In this episode of Training Babble I finally sat down with my good friend Ryan Cooper to discuss what goes into creating an optimization model, how off-road cyclists can use it, and what is on the horizon for the future. BestBikeSplit.comCase Study: using BBS to prepare for the LT 100
How cool would it be to have an accurate prediction of the bike split in your next event? Even if it's just to make sure that your other half knows when to be ready with the camera! This is exactly what Best Bike Split does and by all accounts, they are pretty damn accurate. Most comments and reviews I've seen refer to something equating to a 1% accuracy, which would be a minute for a standard distance tri and 3-4 minutes in an Iron-distance event. In this week's High Performance Human podcast, I'll be speaking with Rich Harpel and Ryan Cooper who are the brains behind this software. We'll be deep-diving into how you can get the most from this awesome bit of software. Topics we chat about include: How to get started with BBS in less than 10 mins What's most important to get an accurate output Common mistakes and how to avoid them messing up your race day predictions How BBS can show you whether it's best to boost power or lose weight Reverse engineering race goals to inform your training Using BBS for sportives and gravel racing If you would like to subscribe to Best Bike Split then we have created a special code for listeners of the podcast.

Ryan Cooper from Best Bike Split is a math wizard who uses his algorithms to help Pro-Tour cycling teams get faster. In this episode Ryan explains how you can make better decisions when it comes to bike fit, pacing, and gear selection. Following the advice in this episode can save you 60 watts.
In the summer of 2013, Ryan Cooper took a few weeks off of work to answer a question: could you accurately predict a cyclist's performance using a fast, easy-to-use model? Over five years later, Ryan is the co-founder and chief scientist at Best Bike Split, a tool that helps cyclists of all levels develop optimal pacing and training strategies using proven technology.
