I think this is where good relationship with athletes can help a lot. Also them understanding that the bad days are also a part of the process. But yeah a lot of athletes are still afraid you are going to tell them to take a day off. Its like taking a drug from a drug addict!

The big picture!

My Observation: When an athlete can sustain more than 300 watts for a 20-minute period, it is likely they are under-fueled for most of their intense training sessions. Many athletes fail to adjust their nutrition to match their improvements in power output. I've observed

This is probably where most of athlete fail with nutrition! Thanks Blaž Grmek for great graphics.

How Heat Affects Our Performance Comparison of PD Curve for a female cyclist who participated in the Tour de l'Avenir Femmes and the Tour Cycliste Féminin International de l'Ardèche this year. The races took place over the span of two weeks. Note about the power: This is a

Asymmetry! Question for all who might have any insight. Got this athlete where I noticed that once he goes above LT1 his power balance shatters. Up to around 240-250w there is basically no difference in power but above that and especially above LT2 we have a difference of

I would say textbook example!

Thanks for putting this together 👏

Kasia really giving it all to keep the yellow. Go go go go 🙌 #TDFF2024

Some nice figures! Good to have some insight in what kind of data you are getting when testing! Also shows nicely we should be careful with using absolute values for determining "parameters".

Great point!

This!!

This one is for you Jem Arnold :D Gonna try to use your NIRS screening test again if we get the option! around CP in steady state we have 30-35w differences (20-25% R/L).

Why are some nutritionists pushing 120-140g/h of CHO in some women’s WorldTour teams while their pre race meal barely comes to 50g of carbs 🫣 I know there is a need to bring something “revolutionary” to the team to feel some selfworth. But shit we suck at basics.

Jem Arnold Simon Cirnski Greg Lehman Because lactate and H+ are co-transported from the muscle. By buffering H+ in the blood, you decrease H+ concentration and increase concentration gradient (blood-muscle) resulting in higher efflux of lactate (and H+) from the muscle into the bloodstream.

Jezus fuck. Two races in the last week for some of our cyclist and I guess that basic nutrition is like quantum physics to some teams/staff. Nutrition on the day prior race for one team: - Breakfast ( by each athlete at home - went ok) - Full day in the van driving to the race

Dauphiné TT pacing: see below from a rider. Steady until the climb, then hit it hard and hang on. But using current variations to plan W'bal pacing can quite far off particularly for TT’s # #Cycling #TimeTrial #Dauphine
