Our Not Done Yet Coaching Community https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/2026Most self-coached cyclists don't struggle from lack of motivation — they struggle because they keep repeating a handful of fixable mistakes.In this video, we break down five of the biggest traps ambitious riders fall into — from overbuilding fatigue and obsessing over FTP, to misusing readiness data and relying too heavily on AI. These aren't beginner errors… they're the subtle ones that quietly cap your performance.More importantly, we'll show you how to correct each mistake with simple, practical shifts you can apply immediately.

In this episode, Niall Boylan discusses the feud on Irish roads- cyclists and motorists
OVERVIEWCyclists almost always report a discrepancy between the power output and/or perceived exertion between indoor and outdoor cycling. Typically, this means struggling to achieve the same power output indoors than can be achieved outdoors for common workouts like FTP intervals or VO2 max efforts. Even easier Zone 2 rides can have higher RPE values (i.e., feel harder) indoors compared to outdoors. In Episode 294 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast", Coach Adam Pulford reveals why indoor cycling feels harder, how you can narrow the gap between indoor and outdoor performance, and whether you should use different power training zones indoors vs outdoors.TOPICS COVEREDWhy indoor cycling feels harder than outdoor ridingWhich types of cycling workouts are affected more by moving indoorsHow to narrow the gap between indoor and outdoor performanceWhen to make different indoor and outdoor power training zonesRESOURCES Indoor vs Outdoor Power ExplainedKnowledge is Watt: https://www.instagram.com/knowledgeiswatt/- Indoor vs Outdoor Power post Can a Mismatch Between Course Gradient and Resistance Affect Performance When Using ERG Mode in a Zwift Workout?

Cycling in Nepal is more than just transportation—it is a cultural, legal, and intellectual movement. In this in-depth podcast, renowned Nepali scholar and author Dr. Tara Lal Shrestha, writer of Cycle Aesthetics (Cycle Saundarya), discusses the Cycle Act in Nepal, the lack of clear cycle law, and why cycling has long been ignored in national transport policy. The conversation explores what falls under the Cycle Act, why it was almost implemented, and how road infrastructure continues to marginalize cyclists. Dr. Shrestha also shares his personal journey into cycling, Nepal's rich cycling history and culture, and the idea of intellectualizing cycling through aesthetics, language, and philosophy. Key topics include whether Kathmandu can become a cycling city, how safe cycling is in urban Nepal, the role of research in retaining knowledge, listening to music while cycling, and why sustainable transport matters for Nepal's future. This podcast is essential for anyone interested in urban cycling, bicycle rights, road safety, and sustainable transportation in Nepal.

In 2005, Phoenix, Arizona was gripped by fear as two shooters roamed the city at night, firing at anyone they came across. Cyclists, pedestrians, people sitting in cars, even animals were targeted. There was no pattern, no warning, and no way to predict who would be next. The killers gave their spree a chilling name. Random Recreational Violence.As weeks turned into months, panic spread across neighborhoods. Police chased thousands of tips with little progress. The shooters seemed to vanish into the night after every attack, leaving investigators scrambling and residents afraid to leave their homes after dark.The case finally cracked when one of the men made a drunken confession at a dive bar. That slip led police to Dale Hausner and Samuel Dieteman, two men who treated murder like a game. Recorded conversations revealed casual planning, dark jokes about their victims, and complaints about not getting enough recognition for their crimes.At trial, the full scale of the horror became clear. Dieteman admitted to his role in the attacks and multiple murders. Hausner was convicted of six killings and sentenced to death. Phoenix's year of terror finally ended, but not before dozens of lives were shattered forever.This is the story of how randomness itself became the weapon.
OVERVIEWVO2 max or maximum aerobic capacity is your performance ceiling, but it is trainable and you can not only increase your VO2 max, but also the power you can produce at VO2 max, how long you can sustain that power, and the amount of work you can accomplish between lactate threshold and VO2 max. In Episode #285 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast", coaches Adam Pulford and Basecamp's Tim Cusick discuss how VO2 max training works, the workout specifics necessary to increase VO2 max, and how to turn training into speed for real-world performance. Topics Covered In This Episode:How VO2 max responds to trainingThe relationship between lactate threshold, FTP, and VO2 maxWhat to expect after 1-2 weeks of VO2 max trainingWhat to expect after 2-4 weeks and 4-8 weeks of VO2 max trainingHow to know when you've done enough VO2 max trainingVO2 max workout structure: interval duration, total time-in-zone, frequencyResourcesTim at Basecamp: https://www.joinbasecamp.com/tim-cusick Tim on IG https://www.instagram.com/tim.cusick_coach/Stress vs Strain: Difference Between Stress and Strain - GeeksforGeeks https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/physics/difference-between-stress-and-strain/Guest Bio:Tim Cusick is a world-class cycling coach, a leader in data analytics for endurance sports, an educator, and an innovative business leader.

Unpredictable cycles. Sleepless nights. Mood swings. Body composition changes. And performance that mirrors all of it. During the menopause transition, you never quite know which body will show up on any given day. As this week's guest menopause run and strength coach Becky Croft explains, you can still get stronger and faster, but it won't come from constantly pushing through or grinding it out. It takes smart planning, a different kind of periodization, and recovery that respects your shifting hormones and the cumulative stress that comes from this time of life. We dive into all of it: hormones, nutrition, hydration, strength, load management, and much more. Becky also opens up about her struggles with endometriosis, surgical menopause, and younger women in menopause can feel left out of the conversation.Becky Croft is a certified running and strength coach who specializes in guiding masters and menopausal athletes through the complex intersections of performance, hormones, and identity. After years of battling endometriosis and undergoing a full hysterectomy at 38, Becky entered surgical menopause as a younger, recreational competitive athlete—and quickly realized the resources she needed didn't exist. So she became the coach she was looking for. She is a Game Changers Coach and Mentor, holds certifications as a RRCA Run Coach, Girls Gone Strong Menopause Strength Coach, and Chi Running & Walking Instructor. Becky is the founder of hustle.run.thrive., where she helps runners of all ages, stages, and identities push performance boundaries without abandoning their bodies.

Our ligaments, tendons, and overall musculoskeletal system can take a real hit during the menopause transition, making injuries more frequent and recovery slower. Too often, practitioners still overlook common issues like tendinopathies—leaving women to live with unnecessary pain before getting an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. This week's guest, former pro triathlete and licensed massage therapist Jan Wanklyn, dives into the unique musculoskeletal challenges active menopausal women face, the soft tissue therapies (like ART) and exercise strategies that can help, and why she wishes hormone therapy had been an option back in her day.Jan Wanklyn, LMT, has been a massage therapist for 34 years.

Snakes in Pools and Magpie Attacks on Cyclists. Jeremy discusses the prevalence of snakes, noting that it is illegal to kill them, and they are frequently attracted to swimming pools, seeking water and warmth in filters or motors. He warns that even libraries are not safe from brown snakes. He also highlights an experiment examining why magpies aggressively attack cyclists more than other people. Retry
Grazing. Chronic stress. Poor sleep. Rushed meals. Sitting for long hours. Underfueled workouts. Estrogen decline. There's a lot more behind our fasting glucose and A1C than how many carbs we eat. This week we return to one of the most consistently requested topics: blood sugar meaning and management with Liz McKinney, CNS, LDN. We explore what glucose spikes really mean, why time-in-range and variability matter more than a single peak, and how stress, sleep, and even eating speed affect your numbers.
