Does One Month Of Training Really Make A Difference?

Cillian is our resident stat nerd, and whilst he's been very fit before, his love of stats has gotten in the way of his riding! That is until now, as we'd signed him up to the Zwift Academy, to see if he can bring back any of the form of his younger self, but just how much difference does a month of training make?

How did you think Cillian would get on? Let us know below!👇

[@pipolchamp8205]

here is a video idea, take Freddie with the wahoo program vs. cillian in zwift one, let them train for 3mos., require them a specific 22 B.M.I. (or anything realistic to reduce variables), same bike model, then let them race in different terrains/courses 😂😂😂

[@kramrenrut950]

Sending out the email kom 😊

[@mec1]

Was that sign language at the start?! I wasn't sure if Cillian was actually a bit too expressive with his gestures. However, on further thought, I decided he's grand.

[@klnsmn]

Cillian may double as a stat nerd, but he makes for a terrific presenter as well. More of him please!

Thanks Matt! So glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼

[@cilliankelly1]

Thanks so much to everyone who’s left a comment on this video. It’s been quite overwhelming to get so much feedback indicating that I might not actually be shite at this presentery stuff. (Although I’ve a feeling just seeing somebody new doing it might be tricking people into thinking they don’t hate me. Similar to a new manager bounce for football teams, before the new manager gets sacked after a few months anyway) But nevertheless, I’m so glad a lot of you enjoyed the video. Maybe it won’t be the last time they let me out of the nerd basement. I’m just about to get on the bike in the attic again now. So I might see you on Zwift if anyone is doing the same this evening! Thanks everyone. Cillian

@@gcn yes! This afternoon I will do my four mile square road workout on my Salsa Marakesh touring gravel bike then do our two mile rocky canal trail to compare off road vs on road. On Saturday I will do the same thing on my Surly Pugsly fat tire bike, then post to the GCN app with the results. My hypothesis is that my average comfortable speed on the rocky canal trail will be half of my average comfortable speed on the road for the gravel bike and fat tire bike. My other hypothesis is the gravel bike will be 20% faster on the road then the fat tire bike, but the same on the rocky canal trail.

Idea for a series: “Cillian versus…”. SO many videos of super fit, super slim athletes bouncing up iconic climbs. But it’d be great to see a series with GCN’s amazing videography of the UK and Europe’s greatest climbs with tips as to where to stay, how to plan a route to include them BUT, from the rider’s perspective, to hear what a “normal” rider like Cillian thinks of how tough they are.

[@cilliankelly1]

I’ll do that if they let me!!

[@rachelharvey71]

This is fantastic content Cillian has put in an inspirational effort this year with the e’tape and now the academy. What a fantastic achievement he is a joy to watch so unassuming and modest, love his face when he confirms the KOM more Cillian please?

Wow really appreciate that Rachel. Thanks so much. So glad you enjoyed the video.

Cillian, you’re a great asset to GCN. You’ve got us covered with stats AND you you showed us “normal” (i.e., non-pro, non-ex-pro, non-amateur) what just a little bit of structured training can do. Chapeau, Cillian! Ride on, good man!

Great to see Cillian presenting, he's a natural. I really enjoyed the enthusiasm, it's infectious. I'm ramping up my Zwift training and see if I can beat some of my 10 year old records and prep for the Tourmalet in June. I was losing the motivation I bit ( 61 year old body not playing ball). It's good to have a goal.

[@geoffreyhoney122]

Well done Cillian! Your transformation is astounding! Hats off to you for seeing it through! Loved watching you take this on and loved the concept of beating former iterations of yourself! Enjoy those well earned pints mate, but KEEP RIDING!!

[@codypate9045]

Awwww! That was sooo much fun and exciting watching Cillian put everything into these climbs. Breaking KOM’s and PR’s either way it was inspiring.

[@chrisridesbicycles]

@@cilliankelly1 20+ years and 10kg less vs. having a coach, training 6 times a week and doing 3x the miles. It will be interesting.

