The truth a lot of pros won’t say about why they use a single front chain ring.. Most need a really large big ring to not spin out on the faster sections and ideally a not too big second front chain ring to not burn their legs out on climbs. However the front derailleur tech

Shallow training wheels are out of fashion. They shouldn't be. While it's good to get use to your race wheels in cross winds you really want to make sure you're on a safe road to relax into the side force generated movement that these deeper wheels lead to. It's not just the

A good study to remind us to not copy your favourite pro's diet and fuelling strategy before finding out more about yourself. Individual variations in glycemic responses to carbohydrates and underlying metabolic physiology. https://t.co/ipoobo3dG0 What went down? The study

PFAS-free is a big deal in semiconductors. Getting rid of “forever chemicals” seems like a clear win, right? Turns out it’s probably greenwashing: 🧵1/10

When 'super shoes' are so soft and bouncy why do many athletes experience 'quadriceps explosion syndrome' in races? Most super shoes increase stride length with the carbon plate and bouncy foam. Often there is also an increase in ground contact time. Both factors lead to a

Couple take aways from the @IRONMANtri - The depth and speed up front even when you account for the tech advances is still mind blowing. Let's say the bike and shoe tech from 15 years ago is making athletes 5% faster. That's still 8h20 ish.. which use to be winning times on

The @ausgov 's ban on social media for kids is up there with one of the more laughable laws created. Completely unenforceable, every kid is more tech savvy than members of parliament and will circumvent any attempts to restrict access in seconds. The Aussie Gov should instead

Important reminder that the optimal training dose is the one that most benefits the athlete for their current situation. Sam Appocondo Appleton nailing his 3rd IM 70.3 victory this year own an average of 18.5 hours training a week the past 9 months. Of course the 25-30 hour

Love this reply from a friend who let the local council know of the free kids sports event he put on when they fired back an endless of bureaucratic processes he needed to first do before they would consider the event... "You misunderstood my email. I'm not asking for your

Can we stop trying to make magic workouts a thing. A few notes as this goes around for the umpteenth time. The reality is: 1. You can do an infinite number of workouts that will give the same or better results, from 20sec repeats to 8+ min, and everything in between. There is
I sat down with Dr Rhonda Patrick and she shared this: The Norwegian 4x4 Protocol can reverse heart ageing by 20 years. 4 minutes intense exercise, 4 minutes recovery, repeat 4 times. In 2 years, a 50-year-old heart can look like a 30-year-old’s. Once per week is the minimum

Fellow shoe testers out there.. Have you found any relationship between the greater the vertical oscillation a shoe provides and how much the efficiency of the shoe is exaggerated by treadmill testing compared to road testing?

Race more to reach your potential. At least 10 000 hours of /training practice AND at least 100+ races completed before you will see your potential. (Opinion not fact 🤪) https://t.co/rk2FwZIqfd

Gravel bikes still remain up there with the dumbest bike you could buy. Use a hard tail MTB with skinnier tyres on rough gravel. Use an accommodating road bike with wide tyres on smooth gravel. Gravel bikes are just a super heavy and clunky road bike or a super uncomfortable

As we once again scratch our heads at the strange new rules the UCI is implementing despite showing any evidence to support the rules. Rules which include minimum handlebar width limits, tyre width limits and gearing restrictions. Let's not forget that the same brands who are
