I feel like the coaching thing is an accelerator. You can get vaguely in the right direction over time, via trial and error. A coach is basically a shortcut to the best way (still will require trial and error), for a fee. E.g. I've found what works for me over 3 years of training, numbers, data, listening to my body and understanding signals etc. But I'm sure with a coach it might have only taken 1 year or something like that. For me personally, I've enjoyed the process this way around

it also depends on what your goals are

Thanks for good advicing! Two important issues that I was not aware of is to avoid big weeks, and to have big dinners the day before a big ride. I never thought of the dinner the day before, always did the fueling with big breakfast immidiately before the long ride.

Carbo loading the day before will make a lot of difference, and give you that inner strength! Bread, pasta or rice!

Hello, great info on the podcasts! Can you help me? I am 68 years old, male, now I living in Puglia,Southern Italy. In my previous life I was a time trialist in the UK from the age of 17 until I broke my neck in an accident with a pedestrian in 2015! 21.48 - 10 miles, 55.51 - 25miles , 1.55.00 for 50 miles. Last year, October, I had a large tumor removed from my colon. Now recovered and for the last 5 months I have been doing 1000km per month at level 1, 2 and 3. I have just this week had another operation to repair a hernia! I find I have no top end speed when I ride with mates, and cant climb hills, 85kg! Should I do some intervals on the turbo once a week? Will this improve my speed as well as loose some kilo's?

Love the podcast but want to correct you on your comments about Canyon and getting parts. I have three Canyons and have had nothing but amazing service from them and have often been sent bolts, parts etc from them often within a week and in most cases not charged for these parts. If you get on their chat and explain what you need they will be very quick at sorting you out. The margins shops make on bikes these days is very small and they should be very accommodating when it comes to service, no matter what bike you bring in as this is where their margin is highest.

Stimulus vs. adaptation for the coaching with planning meals according to the workout schedule would be a great podcast.

In the case of pro's closet, maybe the scenario is a pro, treating the inventory of the site as their closet. In other words, by shopping there you *are* the pro. 😅 Edit: Interestingly, their website refers to themselves as TPC, and you have to go to e.g. Strava to find it spelled out with the apostrophe. Of course, the url doesn't have it.

Do bike shops really make that much money off of bike sales, and are they actually selling that many bikes? I imagine for most bike shops, the bulk of the business is still from servicing, and various smaller retail sales. Yes, shops are losing a bike sale when folks buy from Canyon, but I imagine majority of the bikes being serviced at any given shop is likely not bought from that same shop. I totally get why some shops wouldn't want to work on Canyons and other direct to consumer bikes, but it also seems like bad business in the long run.

@johnpeters8880 2 ай бұрын

Bike shops don’t make a large profit on bike sales. They have lots of overheads to cover, rent, property taxes, utilities and staff costs. Canyon and the like save on these costs

@Bruce_Chang 2 ай бұрын

@@johnpeters8880 Yup all that is true. I was more commenting on how bike shops not servicing canyon bikes doesn't make much sense to me. They'll do work on bikes that are sold from other bike shops, so it seems odd to turn away and alienate customers who have canyon bikes, when they could make them return customers.

Be super careful buying Canyon....bought CFR Ultimate Alpecin team bike in size recommended. Integrated cockpit stem lenght supplied way too short. Asked to order a new cockpit (600e which I was prepared to purchase - unique to Canyon CP0018). Told it "maybe available in Dec 24" but can't order it. 11000e bike that can't be ridden. Was told I could sell the bike as an alternative solution. So disappointing.

I would say a good place to start before ordering a Canyon is check with your bike fitter first. I’ve got two Canyons. Previous model Ultimate and current model Endurace. Before I ordered both I looked at the sizing in site - could decide if I was an M or L as there’s a bit of overlap. I then asked my bike fitter (who uses the Retül system). He compared the full geometry to my last Retül fit and on both occasions, for my fit, he moved me to the larger size because he knew that it was going to be fit to customise for me. Sure it’s not easy with Canyon to swap out the integrated bars but getting the size right for the top tube will solve much of your stem sizing then you deal with the rest of your fit from there with saddle set back and height etc. These two bikes fit me perfectly so guess what, next time I need a new bike I follow the same process and no doubt get a Canyon again as they’ve been so great

Buy a TT bike? First, get clipped on aero bars. Ride them for a while to see if you are comfortable with the position and handling.

@erlendsteren9466 2 ай бұрын

I like your advice, the speed of a TT sounds fun, but maybe sitting in TT position is more pain than fun?

Just a side comment on buying a Canyon online vs. buying a bike from the LBS, I want to support the LBS but there is never anything in my price range. They mainly seem to stock $700 bikes or $2500+ bike (USD) and nothing in between, which is where my budget falls. I love my Canyon, and they offer a good amount in that in between price zone. I guess I can only support my LBS by having them service my bikes bought online

Big mistake I see a lot of endurance athletes do… blasting so much carbs while their stores are 60-70% full. You are not a bodybuilder with tons of muscles who can store more than 1000gr carbs or highly doubt that you ride 80% of the time in a threshold

@richardmiddleton7770 2 ай бұрын

Indeed. Also, most of your riding should be easy so that's another reason not to need so many carbs. To me, the more advanced you are the less carbs you need, which is the opposite to what people will tell you! They will say that the higher your FTP the more carbs you'll need, but the higher your FTP, the higher your TL1 will be, which means you're burning a higher percentage of fat at higher power numbers.
