1. Your fitness is going to dictate your speed, the speed will come the more you train 2. You’ll recover faster from multiple short rides compared to one long ride 3. Most people don’t fuel as much as they should, eat regularly on and off the bike 4. Strengthening your upper body off the bike allows you to hold a more efficient posture on the bike for longer 5. Make small yet consistent goals on a weekly or monthly basis to encourage yourself to constantly train Watch the whole video for more details!
Some of these are good tips that can be applied to life in general, not just biking. Especially "don't start off too fast" and "break down long term goals into smaller more manageable goals".
I 100% agree with you as I am 62 and used to hammer every ride, can’t do that anymore. I’ve shortened my rides, still ride hard, but leave a little on the table so that I can come back strong on my next ride, great advice.
One of the many things I like about what Scott says is that they also apply to other points in life. I'm at a stage in my life (despite being 52 years old) where I'm studying a lot, and Scott's advice applies perfectly to studies. Thanks Scott.
Gunning for 140 miles tomorrow....already done x2 100's this year.....x2 180 rides and another 100 before my big 205 miler in June [CTS]....weather should be brightening up soon as well ☺
Tremendous video, these tips are so valuable for all cyclists, but especially for me at 62 years old, nutrition, weight training, and core work along with good sleep, and recovery is paramount for all cyclists as you described here, awesome video, well done!
Nice tips, thank you. It is a bit frustrating when you are struggling to climb a little hill and couple of other cyclists pass you over chatting to each other as they were drinking a coffee at the cafeteria… Then you think to yourself, something is wrong, is it my bike? Is it my saddle height, am I too old for this or too heavy ??? … hehehe that happens to me regularly.
Nice!!! Made a single speed 700*35 bike this winter with 44/17 gear. For our flat and 5% uphills it rocks!! Btw - 50cm wide handlebar for me is a must! Helps with climbing a lot🤩👍
Another great video! Beautiful countryside ! …I like small chunks of training..the only problem is getting to zone 2 in a short time, it takes me a few minutes to get out of zone 1. Any suggestions ?
Great video! What about being fat-adapted? I find I can easily ride for 2-3 hours with just water and salt. Obviously I’m not doing mega efforts or sprints in these rides, but I feel absolutely fine on them, as generally follow a low carb/high-fat/protein diet.
I was under the impression that "grazing" throughout the day was a leading cause of "insulin resistance" and that we should be eating with longer periods between meals.
I am a type 2 diabetic with my latest a1c result of 5.3, a structured training volume of 9 hrs on the bike. I can attest to eating whole and nutritious food and following my hunger cues every 2-3 hours has been part of my success.
riding to work and back every day for 2 weeks - 1 mounth will make huge differnce. well you have to be not exausted to fell it ( i mean : comutte to work for some time then rest and then go for a ride)
Hey coach, I’m 70 and do as you said « small chunks of time ». I do a total of 60 minutes a day broken down to 15 to 20 minute sessions. I do this every day and it seems to be working. What do you think ? Do I need to do at least one session of 30 minutes to get a training effect?
#Q I wonder ... Aside of the bike, I read advice to give your body/Insulin a rest and NOT eat contantly, but have a longer periode of time, without eating, like the 16/8 Interval-fasts. I know from experience, that your advice on fueling constantly during ride/training helps a lot. but grasing like sheep off the bike?
Eating small meals evenly spread out over a day do not equal grasing/eat constantly :) Key is to meet the nutrition demands for your activity level and recovery.
@@halaircyclinggains1300 At 4:50 coach says to not go more then 3 hours, better 2 without eating. I have read that to not eat for several hours to lower insulin production yadayada lose fat/weight. It said especially to not grase, as the pancreas is then conatantly working/produceing insulin. i m somewhat confused.
@@amadreiter1 If you dont eat after 8PM, go to sleep at 10-11 and have your breakfast at 9AM you have given your stomach a 13hr fast/rest period already :) Then for the next 11hrs of the day eat 3-6 meals evenly spread out during the day, as seen fit for your schedule :)
Consistency is everything. I am a running lover with over 10 years of experience in it. Never tried to be fast or followed any specific training plans and never even done intervals or whatsoever.Gym is the only other thing. And now I run effortlessly 4.3 per k. And can go slightly below 4.0 if I really want to. 5k distance become barely a warm up. I am up to the point when I can run without noticing it. Now I am on the bike for a year and totally love it. All the best everyone!
I am a practicing testimony to long cycling rides are better than short rides. Two weeks ago, after fasting I rode 135.6 km during the ride I did not eat, during the ride I only drank 8 oz of water. At the end of the ride, I felt strong and possibly could have ridden an additional 10 km. I refueled and the next day rode 101.2 km. How am I able? I have trained my body to ride as far as it can as fast as it can, which is the end goal of cycling. Cycling is a hard man and hard woman sport, period.
Giro with magnetic Zeiss visor. It’s really nice as a pair of prescription glasses fit perfectly with the visor on. It’s the helmet I use on the track.
How to get fast? Ride indoors pure structured rides, do more indoor gym, eat more indoor home cooked food. Basically just stop going outdoor since the outdoor sucks anyway. Settled. Fast.
Gah! Running is what drove me to cycling! If you see me running, look for what I'm running from! But cycling has proved that there's at least something healthy that doesn't suck more than I enjoy it. Not to say parts of cycling aren't utterly miserable (climbing). But at least I'm not running!
Even if i'm always, always on the drops at 69 i won't go faster then before, because i'm over the hill, since a while. I'm still riding, fast sometimes, i mean for me. But you need to accept, that were all going downhill after the top. Trying to enjoy the riding, have some FUN ! Don't be too serious 😊😊!!!
Mostly great content. The nutrition advice IMO is bad. Carbs aren’t even required. This audience wants health and 30% of top athletes are pre diabetic in their 30’s. Imagine how many regular athletes are then… the body does not need 1 gram of carbs to drive glucose in the muscle. btw glycogen is not stored in the muscle as it’s made out the glycogen is replaced all the time with blood glucose of which there is only ever a small amount in the blood stream. Fats can be used at the mitochondria level along with glucose to be turned into glycogen the muscle can use. Gluconeogenesis can do all the supply required of carbs through the blood.

