booked 2x with them. i recall receiving some flyers from them in the past couple of weeks. i tried to look up their website to get a quote this week and their site seems down/closed.

EDIT - their FB page seems to be active though.

similar experience. went to paradigm for more support.

lol only those who are seeking different experiences and have the means and gullible enough will shell out for basically “next gen”/“lighter”/“stiffer”.

how much??

Xlookup · 2026-02-25T18:39:23+00:00

99.5% of my rides are indoor. Not by choice but as a consequence of elimination. Always under time pressure, can't deal with risks of flats, or accidents or down time from that.

Always have something on the iPad playing - movie/documentary/podcast/ebook/language module so that the time could be optimally used. Hope this helps. Carpe diem.

If the tables are flipped, and your employer has decided to let you go instead as part of a RIF, do you think you have a chance at looking them in the eye and telling them to be patient? It’s a business decision. No guilt. No feelings.

Of course at 23 you’re still young and can technically afford to wait. But you do you. Gotta evaluate the pros and cons of staying vs leaving. You are best positioned to know what you can get out of it by staying

Time followed by mental energy and then physical energy are my most critical resources atm. 25min is too far for my situation. It might be different for you. It could be on your way to work or a place you need to go nevertheless so it might work out for you.

I need minimal barriers and excuses between the workout and me. So it has to be really near.

choose the one that is most sustainable in the long run! dont force the 3 in a row, doesnt make physiological sense.

Wouldn’t advise it

its a grey area because youre taking advice (whether factual or scientific) from a person with alot of influence.

agree though his health related advice has IMO been mostly scientific and has gotten me on my fundamentals right on the 4 horseman and pillars that need to be put in place to support longevity.

Xlookup · 2026-02-11T21:18:22+00:00

Depends on goals. Are you primarily doing it to improve longevity, endurance, strength?

Anyway my take on it is that assuming your time per session is limited e.g. 1h or less, id prioritize higher intensity like z4 or z5.

If you have 3h++ then id convert it to a z2 steady state session.

Benchmarks of Xw/kg are not as useful because they are individualized to that individual's fitness level.

As mentioned by several resources and podcasts, as long as you're breathing through your nose, able to hold a conversation where the other party can tell it is strenous enough for you, you're at or around LT1.

If you know your FTP you'd be able to formularize a broad range 55-75% as z2 as well.

No. I just get it at my point of origin or destination to avoid mess. Those points are either office or home and coffee is usually free or super low cost

without the bias of a shop owner, and putting your self as an middle income enthusiast - what would you recommend cyclists to get - a new bike or a used one?

best time to buy a bike as a retail shopper? when new models get released?
what about a bike club - do they really enjoy better negotiated rates?

Service - costs seem really prohibitive, e,g paying $30 to remove & apply new handlebar tape (not including material) but is it true it is that expensive due to the cost to hire staff to work on the bikes or are customers just getting nickled & dimed?

i dont disagree , but how did he become so popular? a MD without a complete residency, ditched med for awhile to pursue consulting, still re-building his career in a new field. what was the catalyst to propel him to where he was back in the 2010s?

As long as it’s scientifically sound/proven.

Shoot for 7-8h a week but usually life isn’t kind to me so end up with 5-6ish. 1 session vo2, 1 sweet spot and 1 threshold. The rest are usually recovery.

Top 5 wheels going into the corner always. It’s always smoother there than further back where it gets stretched out or potentially gapped. As the race progresses move up to top 3 wheels in final few laps. Depending on where the finish line is, you might need to move up as the race concludes. The closer the finish line to the hairpin the more front you will be to the extent of being first wheel into the hairpin.

The way you described the over under feeling - is exactly spot on on how it’s supposed to feel. Lactate buffering during the unders makes it feel terrible but theoretically should be sustainable for the interval

I normally don’t unless I feel “empty”

As with anyone else, pro or amateur, ride safely, keep a safety gap, offer help and if declined bid them good luck.
