I absolutely agree. I used to tell people the best way to keep from getting flats is not to ride over things that give you flats. Being aware is so important.
Pete Morris is god damn national treasure! I remember him telling us on Team Clif bar he was running 70psi on 28's YEARS ago on this podcast, well before anyone else and now 30's thats awesome. 30 is the only way for me personally now that I've tried it. Setting up on the hoods too? When he said that I was sold and have been ever since, great to see him back.
Love the Dad conversation @40mins. I'm personally doing what Nate is doing and find its working great for myself, but more importantly, my family. BTW, originally from CA and my spouse from Carson; fun to hear some familiar places and routes! Keep up the great work guys.
Really enjoyed this episode. Been listening every week since the first time Justin Rossey was on think was episode 3 or 4. Learned so much keep up the good work providing so much value
Agreed on the need to be consistent even when juggling the parent life. That said, while I’m grateful to see my ftp creep up monthly, I do also wish that it would do more than creep up.
You guys are the best. Great show and I really like TrainerRoad and I feel that I am definitely getting better. FTP slowing going up. Live the red light green light. Take a day off in that red day my coach said it’s OK
Please stop talking trash on the Lauf fork if you haven't spent time on one. Yes, it is undampened but it is no more "bouncy" than larger tires on a rigid fork. If anything, larger tires in combination with the Lauf fork counter one another and provide a dampened feel that smooths the trail considerably. Yes, it will blow thru the 30mm on technical descents but is better than rigid experience. By larger tires, I mean 45c or larger. That said, I have strongly considered getting a 40mm Ruby to try in place of the Lauf fork to see. Great podcast, please keep up the exceptional work that we all benefit from.
It can be, but it varies. Typically multiple efforts with reduced recovery (typically 1:1 or less so recovery is not complete) eg 30/30s or 40/20s. But it could also be something like 5 x 3 minutes on/ 3 minutes off to accumulate time at VO2. If I asked you to do 2 all out 3 minute efforts to try and set a new PB, you are naturally going to take a longer recovery between efforts. You are also naturally going to go harder in those 2 efforts than the 5 x 3 where you know you have to control the effort and pace yourself. So naturally, psychologically and physically we adjust our intensity to the number or repetitions. Training for repeatability is uncomfortable in it's own way because it does mean bumping up against the limits we set ourselves. That is also part of the training, knowing you can do another effort (hold a wheel, follow an attack, counter attack) when your heads is saying you can't do it.
My reaction the first time I rode wider road tires was “these feel like good MTB tires, where I know exactly what they’re doing.” Bizarre at first, but I can never go back.
Re: sleep targets. Can you pull in sleep data from Apple Health? Or something like that? Could be a good way to implement that and track/incorporate that into training plans and red light/yellow light.
Had a lot of friends that were into CS in high school. I was too busy skateboarding every chance I got but we're definitely the same age range. Lol Enjoyed this episode guys.
With the perspective of a bike mechanic should be able to do repairs faster/better than I, not to mention needing to have/buy all the tools necessary. Also, having had shifter cables break, and even a chain break on a hill climb. is there a list of recommended list of maintenance to be done every x miles? Like how often should shifter/brake cables be changed, chains, etc? If it's been a while since changing shifter cables for example, I will get them replaced a month or so before an event just in case.
Taking a break from pondering my TrainerRoad Career and Calendar tabs to checkout Pete's bike shop in Verdi! What's Pete's favorite CS or CS:GO map other than Dust?
For sleep would you factor how much deep sleep vs light and/or rem? For example, if deep sleep was high/higher percentage, then would that be an indication the body is needing to recover or has recovered and ready to go?
This was a fun ep. I'd pay extra for something that pulled in "sleep workouts" and adjusted my training plan based on sleep recovery.

Nice having Pete back
Very nice. He was missed by many of us.
Hell yea!!!! Pete's back!
Thrilled to see Pete again! I live far, far away, but sure wish him the best.

And yes, I also played CS (IGN: Derpslayer)

Awesome to see Pete, especially as he looks like he's been in a monastery!
PETE! Welcome back!!
Pete back from outer space.

I like the thumbnail images during the show.

32:35 how do you train repeatability? Is it as simple as doing anaerobic efforts repeatedly?
It can be, but it varies. Typically multiple efforts with reduced recovery (typically 1:1 or less so recovery is not complete) eg 30/30s or 40/20s. But it could also be something like 5 x 3 minutes on/ 3 minutes off to accumulate time at VO2.

Any recommendations for a best online calculator for setting tire pressures?

Pete !

Nate I was very excited to see you and that glorious moustache!
I really enjoyed having Pete's insight back, but what t-shirt is he wearing???
Finally Ivy is gone! Glad to see Nate and Pete. They are great!
If the next podcast isn't filmed in Pete's new bike shop I'm canceling my TR sub
Before watching the video I’m guessing the workout is 6 by five minutes at around 4.0 watts per kilogram, plus some strides at the end.
50 year old commuters on there hybrids have been right the whole time!
Giant Revolt AP w/Gravel Fork or without and 2.1 Thunder Burts.. The best all round road/gravel bike set up mullet 44-9/50 IMHO

Enve 4.5 or 4.4 AR ? @Jonathan
PETE!!
Great episode.
Taking a break from pondering my TrainerRoad Career and Calendar tabs to checkout Pete's bike shop in Verdi!
What's Pete's favorite CS or CS:GO map other than Dust?
Ugh, that's tough. Honestly, maybe Train? Cache?
Go PEETE!!
Do not hit any type of brick or rock or your wheel will explode 😂
For sleep would you factor how much deep sleep vs light and/or rem? For example, if deep sleep was high/higher percentage, then would that be an indication the body is needing to recover or has recovered and ready to go?
Stranger danger! ;)
I just heard 7 hours is the optimal time to get for sleep. Faster podcast I think
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
Incredibly self promoting.
PETE!!!
