I can’t claim to have invented the Drive n’ Ride, though I think I can claim perfecting it! In my hour record prep I decided I wanted to just do a ton of threshold work, I also figured if I could cut down the volume of endurance then I could do more time at AT, […]
I had a revelation about 2 years ago, I have read endless books and articles on training over the years. I really enjoy the technology, theories, equipment and the process of testing it all out on myself. Power meters changed my training for ever, perfect tool for me. If I can measure my fitness, induce […]
Got 2 weeks of my endurance work on the track done, basically some variation of 3 x 30 minutes or 4 x 20 minutes right below record pace. Pretty boring work really, just putting in the steady work and letting the body adapt to the position and stretch out a bit more aerobic endurance. Now […]
Back on the track, pretty torn up and sore from the crash 2 days ago, but am able to get on with it. 3 x 30m @ 43-46 kph in training gear (no aero helmet/wheels etc). A struggle to hold my aero bar correct with my oozing forearm shred, but this is not supposed to […]
Yikes, I can say that I have still not recovered from my hour record (test, but hey still an hour record for me right?). 1 day of endurance did not exactly give me enough rest, though the legs were ok (tired but strong enough) my real issue is my right testical! People always say “the […]
Okay, 11 weeks out and time to ask Rog what the next step is. Simple answer, 1 hour test to see where I am at. So I warm-up on my rollers for 30m and get kit up in my full aero setup, time to see if I can put up an effort worthy of an […]
So I never anticipated being able to prepare for an hour record attempt by myself. I figured I would do the basic road prep to build the foundation, do the technical research and the basic logistics. The final build would require someone with actual experience to get my body ready to make this happen, I must say I […]
I have had this in my head for a few years really, and with my 40th birthday coming up I figured it was now or never. I have always been interested in the hour following Moser, Obree, Boardman etc. with great interest – I mean who does not like the slick gear and the entire concept of an […]
This is an iconic book, i have paged through my worn out copy of this book regularly for 20 years. It is very dated in some aspects yet a lot of the training theory is still excellent. If you don’t have a power meter then this is probably one of the best books available as […]
