Hill Climb Pacing; Use W' / FRC WISELY!!!!
https://www.evoq.bike/blog/2019/4/11/how-to-pace-a-time-trial-in-cycling
It's all about course recon, managing the surges to keep your speed high, avoid exploding, and finishing strong!
These thoughts on energy production above FTP can be applied to road racing also, and I have a new post coming soon!

Sprint Workout Day, Podcast Edition: How To Beat A Sprinter. Does PMAX Even Matter!?
Another VLOG, with some podcast extras.
In this video episode, https://youtu.be/GXmsAykqS7w, I give a quick run down of the bike (might be changing things up soon!), view some North Carolina Roads, and hit some sprints. Then, how do you beat a true sprinter, and why you shouldn't look too deeply at PMAX.
Topics Include:
Lifting weights with your ARMS for sprints.
How often are you practicing sprints?
True Base Miles on Fixed Gears?
PMAX? Not a true test of your finishing kick. Aero matters, positioning matters, and TIMING matters the most.
How do you beat a "true sprinter"?

CBD & Cycling; I'm Skeptical. Brendan dives into his journey with Hello Blue CBD Owner Matt Singley
What is Matt's history with CBD?
I was skeptical; you read up on CBD and it cures everything; how did they separate out the different product lines? Like this one: https://www.hellobluecbd.com/cbd-oil-store/joint-and-muscle-pain-advantage/
How does it relate to cyclists and athletes?
Where do you get it/sourced; is it WADA compliant?
question you get asked the most?
I share my story about my QL injury, hurt hip flexor, and CBD Pain Capsules (season saver!)
Comment below if you're going to try it (code: Brendan15) or if you still think it's snake oil. It's not, but I'd love to hear your experience!

If you watch this and decide to try the product (you're missing out if you don't try the chamoi creme!), code Brendan15 is 30% until Oct 31 2021 and includes a ton of freebies, like my favorite Pain Capsules.
