You're welcome. I'm glad the video was helpful.

Yes, Richard has a fantastic palmares. Which race did you do at Almere?

@@RealLifeReviews I did the Challenge Middle Distance. I live in Almere, by the way ;)

@@gustavofcabral cool, I hope you had a great race. I spent quite a bit of time with Ku and then did the full.

@@RealLifeReviews they even got a podium place, right?

@@gustavofcabral Marlene Deboer won and broke the bike course record. Chloe Sparrow was fifth (her first long distance). Lars Lomholt was third in the men's pro as well.

I'm glad you found the review helpful.

@@stevenyhe hi there and thank you for your kind words. I think they do come up small. I'm 5'10" (178cm) tall and weigh 83kg. I have relatively short legs, long torso. I sent Deboer my measurements and they suggested the size and that if necessary I carefully cut the legs (I haven't 😀). If you go on their website they list the relevant measurements and you can send them over, they will then tell you which size should fit. Good luck, I had a massive PB in IM Hamburg this year in mine.

@@chatlow hi there. It's designed for wear in the aero position. I think/hope you'll find that when you get on the TT bars it will feel different.

Glad you like them!

Ku Cycle say the Evoc Road bike Pro.

I am in complete agreement with you over the projected readyness and current goal readyness. What's particularly frustrating is that you can follow the plan and see your projected readyness go down, especially with a rest day that's part of the plan. Two weeks out from IM Hamburg everything was 100+%. By the time I was half way through my taper I was 88%. Overall, I rate Humango but there are areas where there is still work to be done. Ultimately it provides me with a core structure which I can play around with. Your current level by the way is very good. You will have no problem with your 70.3 and Full - it'll be about your target times 😅. Good luck.

@@RealLifeReviews im glad we agree on that. i was quite irritated. i cant say im too happy about it, since its 29.- a month (hefty) but i think i will keep it. it gives me some good structure and a sense of obligation to be compliant to it. without such a plan i most often train way too hard. i go running at a hard pace, do too many threshold runs or my cycling trip is all over the zones. so the plan teaches me to go easy and even if its just 2 weeks, i learned to appreciate going much much easier but regularly. its quite different to what i am used to and i think my vitals are quite positively influenced by that. also it gives me some level of elite-feeling as im doing quite often more than 1 training per day ;-) lets me feel like a pro, haha. thanks for saying my stats are quite well. that gives me a nice confidence boost :-) have a good day!!

@@99cya I know it's not a bi-weekly planning solution but if I want to do something similar I go to my calendar and delete a session then add in another from the library. I suspect the reason it's not built in (at the moment?) is that long term programmes will have periodisation built in and also often work in blocks (i.e. 3 weeks building followed by a recovery week) progressing through different phases (base/build/peak/taper.....).

@@99cya Hi there. First off let me confirm that I have nothing to do with Humango, I'm not an employee or ambassador and I pay full price for my package 😀. Having said that I think there are two aspects of complexity that are particularly relevant to you. The first is the plan itself. In this case it is a matter of setting the activities (number of, length of and which days) and your goal to suit you. This in itself is quite straight forward. You can then alter this as you work through your plan should you wish. The second is the data. Quite 'simply', the data is there - you can simply ignore it 😀. However, as you train I think you are likely to want to see how certain elements are improving, even if that just starts with resting heart rate for example. As you progress you can 'entertain' more data elements. For me almost, if not the, biggest bonus of Humango is that it gives you a very cost effective structure to follow. I hope this helps.

@@RealLifeReviews thanks for your time answering. i found something that bothers me. is there any way to export the running workouts to my apple watch or garmin? i cannot see myself running around with a printed sheet of paper or re-building the workout manually into the watch each time. that wouldnt be much fun over many months .... how do you complete the running workouts?

Hi. If you link your garmin watch to Humango it automatically pushes your run and swim workouts across 👍

@@RealLifeReviews thanks. I will try that!

So far I've not had a problem with them.

@RealLifeReviews Can you take them off and put them under water 💧? I did and there was a small leak. Try it with one of the older ones

Thank you for your kind words - it's much appreciated.

Indeed - thank you.

I believe you can with the correct spacer (1.85 mm I think).

@@RealLifeReviews thanks 😊

Thank you for your kind words - it's much appreciated.

Cool 😂

Not a problem - thank you for your kind words.

Hi and thank you for the comment - it's the larger one 😀

I'm afraid I haven't had chance to compare with the Restore. As for the heel, it's designed to collapse so that you can wear it either way.

@RealLifeReviews The collapsed heel is a good idea but I read one review saying the heel part was hard to get on. The Clifton 9 and the restore tc have heel tabs. Wondering how the heel went on for you? I ordered a pair regardless. Thanks

Thank you 😀

I personally get really hot feet so when the weather is really hot I tend to wear the sliders (or sometimes these with socks on).

🤣🤣

Thank you - I'm glad you like them.

Just a little heavier and a little bit less stiff. Arguably better value for money 😂.

@@RealLifeReviews on my half and full iron man’s snappiness is not the most important thing The Energie in to the system will be the same

Truth be known that's the same for most people 😀

@@RealLifeReviews but my …cutie bad carbon addiction….. I don’t know …

😂😂

This has a built in pressure gauge

Hi there - as with pretty much all the competition this does have a built in guage, it is only the smaller pumps that don't and with these you are balancing size and weight. The pumps are made in Australia but whether they buy in the motors or not I don't know.

As has been said - this does have a built in pressure gauge 😀

CO2 should be fine. Just remember it'll 'seep' out quicker than air like it will with ordinary butyl tubes as the molecules are smaller.

Thank you for your comment - it's much appreciated.

Hi there, I've not done it (I don't have a Wahoo) but on the export tab where you would download a Zwift file there is also an option to export to Wahoo.

I'm pleased you like it and thank you for taking the time to comment, it's much appreciated.

Thank you for your comment - it's much appreciated and I'm pleased that you got something useful from the video.

🤭 looking at my wheel right now with that sticker on outside (older plastic valve model), still stops the rattling but yeah I see why putting it on inside helps with metal bits if any. You learn something new every day 🤣.

You can and some people do but I don't. You have to remove the valve core and inject it.

Hi there - I do have an Alien 2 review. The Alien 2 is a bigger tool and has some spanners on it. More suited to bike packing and bigger days on the trails.

The trade off between weight, size and usability is always an issue with multi tools.

I'm in agreement with the lack of a Philips.

Thank you for your kind comments and not a noob question. For weekend bike packing I personally would use the Alien. The extra weight and size wouldn't worry me (whilst bike packing isn't a race I tend to look for any training positives that I can 😀) and the useability (larger tools, not having to remove the chaintool, having spanners) in poor conditions can save a lot of frustration. The caveat I would add though is that I would be carrying a separate Dynaplug tubeless repair kit. Do enjoy your bike packing and drop a comment somewhere to let me know how your first trip goes.

A good question and as you might expect the answer depends on your preferred type of riding. For bike packing and long days on the trail (MTB) it would be the Alien 2 - chunky and easy to use in poor conditions. Racing on my Tri bike it's the 20Pro (partly because I use the Dynaplug Racer Pro plugs and don't therefore need any of the 'tubeless specific' elements). Bike park/enduro days on the MTB it would be the 20Pro if I was carrying Dynaplug or the PT30 if i was using ordinary plugs. I hope this helps.

I'd say it's not strictly necessary - especially if you have good plugs.

Good luck and I hope you enyoy.
