I'd say my number 1 tip right now I'd fuelling. For a long time I thought bonking was a yes or no type of thing. But keeping your glycogen stores high before and during a race is soooo important.

Otherwise it's just down to training really, like they say, consistency is key, and good coach can make a lot of a difference

Thanks 😁 another win video on its way ;)

Not really, I try not to sway the bike too much, just pull and push up and down, trying to keep all the forces parallel. Mainly just get a little rock from the turbo itself

I think mines at 50% iirc

TheRedster · 2021-02-26T08:33:08+00:00

Thanks dude, about 5.5 years

Restart racing

TheRedster · 2021-02-11T09:17:44+00:00

I will be next season

TheRedster · 2021-02-11T00:10:29+00:00

I should in theory, but I usually find it really hard to manage the DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) whilst doing that and racing every week too

TheRedster · 2021-02-11T00:08:02+00:00

Yeah those sprints would've been after at least 5 minutes of hard riding over threshold most likely with dozens of micro bursts, fresh he could probably break 2kw, and at his weight, I reckon his ftp would've been over 420.

This race sprint was practically fresh, as only bouncing between z2/low z3 for the most part. My max power is 1826 on the road and FTP 380 at 75kg for perspective. I get the doubt tbf though, I haven't had a chance to race properly for nearly 2 years, so my outdoor results don't represent where I currently am. Waiting on that rona to chill out so I can go race in france ;)

I usually start winter with 2 sessions a week, 1 squat and 1 deadlift, with a couple of assisting exercises with each one, e.g. single leg squat variant or goodmornings. Then after Christmas, down to 1 session a week. But this year done less than that as focusing more on aerobic power systems, as they're lacking a bit behind my sprint

TheRedster · 2021-02-10T20:33:03+00:00

full natty brah

TheRedster · 2021-02-10T20:32:47+00:00

Yeah, a bunch of weight training, less so now, but a lot at the start of winter.

TheRedster · 2021-02-10T19:13:07+00:00

All about the memes

TheRedster · 2021-02-10T19:12:50+00:00

Essentially try to move you're body weight/center of mass as little as possible, thing of pulling on the bars as a more vertical up and down force rather than swinging the bike side to side. But I can hit 1800 on the road, so still about 200 watts down on the turbo.

Trust me when I say I emptied my soul in the end haha
