These are some proper videos, loving the content you're putting out 🔥 Totally stoked about your engagement on Reddit too, that kind of interaction is super fun
I've been asking myself whether pros keep to the UCI rules, such as no supertucking, no elbows on bars... Looks like JD isn't bothered! So that's that answered :D
Good advice, apart from the sprints 😂 👍 If I ride on recovery day, I always keep intensity super low too - e.g. less than 50% of FTP. Its actually pretty fun to see how low I can keep my HR on the recovery rides
been watching your stuff but this video made me hit that subscribe button. the insights you bring to the profession and the style in which you do it are what make you unique to me. great stuff man
I recently bought a Ridley, absolutely adore it. Going to get one of the one piece bar stems when I can find one. This is a great video. Subscribed now.
Probably one of the most interesting channels that deal with cycling! Amazing insights on what we all dream of ... but end up watching on TV :) Keep it up!
Great video. I don't see anyone commenting on 1:08?! Geez, I wonder if he saw the last car - it looked like it was hidden behind the second to last car 😬😬. Either way, so calm and cool at that speed. And I love the needling you give JD 😂
why did you remove some of your older videos? 😢 I had just found your channel and was looking forward to watching them thansk for the great content though
For peak recovery skip caffeine etc on easy days/recovery days. Using CNS compounds like caffeine will keep cortisol too high thus reducing sleep quality and lowering immune function. Anything that hinders sleep will decrease testosterone and as a result decreasing hemoglobin.
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it! Depends what I’m after, if it’s a little bit of solitude and some afternoon spring skiing then Isola 2000 is unreal
I'll try and do a separate video for those who like the technical stuff, but essentially the first week at altitude is far easier intensity because of the strain on the body during the acclimation process. Higher heart rate, respiratory rate and metabolism along with your body working hard to produce more RBC's. After 1 week we usually bring back intensity, but still very cautious not to overdo it.
Proper recovery is under zone 2 but if I’m doing efforts the ‘recovery’ portion might be higher depending on the intent. There’s no rule of thumb, I have a mix some days with efforts, some without
Hi Harry! I noticed your using a Garmin.What's your opinion about the Garmin recovery recommendations? Do you find the recovery recommendations kinda of "accurate" or completely off? Also,is the Garmin Vo2max,training status similar to your real Vo2max or is this completely off as well?
@@yannickokpara4861 If you are concerned about safety than being a road racer is the wrong sport for you boss. You CAN'T worry about safety and be a pro cyclist. You do what you can but to be a pro you have to be willing to die on the downhills and thru the fast corners or you will be dropped.
@@durianriders That's a stupid argument, since there is no reward for the pro cyclist in taking risk in training. If you watch tristantakevideo filming his friend Ben O'Connor, he does the exact opposite. He goes fast, but he doesn't take risk in training.
I'm probably the only cyclist who doesn't yet have a power meter. Can any generalities be made for power outputs in certain gear ratios at a given cadence? For example, you quoted ~163 W...would that represent a 53x17 @ 85 rpm, for example?
@@marcvb3364 Thanks for the reply. What if we assume flat roads with little wind on a reasonable paved surface...I could ballpark it from there based on perceived exertion.
