BikeRadio: Capital Region Road Race, North Winds Gravel
In this episode, I'd like to recap some tips from North Winds Gravel Race in Rodman, NY, as well as the P/1/2 New York State Road Championship, at Capital Region.
Also, to start, I've had a bunch of questions after my video on Amateur Nationals...was it just a bad day? Why was I riding so much in France? It didn't seem like I was doing intervals... Well, the past 8 months has had some personal things going on that I'll quickly mention to add more color to what has been happening, especially for those who follow my training and were wondering "What the hell is this guy doing!?" Anywho, feels great to be back to REAL TRAINING AND RACING.

Ketones and Legal EPO, Cycling Recovery!
DeltaG’s Brian McMahon and I chat about the recent advances in understanding how Ketones can increase your EPO and make you faster. We cover recent studies published using DeltaG, why you may want to try ketones to make you faster, and the use of Ketones in the TOUR DE FRANCE.
You can find Brian and DeltaG at:

Studies mentioned in this video:
Ketones & EPO Study: https://researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/publications/ketone-monoester-ingestion-increases-post-exercise-serum-erythrop
Exogenous ketones and EPO Study 2: https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP284346
Summary of these studies.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of ketone monoester ingestion on postexercise erythropoietin (EPO) concentrations. Why Is EPO Important? EPO is required for red blood cell production. EPO is the primary regulator for production of red blood cells that transport oxygen in the circulation from the lungs to the tissues. Athletes ingested equivalent to 1/2 to 3/4 a bottle 1h and 2h post-exercise with a carb/protein mix, and blood samples were taken 7 times over 4 hours. In conclusion, ketone monoester ingestion increases postexercise erythropoietin concentrations, revealing a new avenue for orally ingestible ketone monoesters to potentially alter hemoglobin mass.

02:05 DeltaG and Ketone uses

09:29 How does the timing matter on taking ketones?
12:58 How does taking ketones alter blood glucose levels?

Hill Climb/KOM Cycling Training: Anaerobic vs Aerobic Power, Course Gradients, Pacing, Training Plan
In order to find success in hill climbs, we need both aerobic and anaerobic power. The training needs will differ athlete to athlete, but also based on what the COURSE demands (a 3m Hill Climb or KOM should be ridden differently than a 10 minute Hill Climb or KOM).
I hope this video helps parse this out. Shill: If you do need help, I'd recommend you look at the VO2Max link below, and the Over Unders. For anaerobic training, check out the free blog; the workouts are listed there.
00:00 Intro
