Cheers Kelvin, thank you for the kind words

[@Jesse-bb4qj]

I actually find most farts slow me down as I have to wait a second and make sure it's gas and not 💩😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@roadcyclingacademy]

haha

[@edsapple]

I get GAS on gels always helps my forward propulsion

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Haha I get it on IPA’s. Cam

@@roadcyclingacademy ps love the content !

[@jamespham888]

Words of appreciation from a beginner cyclist wanting to get better. Love your videos Subscribed 🍻Cam

[@jamespham888]

Also for the beginners out there, could there be a video of the time frame a cyclist reaches from 15km avg to 35km avg speed In terms of months / years etc I reckon not only myself but a lot out there would wonder when they will reach the next level and how long it would take. Also how much effort is required etc. It’s winter in melb so I’m only able to do 2 outdoor rides a week, one being 50km and the other being 25km.

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Not sure how I could make such content James, as there's too many variables. I would focus on zone training rather than average speed. Speed will inadvertently get better by focusing on zones.

[@jamespham888]

@@roadcyclingacademy Well advised Cam 🍻 for your advice

[@christianemeiners9224]

Great info, Cam! Always great to be reminded of those principles :-)

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Cheers Chrissi, Cam

I'm a very heavy rider to avoid the local steep gradients. Last month I decided to throw in my local big climb a couple of times a week. Boy was I in the alarm phase for them > 600w at 13% just keep moving forward at a walking speed. I've realised though using a much lower cadence than I'm used to, c. 45-40rpm actually helps a lot. Good to know what's going on behind the scenes.

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Interesting to hear Andy. That is a serious climb. Keep it smart and you’ll be powering up there with ease after a few months.

[@smccarthy1975]

Brilliant video , top advice , thanks very much

[@saddleweary9709]

GAS holds me back. Getting my Ass Started :D. I wander if learning to ride a unicycle would help shock those hidden muscles.

[@jean-paulchaudron3104]

Great info Cam. Always good to hear it from a pro's perspective. I used to be one of those where every ride should be a hard one....until fatigue kicked in. Learned the hard way.

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Cheers Jean, although not a pro! Just an eager amateur turned coach! All the best with the training, Cam

[@chrisvanbuggenum871]

Yeah, I'm doing a TR plan and even on the smallest workload they allow, I'm still doing a hard workout both monday and Tuesday. I get wednesday off then a harder one Thursday and get Friday off and then i ride with mates Saturday. I'd actually prefer to ride every second day but its not practical.

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Interesting to hear, thanks for sharing on the thread Chris.

[@BikeLife154]

I was hoping it was gonna be GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome not actual work!

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Haha

[@mathewrose2951]

We all have Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

[@hisdadjames4876]

I was hoping it was Good And Slow!

[@davidtyler5129]

Spot on Cam as usual. Thanks mate 🤙

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Cheers David. Cam

[@piotrcichy7316]

Great tips as always. Love the videos!

Cheers Piotr 👍

[@gavinbutler1109]

Great content again Cam

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Cheers Gavin.

[@stelladavis7443]

Very informative for a newly taking it more seriously cyclist 😅

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Cheers Stella and good luck with the training

[@pavlos..]

These videos could be used by anyone to understand how to present and convey information on any topic. Compared to watching the daily COVID update presentation in NSW, these are chalk and cheese. So clear and no 'umms and ahhs'

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Thank you Paolo 👍

[@18481nivek]

Thank you!

[@roadcyclingacademy]

No worries Kevin. Cheers, Cam

Thank you mate. Cam

[@Terrierized]

Thanks from a regular/amateur

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Cheers mate.

[@L333ENG]

7 thumbs down? I think if you’re going to leave a thumbs down it should make you leave a constructive comment as to why… At least the O.P. Could respond then. I think the content is pretty good myself.

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Thanks Lee, it's impossible to please everyone, and theres simply too much sensitivity in the world right now! Cam

[@sidasdf]

Hey cam - relatively new to structured training and feeling that soreness you described at 1:48. How should I be reacting to this? Planned a real easy recovery day into my plan the day after this long ride but was still sore going into my workout the next day. Very sore/tired after workout (which didn't go great) and so now decided to listen to the body and take a day off. Should I even have done my planned workout still feeling sore? When should I get back to training? Thanks mate.

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Listening to body is best. There are times to train on sore and fatigued legs but mostly not needed for recreational and amateur cyclists. I would be shining a light on the workout that made you sore. Did you overdo it compared to your previous training rides? Perhaps some learnings there for future big sessions. You want to slowly build into them.

[@ryandorris7144]

Ace, Mate

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Cheers Ryan.

[@nicholasbell563]

can you do anther video on box altitude sleep cloud tents

[@roadcyclingacademy]

Yes, but I need to be committed to training for that one Nicholas! Once someone buys the RCA and I have some spare time I'll be right up for it.

[@TimpBizkit]

Become a stronger cyclist with GAS, 2 STROKE OIL, AND AN ENGINE KIT FROM EBAY
