output. The output is your overall time for the course. If your 'feel' does not translate to power applied at the right place and time on course, then your 'feel' just screwed up your race time. So I think if you can some how try and tie your 'feel' into knowing about what that wattage is, it could be very helpful. I know guys who do this well, I seem to need a lot of help in this area. For example at the beginning of a ride 500 watts feels like 400 and at the end of a ride, vice versa.
Such a great guy! Thanks Cam and GTN!
But: A couple of watts more spent on a climb at low speed increases the average speed more than a couple of watts invested at high speeds because of air resistance rising with the power of 2.
Great video / interview. Thank You Cameron and GTN. It is always good when atheletes share their tips and experiences. Best Wishes.
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it! who else would you like us to interview?
Thanks for asking. I don't really mind as everyone is different. It is just nice to see/hear athletes share details of their training and choice of equipment to suit their own strength/weaknesses.
Loved this one, thanks!!
A very interesting video!! Always good to listen to some advices from a pro 😎
If you have ever seen him ride he's so light on his bike. Smoothness is the key and he has the smoothness
Very good Video, thank you for that!
Wow im really surprised that he doesnt spend most of his training in the TT-Position, but rather on a normal racing bike?
Its very interesting.
Makes more sense to me
It makes sense and it's normal as he is a former road cycling pro, and most of them dislike TT bikes/races. He is used to the road bike position and as he said, it's more comfortable and powerful for him but he acknowledges that an TT bike/position in a non-drafting race like IM has more advantages than the road bike/position.
Rares Raducu and also if you want to go out with a group - tt bike is not always the best choice!
Nothing special, road bike possition rulez! :)
eg.
one from the top M40 Kona is also train only road bike possition
Surprised on the little time on the TT bike! Great video
This guy know his stuff... and communicates well.
He sure does!
Excellent video, more of these!
Plenty more coming soon! Did you see our video with Emma Pallant or Lucy Charles?
Not related to this video... but have the winners of the give away helmets been contacted already? I din't see a video after these latest giveaway videos.
Thanks
This video was awesome
Good stuff
Awesome video! Inspiring stuff
Thanks! Which is your favourite tip?
Lots of great nuggets in this video, but if I had to choose one it would be that you don't have to ride the TT all the time. The road bike enables you to generate more power during your training and is more comfortable. Train Hard race easy!
9:49 sneaky mars bar 😏
1.04min what product bringing his polar computer on the board does he use?
Did they really sensor the word "crap"? Haha
Great video! 👍
Thanks Ryan! Who else would you like us to interview?
You guys always pick interesting people to interview! I just thought Cameron Wurf was very well-spoken and he provided great info. I had heard of Cameron several times, but had never seen him interviewed.
really gr8 advice
Thanks Ian!
I train only on my hart rate monitor and i have no powermeter.
How can i put the training sessions what is based on the FTP in my training schedule?
Keep up the good work.
Mark
Ok so it seems to be working very well for him :) but what would be the point in being able to put out more power on a road bike and why would you train on a road bike vs doing much bigger % on TT big as thats here you need to be able to get the power out?
Great video
Thanks Tyler!
Humble guy
Training tips from Cameron Wurf please.
I love how he’s the only one with money to have a bolide. And I love how he calls out marginal aero gains vs your body. But who cares he has bike records. Finish is all that counts.
They're not that expensive... certainly not compared to other Tri bikes!
Scott McKenzie ummm they are frameset only $14,500
Yeah Scott, you could've at least googled it before you decided to reply. What is it with people on the internet wanting to be heard, even when they don't know what they're on about?
Is the whole bike aluminum?
What model KASK helmet does he use? The black one I think he calls the "bean O"?
Kask Bambino
How many bikes does this guy have 🤔😂, great athlete Cameron btw
what brand of aerobars and spacers is he using?
MOST, like all Bollides?
really interesting that he only rides the TT bike/ position 20% of the time.
We found that pretty interesting!
wise man. to hell these expensive power meters - i knew its just add wheight )
He's been riding for so long he knows exactly what 300 watts feels like.
Come on!! 11 min of video and none great shots of his bike?
“No power meter in Kona... look at the speed not at the power.” 😬
That saddle though... his nuts must be crushed!!!
Scott McKenzie my thoughts exactly
I don't know how they do that for 5 hours.
Its better too have a $2000 bike and ride 250 to 320 miles a week, than a $7500 bike and ride 150 miles , time on the bike
Sure is important to get the time in to train, and that can be done on any bike 👍
Obviously
Must.. get.. zwift.. 😐
'CRAP!'
I think he should put the power meter back on and not time trial the triathlon races so he can run after.
'Casc bambino probably a great helmet'.... Proved wrong by aero coach. Cam wurf I think is the same guy who says the 80mm rear can be faster than a disc. Supposedly if your speed is slower then the 80mm wheels become more aero than disc.are you sure about that?!? 'go hard when it's easy and easy when it's hard'. Another statement he makes. Not using your brain to think about what is ahead on course. Oh my, this advice is terrible. And it's down right contrary to the truth. At least he is saying train hard so you are used to that intensity. That is good advice. I don't mean to be so negative but when you point at the color blue and call it red.... I'm going to call you out on it. Reference Taylor Phinney 'be a slave of speed'. Reference me: 'be an enemy to any slow speeds on course and don't tolerate the slow rather push through'. Reference Cannondale themselves 'my new bike I just created is 200 billion watts faster than your bike at 300kph'. (exateration) but that means going a small % faster in speed at a relatively high speed will cost you an inordinately higher percentage of power/work. Don't push that downhill Cam. Don't believe me? Go to gribble. Org for the bike calculator and do the math. Forget about how you 'feel'. OK if you can't np more than your avg, then pace at an even power. But by golly learn how to be variable. Np:avg = variability index. Some rare courses demand 1.1 but even 1.05 you should be able to do. Reference David Millar : ' I bury myself up a climb if i have used my brain to know what is ahead and I know there is a recovery on a down hill coming up (for downhill look above at Cannondale statement). Ronald katuba or whatever the guy is from Slovakia with a you tube channel, he says when it's hard go hard. He's looking to be a national champ there and he knows what he is talking about. But I mean really if you want to be the fastest I guess you rejoice when videos like this are created. Because this advice will make the masses slower. To each his own but you take your own and I'll take my own and l would love to race you!
I think you've taken some of his comment out of context, his main piece of advice concerned learning a course and figuring out how to find speed, his comments about going easy when it's hard refer more to motivation and perceived exertion during a race effort - obviously there are critical moments where you have to suffer, however over the course of an ironman effort there are plenty of times when conserving physical and mental energy are really important! Thanks for your comment!