“…you’ll get upset and take up running”🤣. Coach, a new brand, but you still got it!!
😂👍👍👍
Thankyou
Some of these are good tips that can be applied to life in general, not just biking.
Especially "don't start off too fast" and "break down long term goals into smaller more manageable goals".
I feel better on normal rides daily, vs powerhouse rides that leave me worthless for 3 days. Great video coach
Thank you 🙏

just built my first fixed gear bike and it's absolutely kicking my ass. hope I can build up that fitness!

The view in your glasses is spectacular :)

Wish the UK weather would cooperate - not good with rain and gust.
OTOH, head winds are great for power training😂
Same helmet! Cheers!
👍👍
Good stuff again. Big thank you!
you're awesome coach, and very sweet in your way of speak, learn a lot with u
I always get at least one good laugh and some great advice from your videos. thanks
Great content as always! 🙌🏼
Funny man lov it from Aussie very good info thank you champion 🏆
Very wise words....best advice I have heard on you tube for years; great motivational video😎
I have one goal that applies to everything. DO BETTER. Better than yesterday, better than last year.
👍👍👍
I'm not bulletproof but I am unstoppable

Thank you Coach
i have a different question(s):
where is that (looks amazing for cycling)
how do you take your bike safely internationally so it arrives unharmed
I was under the impression that "grazing" throughout the day was a leading cause of "insulin resistance" and that we should be eating with longer periods between meals.
I am a type 2 diabetic with my latest a1c result of 5.3, a structured training volume of 9 hrs on the bike. I can attest to eating whole and nutritious food and following my hunger cues every 2-3 hours has been part of my success.
@@Type2Cyclist Fantastic to hear. Thank you and glad to hear you are keeping it under control. It's amazing the untruths out there.
Most of that is unproven hype quasi science.
how long is a long ride. is one persons long another persons short?
Great vid Coach.. very motivational :) Pete
How do you recover from long rides coach ?
riding to work and back every day for 2 weeks - 1 mounth will make huge differnce. well you have to be not exausted to fell it ( i mean : comutte to work for some time then rest and then go for a ride)
Hey coach, I’m 70 and do as you said « small chunks of time ». I do a total of 60 minutes a day broken down to 15 to 20 minute sessions. I do this every day and it seems to be working. What do you think ? Do I need to do at least one session of 30 minutes to get a training effect?
I'm really curious about the location you were filming in now...
What's "bake"? 😅
Digestive enzymes add to meal increases digestion speed !

Wow, you don't look like 53 at all. Amazing form!
Love this channel! "You're a pile of shit" 😂😂😂

Cycling is a hard man and hard woman sport, period.
Chosing your parents well, is the best way to be fast ,by far !!!😊
don't think I've seen that helmet before. what is it?
Giro with magnetic Zeiss visor. It’s really nice as a pair of prescription glasses fit perfectly with the visor on. It’s the helmet I use on the track.
Love the accent
How to get fast?
Ride indoors pure structured rides, do more indoor gym, eat more indoor home cooked food. Basically just stop going outdoor since the outdoor sucks anyway.
Settled. Fast.
Yeah, you showed me bike, leaning against the fence... Ride THAT for a week and see how you get on. 😂
Gah! Running is what drove me to cycling! If you see me running, look for what I'm running from!
But cycling has proved that there's at least something healthy that doesn't suck more than I enjoy it. Not to say parts of cycling aren't utterly miserable (climbing).
But at least I'm not running!
good cycling equipment also makes me much faster.
u get an engine
😂😂
What did runners ever do to you? Lol 😅
Cycle with the wind...lol
Even if i'm always, always on the drops at 69 i won't go faster then before, because i'm over the hill, since a while. I'm still riding, fast sometimes, i mean for me. But you need to accept, that were all going downhill after the top. Trying to enjoy the riding, have some FUN ! Don't be too serious 😊😊!!!
Long and slow , build up gradual . With a long slow ride add interval training in the middle and then recover .
I'm a pile of shit lol
Shredded wheat.
Train an upgrade don't buy an upgrade
Train like ke a pro, take EPO.
