Top!! From 185 w for 82 kilos 18 months ago to 300 for 74 kilos yesterday (in a climb near Alcobaça Portugal !!) I am super happy too!! Great job buddy !!!
Great episode Thomas, consistency is key…..I’m currently recovering from hip replacement surgery so off the bike completely obviously, but your videos, and particularly ones like this keep me motivated for when I’m back on the bike…thank you. Ben

Love how you casually drop those bmx tricks! 🙌🙌 Think there’s definitely something in long(ish) dog walks during rest days. Got a Patterdale Terrier back in March (and combined with cycling 4-5 times a week), walking him everyday has made a massive difference to my FTP / weight loss / muscle gain. He also helps to ensure my sessions are (mostly) structured and sensible too - if I’m too knackered to walk him, he gives me hell 😂
