New technologies that are currently not on the UCI ban list mean the riders in question can't be accused.

What a clueless wonder 😮 Drug tests are a joke when anyone can microdose EPO and then the newer methods.

LeMond is a master at projecting- I’ve never, ever believed he didn’t use PIDs at his peak. End.

Lemond talking about more than he knows, imho.

Key fact here is to fuel for 40% of your energy consumption during a long Z2 ride. That can be a large amount of carbs if your Z2 is high. Eg my Z2 (70% max HR) is around 245W. That is around 880kc per hour (=3.6x245). Eating 40% of that is around 350kc or 90g (=350/4) carbs per hour. Reverse engineering that calculation, someone needing 120g carbs per hour for a Z2 ride is riding at around 325W for Z2 which is what Pogacar said his Z2 was approx when interviewed by Peter Attia. That is extreme but my first calculation shows how much many amateurs may be underfuelling for their Z2 rides if they are just getting themselves a bun or cake slice at a coffee shop.

My weightshredding plan is burning away obecity with1,1 grams pr kilometer on the bike, combined with somewhat thoughtful eating. I have did this with 6600 km this year biking away from 7 kg. Previous years the plan has failed in the late autumn, but not now, because I have got an indoor trainer, keeping my biking consistent trhough every single month in the year.

This is like saying that Pete Rose would risk it all by betting on baseball. It all depends upon this -- Is Froome stupid enough to believe that he would not get caught? I don't know that.

Cheers Anthony, im putting that submaximal test into my weekly training, after a rest day as a warmup before a harder session, there's good descriptions of the testing out there I used 6mins at 60% ftp, 6mins at 80% ftp, 3mins at 90%ftp then the heart rate recovery for 1min interesti g stuff thanks for the podcast...

THIS STUFF IS GOLD---THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ROADMAN!!!

Thanks Anthony - so much gold here in the extract. I've recently completed the Science To Sport online coaching course. John and his team are a first in class organization that educate cycling sport science in practical terms. 11/10

This clip doesn't talk about the headline, "Why you're always tired". It's about carbs and weight.

Why does Greg Lemond have Barad-Dur as a MS-Teams background? 😅

You could’ve just stopped, recording, found out the right answers, and then re-recorded it

It takes away credibility when you and the nutritionist fumble about converting kilojoules to actual calories

Your garmin gives you calories though... just look at that...

Hold on, so, can I eat Haribo or not?

I decided to watch this clip in the hope that I would be listening to someone who knew what they were talking about. Sadly I've just wasted my time.

The human body is about 20-25% efficient in converting chemical energy (from food) into mechanical work on a bike. For a cyclist riding steadily, the kilojoules measured by the power meter closely approximate the total energy expenditure in kilocalories due to this efficiency. 1 kilojoule (mechanical work) ≈ 1 kilocalorie (biological energy expenditure)

It's pretty odd that she's on here as an expert yet doesn't understand the difference between kj and kcals.... The kj value that your computer gives you is an amount of work done... Literally the energy that you have put into the pedals.... To calculate the amount of energy you have burned to output that amount, you need to take into account the energy efficiency of the human body. A rough rule of thumb is that 1kj of work done required 1kcal of chemical energy in your body to be burned

A kj is roughly equal to a kcal because roughly 20-25% of the power exerted to push your bike is actually converted to mechanical energy, the rest is released as heat. For simplicity, we assume 0.239 mechanical efficiency to equate kj to kcals.

0:33 humans are made of proteins fats and minerals. While carbs are beneficial they aren’t necessarily to replenish glycogen stores. Protein isn’t a fuel source unless you completely deplete your glycogen stores. 1:56 absolutely not. It does not offset carbs. It may slow absorption if you eat protein first.

