@@sagsdothedu The knee has settled this week with some good stretching and massaging with the gun. The Achilles is still tight so got physios next week and will try and manage it until then and see what they can do. Hopefully it’s nothing long term and will pass. The trail path would have been better for the run course to be honest. A bit muddy and slippery in places and with the tarmac sections it’s difficult to know what shoe is best. All good fun though and for a triathlon in the summer it might be a bit better, although with our summer weather you never can tell lol.

Love mine, really good. You can get it with loops for gels too. Same price which is handy.

Yeah they're great to be honest. The speedwrap also looks good too nopinz.com/product/speedwrap/

@@pauledgerton1759 if you have any recommendations let me know> Always like to find new paths to explore.

@@simonhallgbduathlete if I didn’t runup Clent, I’d head over to Stourbridge and park at the top of Ounty John Lane. From there, run past the water works and head down the trail towards the Kidderminster Road. At the bottom you can either turn right towards Bunkers Hill wood and Ridgehill or left and follow the trails towards Churchill. It’s all good.

@@sagsdothedu always do my long runs on the trails.

@@1972malberto I’ve been really pleased. They did come up quite big. I put some insoles in which made the difference. Felt haven’t been cold in them though and pretty good in the wet too.

I've come from a running back ground and initially really struggled on the bike. Had to work hard over the last few years to get my splits down. I've found weight training has massively helped and I've managed not to ad weight. Also more structured training and joining a local club to get dragged around on a Saturday morning has also really helped. I started doing more and more time trials and as this has also helped my bike split.

@@davepoole8530 thanks for the comment. Pretty new to this TH-cam stuff. Since the video bought a little Bluetooth mic to help with audio. Thanks for the feedback and hopefully future videos have and will improve further.

Great to meet and chat. Hope you enjoyed the race/event. Hopefully see you at a few more.

Thanks chap

Look forward to seeing you pal.

Still comfy. I do a lot of strength and conditioning and this isn’t aggressive for me. Haven’t had any issues and similar to my other bikes.

Thanks chap. Always enjoy a good chap, so hopefully next time we can catch up. Great atmosphere at these events and always enjoy catching up with everyone. Hopefully speak next time.

Cheers chap. Been really pleased with the Factor.

Horrible conditions. Need to get some videos over to you.

Wasn’t too bad. It was the water and debris on the roads which was horrible. Hopefully catch up at Oulton.

Cheers mate.

Thank you, really pleased with it so far.

You can enter online so there an easy sport to get into. Great fun and win the UK we have quite a few races on Grand Prix circuits if you don’t fancy racing the bike on the open roads.

Don’t normally label it for kids so I’ll check that next time

@@simonhallgbduathlete I can't activate notifications on any of your recent vids!

I wear toe covers for the colder duathlons. You should try some CASTELLI Toe Thingy 2 Cycling Toe Covers

Been pleased with it so far. Cheaper than a drone lol

Riding a 56 frame. The height to the table of the saddle from the top tube is 36cm. I’m 182cm

@@simonhallgbduathlete thanks man!

Always find the morning sessions tough. I generally find the pace gets quicker through the sets as I wake up lol. Do all my sessions on grass now. Would like to get on the track more but it’s more convenient getting the run sessions done before work.

Two to three sessions on Zwift. I do my structured efforts in Zwift as can’t do them on the roads in reality. I use my commute as my steady miles instead of driving when I’m in the office. Work from home three days a week and two in the office. Saturdays is either club ride (solid pace) or Zwift.

@@simonhallgbduathlete All the best for your build up to the 2024 season. Maybe see you at Oulton Park 24 March ✊

Thanks chap.

No seemed fine to be honest. It’s actually pretty comfy. The tubeless setup really helps to be honest. Feels really smooth. When is did video I had all the stacks in on this stem. I’ve since slammed the stem and it still feels good. I think if you’ve had a bike fit you’ll be fine. I’ve not done Amat seriously long rides. Max 2.5/3hours to date.

Cheers pal. Still working on this video stuff so good to get feedback. Might be a little loud on reflection. Good result to finish the Duathlon season. Now to focus on 2024

Yeah, not great audio. All part of the learning curve.

Yeah. Not ideal. Been looking at a little wireless mic as the phone/GoPro isn’t ideal when set a little further away

On for the stem. Had a little carbon housing 3D printed by Vires Velo where I bought it from.

I’ve done duathlons. Standard and middle distance on it, had a Trek Speed Concept previously. Done a few Ironmans in the past so will most likely do some triathlons and half/full Ironman on it in the future.

Thanks for the advice. Gone for the new corsa pro which was launched at the Giro. Currently running clinchers which aren’t that great. Looking forward to seeing how the tubeless go.

Cheers chap. Bloody freezing on the bike lol.

Will do not long to go now before the fitting.

Well done on the podium mate. Top effort.

@@simonhallgbduathlete cheers simon, i feel like a london bus hadn't had one then two in two days lol😀
