Cyclists often treat CTL like the ultimate measure of fitness, but that's only part of the story.In this episode, CTS Head Cycling Coach Adam Pulford explains what CTL actually measures, why performance and fitness aren't the same thing, and how to use your training data to peak for races instead of chasing a bigger number.HOSTAdam Pulford has been a CTS Coach for nearly two decades and holds a B.S. in Exercise Physiology.

Many cyclists are surprised to see the scales creeping up despite spending hours in the saddle. From hidden calorie intake and poor recovery habits to metabolic adaptations and lifestyle factors, there are several reasons why hard training can sometimes lead to weight gain instead of weight loss.

Go check out our FREE Skool community, it's got amazing tools in there and a thriving community of cyclists - https://www.skool.com/roadman/aboutWhy does Zone 2 training work brilliantly for some riders, but leave others stuck, tired, and going nowhere? In this episode, we unpack the missing context behind endurance training advice with insights from Mattias Reck, coach to Mads Pedersen. The key idea is simple: the zone is relative, but the cost is absolute. For pros riding huge hours at huge watts, avoiding the middle makes sense. For time-crunched amateurs, tempo, sweet spot, and upper Zone 2 may be the most valuable training you can do. We cover fuelling, fatigue resistance, durability, and how to train for the life you actually have.One of the tools you will have heard Anthony chat about in this podcast is Training Peaks.

Send us Fan MailA bucket hat shows up in our lives again, and this time it's not just an awkward dinner story. We read a real headline about a Florida bank robber who demanded cash in his bucket hat, then basically helped police catch him by continuing to wear the thing. It's ridiculous, it's funny, and it somehow fits perfectly with our ongoing theory that bucket hats cause people to go a little berserk.We also bring back a favorite guest, Miya, for a warm update on Confetti, the well-traveled Beanie Baby who keeps tagging along on rides, vacations, and big moments. That opens the door to Beanie Baby history, the 1990s collectible craze, and why most of the “value” talk misses the point when the real payoff is memory and tradition. On top of that, we share a practical travel tip for anyone booking flights with flexibility, plus a Listener Spotlight that lands in Powell, Tennessee, complete with a railroad stop origin story and novelty architecture.Then we shift gears into something we genuinely want every road user to know: cyclists helped drive the early push for better roads in the United States through the Good Roads Movement and the League of American Wheelmen, before cars dominated transportation. It's the kind of history that changes what you say the next time someone yells “get off the road.” We wrap with a look ahead: we're attempting daily Tour de France mini episodes with quick recaps, jersey basics, and beginner-friendly commentary as we follow the race day by day.Subscribe, share this with a riding buddy, and leave us a review that's actually about the show.

Go check out our FREE Skool community, it's got amazing tools in there and a thriving community of cyclists - https://www.skool.com/roadman/aboutToday Anthony is joined by Dr. Sam Impey, an expert in performance nutrition who works at the sharp end of endurance sport. We talk about a new study that finally confirms that most cyclists ARE getting fuelling wrong. And the surprising part is, it's probably not the mistake you think it is. This isn't just about gels, drink mix, or what you eat on the bike. It's about a much bigger pattern that shows up across the training week — one that separates how amateurs fuel from how the PROs do it. So today, we're unpacking what cyclists get wrong, why it matters, and how to fuel smarter.One of the tools you will have heard Anthony chat about in this podcast is Training Peaks.

