    counting to ten whilst sprinting: 1..2..3..4..567810 done! :p

    I can outsprint all of my friends despite the fact that they (I think) have stronger legs than me. I attribute this to the fact that I am comfortable peddling at 140+ cadences. That also changes something else for me: I see a lot of people talking about sprinting like changing gears during the sprint is not an option. Now I can change gears while pushing upwards of 1100 watts because I'm doing it by having a high cadence with less load on the gears.
    Also, Joe Friel's triangle of cycling ability which has Force, Endurance, Speed Skills (the ability to turn the cranks at high cadences) as the three vertices. These are the basic abilities. The advanced abilities are the edges of the triangle. Sprinting is between force and speed skills, muscular endurance is between force and endurance, and anaerobic endurance is between endurance and speed skills.
    All this to say that my own experience and Joe Friel's advice says that the ability to pedal fast is a paramount to sprinting ability. I naturally get up to 140 cadence on a geared bike. That's how I do it probably because I've spent a lot of time on a track bike with a gear that required me to pedal at 160 rpm to get up to 50kmh. I wouldn't say that 140+ cadence is necessary for sprinting fast, but I would definitely emphasize that at least being able to pedal at 120 would be beneficial for anyone's sprinting ability.

    If you have to ride on multi-use paths, you can use it as a sprint training session while still sharing the path like a responsible cyclist. Keeping your bike in your highest gear, approach pedestrians as slow as possible (even if you have to brake), wait for a clear path, pass giving a wide berth. once clear hammer it till you start to spin out (typically takes about 10 seconds), coast up to the next pedestrian(s), repeat. I regularly ride a 5-km stretch of MUP and get on average 10 sprints in.

    Excellent training video. Maybe one of your best. Do more like it for other types of training goals. Then you can do a video on a sample 6 week training plan where you put them all together.

    What i do is pick to makers on the side of the rode and as soon as i pass the first one i sprint as hard as i can till i pass the second one about 50meters followed by a short rest period and repeat till i feel iv done enough. Its important to train your sprint, climbing, and decending because there always going to be someone better than you but how much better is up to you

    I recently bought my first pair of cleats and have been loving them so far, I'm able to sprint with about an extra 10kph. However, I don't find clipping in the easiest thing. On my ride yesterday morning I got to a busy traffic light, with cars in front and behind me. As soon as the car in front began to move I attempted to clip in. However, I missed the front of the pedal and my foot slid out with a lot of speed, pulling my body off balance. I completely lost control of the bike and next thing I knew I was lying on the cold, wet ground waiting for an ambulance. It was quite embarrassing due to the number of cars around, but it did make me feel better knowing I'm still better at clipping in than Matt.

  • @Catcrumbs
    @Catcrumbs 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like interval workouts like the one Simon suggests. I noticed a great improvement in my ability to sprint out of corners when mountain biking after I'd done a few sessions. Annoyingly, even with intervals as long as 20 s/ 10 s my Edge 510 starts to fall behind. The beeps to alert me to rest or work are missed and data points are dropped. It's very disappointing for some high-end kit to fail to perform like that.

    • @FA1L3NFOE
      @FA1L3NFOE 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      You have me confused because I have an edge 510 and it works perfectly for this. Do you use the workouts feature or how do you use it for your interval sessions?

    • @Catcrumbs
      @Catcrumbs 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      FA1L3NFOE
      Yeah I do use the workout feature. I programmed in a Tabata workout as described here: britishcyclesport.com/2013/training/tabata-intervals/. Ideally I would set a 'rate of perceived exertion' target for the 20 s work intervals, but that's not available, so I just set an unattainably high speed target. When it warns me I'm going too slow, it seems to put the to the next interval out of sync. Looking back, it's been a while since it dropped data points in a big way - once it failed to record the last half of all four sets: 4 x ~90 s drops - so that might have been remedied in an update since then.

