Global Triathlon Network bike fitting and never let your fuel levels deplete.

[@follystone]

Global Triathlon Network Best cycling advice I received was "Cadence is King". Know what cadence works for you in different conditions, monitor it frequently during all training rides & turbo-sessions until it becomes completely instinctive. I would even suggest forgetting about speed, HR & power data until you've got cadence sussed.

[@jonathanlinnarsson495]

Hands down the complete bike fit!

[@wonglemydongle867]

Try to switch out of the big ring on climbs.....

[@jmkmckenny]

hands down never let your cadence below 90rpm when your cadence is over 100 rpm it doesn't feel like you are pushing on your pedals it feels more like your feet spinning around are applying pressure and not your quads

[@Sprinklesofjoy]

Best tip I've used: writing "shut up legs" on my stem

[@marcleber3702]

"we may not all have pro gear", he says while riding an $11,000 P5X....

[@derekabbotts]

and $4,000 Zipp Wheels :)

[@jamesbearpark3794]

Can you please do more videos about tackling Olympic and Sprint distance Triathlons because that's the distances most people start out with. You keep referencing Ironman distances which isn't that helpful for a large number of triathlete. Thanks

[@61tree_Studio]

You guys are pro at speaking while exercising...I think you have GCN beat in that department.

[@haxhxm841]

3Daddicted I mean it's called a (tri)athlon I think they do both well track record proof that. there r some things different in each aspect of every different type of sport

[@Pienimusta]

Most important thing must be either manual or bunny hop if you ask from guys at GMBN ;D

[@ZeroSeriesMMX]

In TT/tri bikes? Ouch. xD Now I have a mental image of Lasty trying exactly this, on the Canyon he used in the TdF Stage 1 preview on GCN, and Heather holding up warning signs -- and possibly having good laughs enough to add to a bloopers reel (subject: vital technique, *maybe* wrong bike).

[@Pienimusta]

Martyn Ashton would be doing front and backflips on a TT bike =P

[@th_js]

Päivää👋

[@cindycindy4536]

works great in my shop and on road trips in my RV

[@R3dR1der70]

That GTN kit is awesome!

[@mustaphab.1190]

Does anybody know which bike is it @4:10 the black bike seen from behind? 🤩🤩

[@00goop27]

Taylor Phinney is my hero. He doesn't ride with a power meter, according to his interview on GCN. I just can't afford one.

[@matthewbriggs2805]

Its a bit off topic, but how are you supposed to adapt to the temperature in sea swimming?

[@derekabbotts]

3:57 - "pros make this look quite casual...." Sebi does a perfect flying dismount while Sanders.... hasn't quite perfected that move

[@erikbarone8184]

Do you guys think you could do a piece on how to get your road bike as close to a tri bike Set up as possible?

[@edgarasmalachovskis4054]

great tips, but can you add some cycling workouts for TT racing ?

[@nathanambriz3212]

What kind of shades are those Heather?

[@jerryagnasinii3640]

hey @Global Triathlon Network! Which is better being Spinner or Masher? and what's the ideal maintaing RPM? Thanks in Advance!

[@beyond990]

i notice that you guys are using Polar v800 and cycle computers, which power meter do you use with the bike computer?

[@na-dk9vm]

Hi guys, Need help badly. New to cycling. 6 months training, but there are some weeks I can't get training due to life and other commitments. Did my first triathlon a few Weeks ago, Olympic distance. I've a big problem where by 30kms in, I'm feeling completly out of energy. Legs have no energy, and I feel like I'd love to slump onto the handlebars. It's not that I'm going too fast ( I'm reaching 20kmh in distance) Today, this happened at around the 28- 30km mark. For breakfast, I had a big bowl of porridge with a banana thrown into it. Also before that, I had two small pancakes, with butter and jam. While on the bike, I had water with orange juice through it. Why am I hitting the wall so early?? Its not that I'm underfuelled, I'm not dehydrated either. I'm 6ft 2 @ 100kg, so I know my weight right now isn't ideal for cycling, but surely I shouldn't be bonking this soon. Any advice or tips ??

[@jjmorin2392]

Are disc brakes legal in triathlon?

[@louisg4911]

Is that in formentor, Mallorca??

[@Fivegunner]

Is it bad if one is riding most of the time in TT position?

[@loray012995]

How much does it weigh?????

[@haxhxm841]

Like what the guys at gcn say, u gotta enjoy it before going further into it

[@yoraishapira3441]

You forgot the best pro tip, have a nice set of deep carbon wheels and an aero helmet, if you want to ride like a pro you must look like one

[@ZeroSeriesMMX]

Tri bike dismounts are great when done in one swift, fluid motion. Though, that and cyclocross dismounts share the same thing, except you don't carry your bike with you. What if triathletes were made to carry their bikes while dashing on the run section? :D ~wink wink~

[@adzzz9718]

'we might not all have pro kit' .... as he stands there with his £12,000 bike hahaha

[@user-hc6hu1yw7l]

nice sunglasses Heather

[@nathanambriz3212]

Bremu Studio what kind are they?

[@MrBickle83]

What is a "simple, 20 min FTP test"?

[@Bossie21]

Greatest advice: do a test so you can train on hartrate, after it i became way better

[@R3dR1der70]

Best advice? Smooth is fast

[@the23rdshadowdragon]

Is there something wrong with heathers position? She just doesn't look good on the bike. . .

[@travischapman6763]

I thought triathletes didn't ride up hills?

[@sharkdom]

Anyone not doing a flying dismount should be immediately DQed at T2. It takes about 5 minutes to learn. There are simply no excuses!

[@ivorbrae]

Practiced it; went to implement it in a race; didn't account for the higher tax on my body and the jelly legs saw me crumple pathetically into the pavement.

[@immerchriswell7924]

sharkdom anyone not running a sub 40 minute 10k should be dq'ed honestly WHAT EXCUSE DO YOU HAVE

[@sharkdom]

Looks like someone needs to work on their dismounts then....