The Occupational Philosophers | Episode 117 | With Jasper Vallance Jasper Vallance is a social entrepreneur who left his corporate life at Google to create a life of meaning driven by his passions. As an event architect, he became the founder of Australia's largest sober dance party. He has taken what he learned at Burning Man to rethink what corporate gatherings could actually do for people. This episode is about why many company events don't work and what intentional gathering looks like when it's done right. In this episode, they cover the collapse of Friday drinks, the WeWork meltdown (yes, that one), and why alcohol has never actually been the social lubricant we think it is. Timestamps 00:00 – Opening clip: the art of setting the scene 00:48 – What's caught your eye? 05:00 – Guest intro: Jasper Vallance 07:30 – Burning Seed relaunch — Cosmic Canyon 10:24 – Burning Man 101: it's 10 principles 11:18 – Where are you in the world? 12:19 – Dinner Party Round begins 12:41 – What's giving you joy? 14:00 – Who inspires you? 16:12 – Big question: can the magic of Burning Man translate to company events? 19:29 – What do you actually do? 20:49 – Why Jasper is always in costume — and why that matters 21:22 – The secret sauce: costumes do what alcohol does, without the damage 22:20 – Google, 2007, and what the digital age did to human connection 26:01 – How Burning Man changed his life 27:42 – How Xstatic Sunsets was born: the natural high through dance 28:22 – Walking the talk: how do you actually create belonging? 30:15 – The welcome experience: hugs, costumes, facilitators 31:42 – The corporate opportunity: what if the CEO wore a chicken outfit? 33:00 – Storytelling starts before people arrive — the art of building anticipation 35:14 – Thought Experiment: Jasper Vallance, Event Detective 51:44 – Rapid fire: one thing you couldn't live without 53:04 – Dr. Peter Lovatt: dance first, think later 54:04 – The Occupational Philosophers Maniguesto 56:19 – What's next: Burning Seed and Immersive8 57:42 – Where to find Jasper online 58:50 – Post-show reflections: John and Simon on the art of gathering Key Ideas Purpose before planning. Most corporate events treat purpose as an afterthought. Jasper argues it should be the first thing locked in — not as a value statement, but as a lived experience the event is designed to create. Participation over presentation. Burning Man works because everyone is in the action. The moment people become spectators, you lose them. Same applies to company offsites. Costumes do what alcohol does, without the damage. They lower inhibitions, break social hierarchies, and give people permission to play. Jasper has proven this at scale. The welcome is everything. The first point of contact sets the entire tone. Not an icebreaker on a slide. An actual human welcome that makes people feel like they belong. Passions connect people across silos. Ask everyone what they love doing outside work. Cyclists ride together. Cooks cook together. Then they come back with something real in common. Post-COVID, Friday drinks aren't coming back. Younger generations want to go home. The social fabric of the office has changed. The answer isn't to recreate the old model — it's to reimagine what connection looks like now. Standout Line "I have guys coming up at the end of the night going, 'I almost had a drink before I came in, but I'm so glad I didn't.' That is the experience I'm trying to deliver."

Unlike drunk driving, the current law on cycling while intoxicated does not specify a specific limit. Rather, it relies on the Gardaí judging whether you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs to the point that you do not have proper control of the bike. So, should a specific limit for cycling while drunk be introduced?Joining Seán to discuss further is Conor Faughnan, Independent Motoring Expert with Carzone.

New figures from the Road Safety Authority show that 15 cyclists in Clare were seriously injured in road traffic collisions between 2021 and 2025. That represents just 1% of the national total of 1,324 serious cyclist injuries recorded over the same period. The RSA says the findings form part of a wider report into cyclist safety, alongside the launch of a new national survey aimed at better understanding the circumstances behind cycling collisions across Ireland. For more on this, Daragh Dolan was joined by cyclist, Ciarán Tiernan and Mayor of Clare, Paul Murphy. Image (c) Virrage Images Inc via Canva.

Deena Blacking and Christine O'Connell talk to host Elizabeth Emery about The Cyclists' Alliance Go Fund Me, sponsorship, the growth of women's cycling, worries about the development pathway to the top level of the sport, media coverage, TCA's role is in the world of women's cycling, sponsorship, and how to be a superfan. Christine spent over 20 years working in strategy and corporate development, including senior roles at Thomson Reuters and in strategy consulting. She now focuses on her cycling based charity campaign, One More City, a global charity initiative built around long distance cycling challenges, raising funds for research into secondary, or metastatic, breast cancer. Christine has been living with secondary breast cancer since 2018, and cycling is an important part of how she manages the disease and continues to live a full life. Christine is Vice President of The Cyclists' Alliance, the organization representing female professional cyclists, and Vice Chairman of the Queen's Institute of Community Nursing. Deena is a cycling coach and consultant in sport. She has worked with national and international sports organizations for the last ten years. Prior to this, she worked as a lawyer in human rights law in the UK. Deena has been involved with The Cyclists' Alliance since 2020.

You'll show your support, help us stay "athletic-greens-free", and get access to our world-class discussion forumsIn this Spotlight, we start on the cobbled roads of Belgium to explore why riding on cobbles is so hard, and how not so good vibrations compromise mechanical power, cost more energy and require more exertion to produce the same power output. It's Pogacar vs van der Poel, Round 3 this week on the cobbles of Roubaix, and we wonder whether smart tactics will be enough to overcome the Slovenian's firepower, and whether van der Poel's larger size may tilt the balance in his favour?We discuss Jimmy Gressier's return, in Decathlon's own version of a super-shoe, as he runs an exceptional 5k road time. Speaking of Decathlon, a good week for the brand with Paul Seixas continuing his rise, this time with dominance in the Tour of the Basque Country, and hope for a challenger to Pogacar.A new research paper suggests doping prevalence among University students of 13.7%, but it uses novel statistical methods to get there, after only 3.4% of the athletes admit to PED use.

The recently disclosed peptide stack of one competitor, world's strongest man Mitchell Hooper, is the basis for a chat about the grift those Games.Finally, our teen phenom watch list has two more names, 14-year old girls who broke 23s last week.
