(17:46) Is the move by Ironman to ‘split the IMWC’ a money grab, or is it a legitimate good move for the athletes? (29:00) Technical trails should not be ‘made safe’ even if they are dangerous.  (34:06) After watching Call of a Lifetime, gravel racers need to care less about tradition and maintaining a pleasant emotional balance and more about winning. (40:32) The whole “scrape mud” thing with your pedal stroke is unnecessary. Pedal how you pedal. (42:28) Your bike fit shouldn't look like the pros.  (48:53) It's ok for your saddle to not be aligned center if it's for an imbalance.  (51:13) Gravel is not more inclusive because of the barriers to entry.   (57:56) Elevation training on the weekends improves aerobic capacity.   (1:00:26) Why do I get DOMS from endurance workouts, but not threshold and VO2? (1:02:23) 100 push ups a day is sufficient strength training for cyclists. (1:03:39) Fueling with carbs for an early morning 1hr workout is overrated.

(1:18:20) Athletes with executive function difficulties (adhd) need more sugar and caffeine during workouts because the dopamine hit helps them stay engaged during workouts.  (1:24:21) Aero road frames make no difference in real world group riding (1:24:35) We are paying too much for chamois cream.   (1:27:25) Naps should get more hype than ice baths for recovery. (1:33:41) Bikes are too heavy now (1:39:39) Training your 10min power is more important than training your sprint for crit racing. (1:46:09) Hard training weakens my immune system. (more of a theory really) (1:52:18) Cyclocross is the most exciting version of cycling at the moment, change my mind.    RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: trainerroad.cc/3XxFVln    Watch our latest Cycling Science Explained video now! https://youtu.be/k3IIJqNxNMo    Subscribe to the Science of Getting Faster Podcast below!