I think you may want to reconsider what your average listener does for training: I don't think most of us stop at a coffee shop mid training ride. That seems like sacrilege to me 😂

7:35 120g CHO/h using the calculation below would require an energy expenditure of 4250kJ for the same ride or more than 1000kJ per hour. Roadman avg 210W for 4.25 hours for 2634kJ. Consider your power output before trying to take in 120g/hour. Most mere mortals can not sustain the power to justify it.

3:40 calculating Carbs required from power. Total kJ 2634 in 4.25 hours = 620kJ/hour. /4.184 to convert to Cal = 148 Cal/hour. Replacement @ Z2ish effort = approx 40%. Replacement at threshold = approx 50%. 148 x .4 = 59g CHO/h for lower intensity. At higher intensity 148 x .5 = 74g CHO/h. So estimation of 75g CHO/hour would be at the upper estimated range of a low intensity ride. But given the 4+ hours duration that would seem reasonable. NB CHO means carbohydrate NOT chocolate.

2 cat type of cyclist… 1) racers/pro 2) everybody else… …2) don’t need any food for 2h bikeride. How hard it mite be. Those people like i was, soffa🥔, need that training away from food to burn fats. IntermitinFasting and 2 meals /day. Why is that (mostly)all you talk about are proracer mealtimes and eating all the time.😢 There is so much overweight people (i was that) who need good advice.😊

I think kj at Training peaks is mechanical work. There is also a kcal value that is better for Energie use(food)

Great conversation, thanks guys!💪🏽🌱⚡️

There is too much cheating in the Peloton. These interviews are pointless and old. At this point, LeMond is just whining.

Most people aren't doing intensity AND volume, and certainly not on back to back days. Glycogen has plenty of time to be replenished with a proper training schedule. How much glycogen do you need?! Maybe you could train and fuel in a way where you don't need as much glycogen?! Food for thought!

This has been one of the most informative Roadman podcasts I have ever listened to - twice! The content is pure gold IMHO even if I am only a mid field plodder (age group) ;-)

Affects!

Most of the time i change tyres when puncture from outside

I always find it very difficult to lose weight when cycling/training. Much easier to lose weight doing resistance exercise but endurance really piles on the kg's without really diligently resisting eating more.

Amazing thay they can't use anti-inflammatory, pain killers when footballers get a shot on the sidelines.. people have pain from injuries or need steroids for inflammatory injuries or need bronchodialators . Just normal meds that DONT enhance performance.

Old Cycling Omertà is that you?

What to do about not losing weight? Eat more and drink more water. Make sure you have a proper routine or workout plan. Less processed foods, mire whole foods

Trek shut him up great company to do business with lol

Lance was a huge bully

Gp5000 last me 10,000km, but I'm 60kg

What did Merckx say.... Ride a bike. Ride a bike. Ride a bike.

This chats with the pro coaches are amazing work! Tks!

Another win for zone 2 training! It doesn't make you tired (well, it does, but in a good way and helps you sleep at night). You can also eat normally and don't have to worry about fueling on the bike unless going beyond 2 hours, even then, just take a couple of bananas or stop at a cafe!

i actually enjoy that my coach doesn't prescribe the "netflix" workouts. plenty of z2 and interval days are generally just 'warm up-interval portion-cool down.' i've added 25w on my ftp in 2 years and hit 1m, 5m, and 20m PR's this year. keep it simple, stupid 😛

Il faut surtout que ces gens quittent le cyclisme car ils encouragent le dopage.

Yeah I'm always tired because I work my nuts off in the off-season for semi-serviceable cat 1/2 results. Cyclings fking hard, it's tiring as fk.

Cranks should be 20% of your inseam

Vasilis is the best ! Keep going !!

Great summary. Thanks

I really object to your outrageous presentation. Either present something objective , just don’t drag the man down because it gets you views.

Pidcock is 5'7" and Pogacar is 5'9", 650mm cranks are probably the right size for their height. I'm 6ft tall and currently using 172.5mm cranks and feel fine with them. I really think that rider size needs to be considered in this equation, more so than just 165mm cranks make you faster.
