Best Workouts to Improve Pedal Stroke

[@GummeeH3]

Best way to develop a smooth, efficient pedal stroke? Race track. Next best? Ride fixed on the road with a small gear. AMHIK

I use what ever cadence feels best at the time. It has worked just fine for for more than 30000 Miles of riding the last 14 years.

Um sorry.. At 35mins single sided pedalling no good, power cranks no good. Why?? After all of illustrations of the oclock muscles positions in the previous podcast this podcast hast has turned into a box of cornflakes! Why is it bad ?? Why would using them cause more problems ? My 30 plus years of experience could commentate some possible problems but im not the one podcasting !! Wheres the meaningful content !!! Oh , “thats probably why they didn’t take off “ Not really saying much !

Unfortunately, this episode does not contain almost any information about improving pedal stroke (and exerciseses). It is almost entirely about cadence.

Spinning pedals at cadence is an exercise, and actually very tough exercise if you spin high gear as fast as you can.

[@razorree]

but what's the 'proper' cadence? why do you need to train higher cadence ? (and where is the limit?) I've just checked my threshold intervals (100-105%FTP), I do them at 85-90RPM (avg from 5-10 mins), with 170mm crankarms and 84cm legs (181cm height). can be lower (~80RPM when i'm really tired and I have to hammer standing, or of course i don't have proper gearing for a climb)

How is this pedal pattern affected if u are using elliptical chainrings? Or does that make no difference? BTW , I had the pleasure of riding with Charlie on two occasions of the ESR.

Enjoyed so much your podcast , thank you for sharing your knowledge!!! You guys are a great Duo !! Charlie bring experience and concepts that we can apply to our daily rides and coach Adam keep informing how to perform better and efficient way also!!!!

For me low cadence work helps me get used to the gear that I’d like to achieve in the future.