  • @Webgkil
    @Webgkil 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    All these 5 second/10second/20second intervals...
    I find them quite hard to follow with my Garmin (Edge 510) without any distinct visual/audio queues...
    Even a screen with only a single timer is kinda hard to follow when you're on your 5th rep of an all-out interval.
    Have you guys found any other device (something like those interval timers they use at gyms maybe?) to make things easier to follow such training programs??
    I've even thought of using Arduino to make a simple 2-3 LED timer, but my complete lack of programming knowledge stopped me right after :D

    • @BritishArmy3SCOTS
      @BritishArmy3SCOTS 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I write my interval times down on a piece of paper. For example here I have a warm up for 20 minutes and then a 10 second sprint at:
      1: 20:00 minutes in
      2: 23:00
      3: 26:00
      5: 29:00
      6: 32:00
      7: 38:00
      9: 44:00
      10: 47:00
      with 3 minutes recovery in between and then there is some other efforts of 5 and 10 minutes after that.
      You can also press the lap button on the 510 once you've started or after you've finished the 10 seconds.
      This means that I only have to look at my ride time and tick each sprint off as I do them on the piece of paper or in my head.

    • @gcn
      @gcn  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rory's idea is a good old pro trick, stick it on your top tube or stem for added style points. If you have loads of intervals to do and you lose count, why not take a handful of tiny pebbles with you that correspond to the number of intervals. After each one, throw a pebble away from you back pocket, and train until you have none left.

    • @FA1L3NFOE
      @FA1L3NFOE 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow dude you've been missing out. If you go on garmin connect on a PC you can create a workout and then send it to your edge 510. Then go into workouts on your edge and press ride. This will give you countdowns for intervals, warn you when you leave your desired zone etc. let me know if you have any problems

    @Danielle Lloyd
    What do you mean turn off , turn on? I noticed that riding out of the saddle helps to relive the pain. Also i noticed that my saddle is tilted slighty to the left ( left side of the saddle seems a bit lower then the right side) but i dont understand this because my bike is pretty new and there is no adjustement for that...

    • @dee-jay-gee-bee7659
      @dee-jay-gee-bee7659 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think Danielle was just being silly and quite possibly referencing The I.T. Crowd in a bit of nonsensical useless 'advice'. (Also you could've replied directly under her post so that she'd see this and possibly reply.)

  • @MauricioAlsinaLee
    @MauricioAlsinaLee 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Si session is a killer. I've done sth similar to it and I ended almost dead. BTW, it's great in the end. About Dan's, can't perform it 'cause I live on the flats and Matt's it's a must in every day training.
    My tip: Try Si's on a velodrome. It's amazing. Standing launches are quite good also (first part of Dan's session).
    Thank you, guys! BTW, do you have any tip to be a good sprinter's launcher (like Tony Martin in the bunch sprint of today's stage of Dubai tour)? As it got a name in the peloton?

  • @hxduck
    @hxduck 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    PRO TIP: Just add beans to your pre race meal... I feel the extra propulsion is sometimes exactly what's needed. Also it distracts the trailing riders.

    Thanks guys, great video again. I tried the session with sets of 5 and 10 second micro-intervals today towards the end of a 6 hour epic training ride and it was good! :-)
    I'm not used to practicing my sprinting, but it's actually quite easy to slot a set or two into a long endurance ride. You get quite an adrenaline rush from the sprints as well :-) Keep the videos coming, great stuff!

    @bmont170 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    How fast will I need to be in order to win bunch sprints? The fastest I've gotten up to is 28.4mph or 45.7km. Is that a good speed or should I push to get even faster?

  • @HoboCabbage
    @HoboCabbage 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I noticed that Dan's breathing is a bit sporadic when he is sprinting. Is that a certain technique? Or is it just something that's hard to focus on when you are going full gas? I am a bit of a novice cyclist, so that IS a sincere question.

    • @vh7368
      @vh7368 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it's something that he does because it's hard to focus. When I am sprinting I am doing this "chou, chou" sounds the first 5 seconds. So I'm barely breathing when I am launching the sprint.

