Well when i do have some big intervals on 80-90% for 20-30 minutes you have to flip a switch on your mind. You have to enter pain mode, no matter what. You have to focus on breathing, pedal technique just flip a switch. For me it was so difficult in the beginning. Started a training program with a coach, flipped the switch and 5 months later i am -6kgs body weight and +32 on ftp. From 3.9 watt/kg in ftp to 4.7 watts/kg. Focus, pain mode, be consistent, see results. don't quit, but BE reasonable. Always listen to your body, not your mind. Excellent video
The pain of regret is what always keeps me going and keeps me from quitting. The pain will soon be over but the pain of regret can last a long time. I'd rather attempt and fail than not attempt at all.
Stairmaster cyclist, i have been trying to reform from that, i was definitley doing it, i see a big power gain with ass out techinque but need to get used to it muscle wise.
Well done. This has been a great series to watch. I just hope to remember some of the teachings when I can ride outside again. Winter in Canada problems
Great episode Charles! I’m glad you talked about/shared the part on having the right mindset and how much that plays into it…. IMO, I don’t think that’s a subject that gets a lot of airtime in this sport - and it should… the 20+ “ef u Zach” was hilarious, but I felt that… 😂😂😂🙌🏽
Living the dream, been in that situation so many times .. always eats your at your mind, could I have carried on instead of pulling the pin 🙈🙈🙈 I feel ya 👊 great video entertainment, on my Friday night 😃in NZ 🇳🇿
Charles, enjoy a cup of coffee on me! Keep up the good work and providing us with great educational and entertaining content. Wish I could join you on this trip!
You guys doing just sugar and water? Or adding anything? I’ve found bulk Gatorade powder works well too and Is cheap. You just do big scoops. I wanna mess around with sugar more.
That climbing technique I learned yesterday?!?! That’s not really how the learning process works. I teach climbing technique, I’m happy if my riders make it autonomous after 2 months of practice.
@@CharlesOuimet no, but it’s how people think it works, but the learning process has the same three steps for every motor skill you learn. The cognitive stage: where your coaches explained how it should work. The associative stage: (where you really are) where you transfer what you know should happen to actual movement. It only works under controlled efforts, tends to fall apart at higher intensity. The autonomous stage: (where you think you are) it takes no mental effort, it’s second nature. I applaud your series of videos because they challenge the most common assumptions - “I already know how to pedal a bike”, and they get lots of views (I made a video explaining why people use the wrong muscle groups in the pedal stroke, it gets around 40 views/year). It shows an actual learning process, which in cycling is lacking on TH-cam. And then it fails… Anyone who knows cycling knows the term Marginal Gains. You filmed yourself climbing to see where there was room for improvement - that was a significant gain. Next you assumed you have learned it, and all gains made from improving technique stopped.

Gotta work on it !!
Mindset is affecting most things in life. The trick is to trick your self to archive the impossible. Good series Charles .
Agreed!!! Thanks
Wow! Outstanding 5 min effort! Bang on!
Thanks!!
Very cool. The value of this type of camp is so high in terms of knowledge and experience. I shutter to think of the financial cost.
Thanks Adam, glad you enjoyed
Best cycling series!
Thanks!!
GOOD job Charles! Another amazing content 💪
Merci FREROT
Awesome work
Thanks!!
Dude! Amazing content in this series! Congrats on the new PR. I now have added this to my bucket list. Time to meet Zack!!!
Thank you dude!!!
Being in a training camp and not finishing the five minute effort is such a strange thought. good that he went back.
That's what happen when the mindset isn't there!
We learn a lot of this content more power to your channel thank you very much ride safe always 💪💪💪👍
Thanks Josh !
Fantastic series Charles, love it!

Thanks John!!!
Well done. This has been a great series to watch. I just hope to remember some of the teachings when I can ride outside again. Winter in Canada problems
Thank you so much!!!!
Can you put all of the classroom sessions into a single video? They have been extremely informative!
That would be so good!!! I'll think about it
Awesome Charles, great improvement!!!
Thank you so much!!!

hii charles, how long was the rest in between the 5min and 15min efforts?
Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever. Good thing for everyone to learn at some point.
Yes!!!
Charles, enjoy a cup of coffee on me! Keep up the good work and providing us with great educational and entertaining content. Wish I could join you on this trip!
Thank. you!!!!!!!
That Karoo 2!!!!

Hi there, are you all on tubless set up?
I don't know about other people bike! For my bike I was
is it really compareable with 2 different bikes ?
Same power meter ! Pedals

We've been using Never Second drink mix all week. Not just sugar, it's 2:1 glucose and fructose mix
Took a good moment, longer than I want to admit, to realize that the gearing sounds were a censored sound and not real😅🤣
Ahahahahah 😅😂
at 9:49 what are you doing man??
surviving
Just a heads up. Some audio is out of sync.
YEah the camera had some issue and I wasn't able to fix
Carbs in the bottle = lower osmolality = faster energy
YES!
That climbing technique I learned yesterday?!?! That’s not really how the learning process works. I teach climbing technique, I’m happy if my riders make it autonomous after 2 months of practice.
Yes that's how it works when you finally understand how to applied force better.
