I’ve heard the ideal race weight is 35kgs on Zwift.

@plantfuelled8912 5 лет назад

and 4ft2

@BobMorrisWI 5 лет назад

Plant Fuelled that’d be a goliath to hide behind!

@michwoz 5 лет назад

I've heard such stories, but somehow never seen anyone like this.

@ellismccoy 5 лет назад

All my life my biggest fitness struggle is weight. I EASILY eat too much, just to maintain weight I live in a state of hunger. Does my head in.

@jdonald24 5 лет назад

Guys, I received a free month from a Friend. I have tried Zwift, Sufferfest and now TrainerRoad. I love how I can turn on Paw Patrol, Ride my workout and entertain my son at the same time. But what I like the most are the added drills and lessons. Totally a convert now. Thank You!

@TrainerRoad 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing your story Jeff! We're so happy to hear that you're loving TrainerRoad :)

@christianjamesemsen867 3 года назад

I first thought you watch Paw Patrol by yourself :D

@charlieguinn5087 5 лет назад

My ideal race weight is 205 lol. I'm not killing myself to get smaller I'll stick with racing the clydesdale class

@WheezyCyclist 5 лет назад

A fellow 200+ rider, Nice...(92kg at 192cm) desperately trying to lose weight though

@richardmiddleton7770 Год назад

My power to weight increases when I'm lighter. Power increases when I'm eating more but power to weight goes down. It all depends on your event, flat TT's vs. long hilly road races.

@shwndh 2 года назад

You're having to eat more and it's a challenge? I'm on the wrong podcast. LOL!

@TrainerRoad 2 года назад

Haha! We can all relate to not eating enough of the *right foods though, yeah!? :)

@NewEnglandDirtRoadie 5 лет назад

i pack on muscle like its going out of style. i cant seem to shed the blubber. losing pounds is also a huge struggle. last time i got shredded was when a GF broke up with me, and i stopped eating solid food for 2 weeks straight. lost about 20 lbs. i was shredded. lost muscle mass too. but damn, could i get up a hill like never before i'm 5-8 and its nearly impossible to get below 163. maybe its my mesomorphic morphology?

@mikebayless4268 Год назад

Listening in the Drive-Thru getting Burgers and Fries!

@mikebayless4268 Год назад

But I have lost 30lbs.. 225lb to now 195lb

@richardpate1897 4 года назад

Thoughts on Dr. Volek’s “Art and Science of Low Carb Performance”? Dietary Fat could be the primary fuel source for endurance athletes vice carbs. If you read it, please share your thoughts. Thanks

@robertwhyte3435 5 лет назад

Is there a caloric deficit that will cut fat but not cause a loss of training ability?

@TrainerRoad 5 лет назад

There is no set caloric deficit that applies across multiple people, and fat consumption isn't something that is determined solely by caloric intake/consumption balance. Our general guidelines with this are to fuel your workouts without over indulgence, and to only carry the amount of deficit your body can sustain.

@robertwhyte3435 5 лет назад

@@TrainerRoad Thank you, that does make sense, since different people will be able to use fat stores for energy better than others. I was just hoping there was a general rule number that might be good enough. I'm guessing the answer is, eat enough to do the work I want to do and let the weight work itself out.

@michaelolson7626 5 лет назад

Does hunting down PB's and KOM's in strava count as a structured workout if you do it reliably? Since they can act as sprints, or climbs, or TT's and the competition helps you push yourself, could using strictly strava be seen as "effective" at all?

@TrainerRoad 5 лет назад

Hey Michael! We've actually covered this before, check out our video on it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-opJYtABwcSg.html

@annukun7318 3 года назад

127lbs at 9 to 10 percent year after year here

@SiegA776 5 лет назад

In general people are eating way too much. Even us amateur athletes.

@adaycj 5 лет назад

Exactly. I think a video of athletes (granted not pros) that ride a lot may be a little unbalanced. It is really tough to parallel the commentary about all this eating with the fact that almost every human I know, including me, struggles with eating too much. These guys have arranged their lives to ride and exercise year round, and at a pretty high level at that. My friends, family, co-workers, the kids I work with, and even my kids all struggle. Their struggle definitely isn't failing to fuel a physical performance, it is all the rest of the eating that goes along with life. What I hear in these videos is the same struggle we all have maintaining a healthy relationship with food that all of us have.

@Cyprusmichalis 5 лет назад

You almost made fun of people who just enjoy riding bikes outside, stopping for a coffee and enjoying the sun and sea ! I’ll stick to that and let you hamsters keep your wheels turning.

@sealcycle2020 4 года назад

toughen up and get a thicker skin. Stop whining like a millennial.

@AlasdairMcLellan 4 года назад

I mean, casual cyclists really aren't the intended audience for the podcast...

@benglover6019 2 года назад

You completely missed the intended point

@kt9493 Год назад

You can do that on recovery or zone 2 rides. But you should have general structure and 2 hard days per week. After 4-5 weeks have a recovery week with zone 2 most of the time.