  • @samofdiamonds
    @samofdiamonds 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi GCN,
    Loved the show this week and I was wondering if any of you guys have ever experienced this problem. It occurred while I was riding out in the cold at the weekend, my hands went numb and never really came back to being normal again. Not sure if this is from the cold or because I did my longest ever ride and my hands aren't used to being in that position for too long.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    • @gcn
      @gcn  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Sam, when riding in the cold it's very likely that you'll hands will go numb, but it will be from your fingers back towards your wrist. If it's due to being in an uncomfortable position, it's likely that the numbness will start in your palm.

    • @dul22
      @dul22 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @gcn
      @gcn  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Christophe Friedli - it really depends on what your aims and goals are. If you're simply wanting to get a little better or work on a weakness, once or twice a week is fine. On the other hand, if you're wanting to make big improvements in sprinting, then you can have focussed periods where you do this kind of session 3 or 4 times a week.

  • @tomblackbourn9760
    @tomblackbourn9760 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi GCN, I recently got my first road bike and was wondering if it would be worth paying the extra for road pedals/shoes or if I could just get another set of the clipless ones I have on my mountain bike and use the same shoes? Would it make much of a difference or not? Also, should I go for a powermeter or is it not worth it as I am 13

    • @gcn
      @gcn  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Thomas, you can totally use mtb pedals and shoes, you certainly won't lose any performance. However, road pedals and shoes do feel a bit nicer, more positive, less movement.
      As for the powermeter, personally I think that's a bit overkill for someone your age. Riding should be about fun, not numbers, there's plenty of time to worry about such things as you get older.

    • @tomblackbourn9760
      @tomblackbourn9760 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @gcn

      Yes, but you'll have to sprint in a slightly different way. When accelerating hard on the trainer your back wheel can often slip, so you'll have to accelerate slightly more gently.

      Manfred Stienstra I do all of my interval training on the turbo, just do the sprints sat in the saddle. I'm a track rider so I do the vast majority of my acceleration in the saddle anyway but when it comes to riding a crit or a road race I'm still just as good out of the saddle. It doesn't really matter whether you're in or out of the saddle you are training the same muscles.

      Do a track sprint then. In the saddle.

      Étienne M. J. L. Rory Mackay that's the wrong way, do the opposite! Learn to ride out of the saddle, do it more often, improve your bike skills - it's important not only for sprinting, but also for climbing and for your safety! And, believe it or not, it will make you much faster... (because you will ride more relaxed and not waste your energy)

    Seems too complicated, an ex pro in my club says sprint training for him was literally cycling steady out for 20 mins to his sprint spot, a flat quiet road, then 20 sec sprint to 20 sec recovery. I remember he always says....if you can do more than 10 then you aren’t sprinting properly.

    For me, 10 seconds is nowhere near long enough for an interval. I aim for a HR of ~130 before I hit a sprint and go as hard as possible for 60-90 seconds. It's only half way before my HR is getting up to 170ish and I can feel the lactic really building. The aim is to train your anaerobic energy system, and I can't see how a 10s interval can generate that intensity.
    Though I guess the GCN boys have to be wary that all level of riders watch vids like this, and going from predominantly easy riding to maximal efforts isn't a good idea, in which case 10s efforts make sense as a starting point.

      This is a Sprint work out. Sprinting is a neromuscular work out, so efforts need to be a short all out intensity. A power meter would be a better tool to measure your effort. If you want to make this work out more challenging reduce the recovery time to the same as your interval ,10 seconds 10 seconds off. Happy training!

      Yeah heart rate doesn't really work at all for measuring short efforts like those in a sprint. Heart rate lag usually means it takes a while to get up to a heart rate that would correspond to the effort level but a 10 second interval would be finished by then.

    • @FA1L3NFOE
      @FA1L3NFOE 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      And btw a shorter interval does not mean it's for weaker riders. You can guarantee the best riders in the world do efforts such as these to work on their sprint. A 90 second interval is more of a V02 max interval rather than a sprint so if your doing that to work on your sprint it's probably not the best way to do it.
