I just switched out my stock xr3 tires to a fast track front and renegade rear and it is unbelievable how much these tires brought the bike to life! So much fun!
It is so amazing that a world champion and one of the best cyclists of all times talks to us like she is our friend and sharing her life. Thank you Annika, love from India. Thank you for treating us like we are your friends. I subscribed years ago and I am so, so happy you are uploading regularly. May this continue for years.
Annika, you're an amazing person and have greatly inspired me with your cycling achievements. I wish you the best luck with this new stage of your life. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Annika, cant imagine what you guys been through. You such a strong and unbelievable person. Holding thumbs for you guys for the rest of your pregnancy.
@AnnikaLangvad1 my questions are as follows: - on the 5 days with heat training, you complete 50 min on the roller. do you do a second unit on this day with basic training? if so, how long and at what intensity is this performed? - in the 2 days without heat training, a volume and intensity specification would be helpful/useful. - how do you meassure the bodytemp.? whit core? if i assume that in the 2 days without heat +/- 10 hours of basic training, this results in just under 15 hours of training time per week or 75 hours for the 5-week block, which i think is very low - but since i don't know the effects of the heat, i'm asking you these questions above. thanks for your time and feedback
Woah, that was an extremely intimate and personal video. Massive respect for putting it up here and sharing the "journey". Big congrats on the big belly :D any names yet?
wow congratulations, I'm really happy for you both. It was also really interesting hearing a bit about your background and how you got into racing. I had assumed that you had been racing since you were a child.
I think, altitude is probably safer and easier in some aspects. I road in he heat alot last summer lol.Then the cool fall air hit and boom 🚀 hit a new VO2 MaX every week for weeks topped out at 61. Could be completely unrelated.
The difference between what you've done compared to high altitude protocols, is that they don't actually train at high altitude. They live at high altitude while training at lower ones. The idea being that at high altitude the athletes won't be able to train with as much intensity or volume, meaning that they will lose muscular power. But by training at low altitude they can still use the same intensities while getting the increased blood plasma as a result of living at high altitude. Perhaps heat works the same way. You can't work to the same intensity while the body is so hot. So train the usual way and do sauna after each training session.
Love the upgrades! I’m looking to bring my rear from 130 up to 140 what is the part number for the yoke and rear shock from ohlin that you used? Thank you 🙏🏼
You know someone is at a whoole different level when they get Öhlins for a budget upgrade. When I saw the boxes I was like 'ok this is not some random youtuber'
After updating to the newer version, I regretted my decision as I found the older version of Fast Track to be faster in comparison. I have exclusively used the older version for the last four years.
Excellent video Annika, thanks for sharing! Also, great work covering Cape Epic! If you do make a comeback, it'll be nice to see you challenge Sofia at Unbound Gravel!! Just pretend she's Jolanda and sprint past her at the line. 😄
I have 2019 alloy Stumpjumper in Meduim and I do like it, it could do anything from city riding to trail to downhill, also, the alloy version seems as solid as a tank. I'm still itchy to get a carbon frame however just to try it out.
Outstanding video! Used heat training last year to train for a multi-day sportive and no doubt it allowed me to maintain power late each day. Are you using torque efforts and if so would love to see a video which shares your experience. 👋
Hi interesting video. But just to clarify, this looks like an older stumpjumper with the HorstLink. Do you have any opinion on the newer Stumpjumper with the flex stays? I have been hearing some negatives. Do you have any opinion?