[@nobbycycles]

I'm a huge fan of all the vids Cillian has done (inspired an overweight 50 year old with a metal back to enter the Etape) but this one left me with more questions than answers. The leap in performance in such a short period of time is all attributed to 8 structured training workouts on zwift. No mention of nutrition or recovery or any other riding - just the magic of 8 zwift rides. In the same week we have the vid from ollie (great vid) detailing all the long term changes he made & used zwift for structured training over a long period of time. Seeing Cillian achieve the KOM & PR's was fantastic & watching him is infectious- but the vid just felt like a zwift advert

[@cilliankelly1]

Hi Noel, thanks for the message and thanks for watching Zero to Hero. Fantastic that you've signed up for the Etape next year. Best of luck with it. It was pretty much the only riding I did during that month was the 8 Zwift Academy sessions. I've just checked there and I did three Zwift races during that time as well as one short recce ride outside where I did that Cobh Harbour Hairpins climb (when I still thought I was going to be in the national hill climb championships). I didn't change anything with my nutrition - if anything it was worse during the month because it was my birthday and Halloween which meant sweets in the house and a couple of indulgent dinners out. I think the big gains can be attributed to a couple of other things rather than 'just' the 8 training sessions. Knowing the climbs better and knowing where and when to change gear to maintain a high power output was something I was aware of this time, which I was certainly not aware of 10 years ago. For instance, I had a power meter on my bike this time. I didn't 10 years ago. But I also think what Zwift in general has taught me over the past couple of months is that when I think I've emptied the tank and I can't keep going ... I actually can. So perhaps it's not *only* a gain in fitness, but an increased understanding of how hard I can actually push myself with the fitness that I've already got.

[@nobbycycles]

@@cilliankelly1 that's a brilliant response - you are bang on about power meters - that knowledge of what you can do when your legs are trying to convince you that you can't is really valuable at that moment that the vomit is just starting to rise. I think I should have indulged in some more Halloween sweets by the sound of it 🤣🤣 Looking forward to the Etape now the route is out - though the Col de Joux Plane as the finale is going to be a proper test on the day Look forward to whatever daft thing they get you to do next - you are turning into Hank 2.0 🤣🤣🤣🤣 They obviously figured out they couldn't kill Hank whatever they tried and came up with a new plan 😉

put some respect on Dr Bridgewood, since the Great Dropping his Strava numbers are impressive. Using his fancy sports science PhD on himself

[@cilliankelly1]

Well, he may not be the only GCN test dummy with a science PhD… 👀

[@zalethciano]

Congrats, that was amazing!

[@markwithers7730]

Excellent work, it shows what structured training can do!

[@cilliankelly1]

Genuinely surprised myself!

[@rhobson]

That is a wholesome content that hits right home. As much as I love bikes, I don't have disposable income to shell out 4 digits into a bike, much less spend hours upon hours each week on top of it. Cillian actually motivated me to take the spiderwebs off of an old mountain bike and trainer set that I used when the weather wasn't good enough to go out!

[@cilliankelly1]

Great to hear Rhobson! You should definitely dig out the trainer. You won't regret it!

[@jimcappa6815]

Outstanding effort, Ciilian! Stay with it!

[@cilliankelly1]

Thanks Jim!

[@jasondavies1840]

What a great video! Cillian is a natural and someone I can relate much more to than the other cycling sticks. One of GCNs bests, chapeau

[@cilliankelly1]

Thanks a lot Jason! Really appreciate it. Do you do any Zwifting too?

[@jasondavies1840]

@@cilliankelly1 hi Cillian, no problem, I've enjoyed your stat attacks for awhile and thought the GCN+ doc was just class. I've signed back up to zwift this month after pausing the subscription for the summer. So will be trying the academy sessions imminently 👍

[@TexasWahoo_]

I couldn't be happier for you, Cillian! You should be proud. Now stay off that couch!

[@cilliankelly1]

Haha! Easier said than done! But yeah, big plans to stay (relatively) fit now over Christmas

[@jessejamesv]

Yeah, Cillian's really a great presenter. Charismatic guy, while seeming pretty authentic.

[@cilliankelly1]

Thanks Jesse!

[@brew-j]

Excellent well done! Top video 🎉

I did the 7-week zero to hero program last spring, and it actually blew me away how much I improved. That was wild. Thanks for the inspiration, Mr. Dunne.

[@cilliankelly1]

Great stuff Jeff! Well done!
