Low cadence work on the bike are not strength as we think or know, those sessions create & develop neuromuscular pathways which are the communication channels between the brain and the muscles. Analysed in NM of torque not watts which are hi-cadence efforts.

Parents/coaches/athletes Don’t confuse worth with performance - Identity is not based off a sporting achievement Respect your opponents - Motivation shouldn't come from hating your competition Pressure is self applied- Competition is a challenge, not a threat

Mistakes are part of the learning process - They provide information we need to adjust / improve Anything worth achieving is rarely ever easy - Practice is needed to master any sporting discipline Most importantly - Sport should be fun Don't be that parent/coach/athlete

It’s Sunday everyone. Getting some exercise is probably the most effective thing you can do today to improve your health. If you’re not fit then start with a short walk or whatever you feel comfortable doing. Most importantly just move your body. It doesn’t matter how you do it.

Points for a good taper: Reduce weekly volume by 30-50% Reduce frequency of training sessions 15-20% allowing recovery Training volume intensity should remain high. 85-90% Biggest gains occur in circulatory system where total blood volume & red blood cell count increases

3 weeks to capeepic & most of your training is done. Focusing on the specificity principal is important. Specificity focus can include where possible: Recon parts of the route Key sessions on your race bike Key sessions on correct terrain. It dictates where gains are made.

Athletes, traveling and Jetlag pointers. Adjust sleep patterns 5 days prior to departure Follow this with meal times when possible. Focus on hydration on plane Limit food intake on flight Focus should be on hygiene/sleep/good nutrition.
