In a recent bite sized podcast I outlined the steps you could take to improve your swim performance. Today I'm discussing how to improve your cycling. Cycling is by far the biggest portion of any triathlon and so if you have a strong bike, that will enhance not only your overall time but also your ability to run well (as long as you don't push too hard on the bike). In today's bite sized podcast I outline some steps you can take to boost your bike performances in 2024, including: Why you should be realistic and consistent The importance of mobility and strength Ways to improve your technique Embrace group riding and improve your bike handling skills Test regularly to set targets and check progress Finally, I have some advice on the type of sessions you might choose and some guidance for the older athletes who feel they might be stagnating a little. I hope that by the time you've finished listening, you'll have a little more clarity and you can fine-tune your training goals for the winter. And if you don't like smashing yourself in every session, this episode provides other options available to become a better cyclist.

Matt Bottrill is probably the World’s leading expert on putting triathletes in aerodynamic positions on the bike, and helping them train in a way that makes them go fast on race day! A former 60x National time trial medalist, Matt now coaches and advises athletes like Brian Fogarty, Tim Don, Tim O’Donnell and Matt Hansen to name but a few. He also runs a very successful coaching and bike fitting service where he helps age group triathletes get faster and more aerodynamic on the bike. We talk about how you can go faster - using a power meter and heart rate monitor, training, body position drills, kit, tyres, wheels, clothing, and how to analyse power and speed data. He’s a wealth of information, and if the information in this episode doesn’t make you faster on the bike, nothing can!

This week we bring you a bike fit special, with Matt Bottrill - British uber time trial legend turned bike coach to triathlon superstars.Matt has worked wonders with the bike position and speed of triathletes like Lucy Charles, Will Clarke, Susie Cheetham, Matt Hanson, and Tim Don. He also positioned Lotto Soudal cyclist Victor Campenaerts for his successful attempt on the hour record.Ever wonder - ‘How on earth do people go so fast on the bike? Is it all down to fitness, or is there more to it?’ We talk about all the things that you can do to go faster - other than training. Clothing. Body position. Helmet choice. Head position. Hand position. Specific drills to help you hold that new bike position. As we’ll find out, all these things have a MASSIVE effect on how fast your power will let you go - much more so than most athletes realise. It'll take time to adjust to a new position- 6-8 weeks in Matt's experience. But once you get there, you're going faster simply because of your equipment choices and body position, rather than 'just' the training you're doing.You can find out more about Matt and his services at https://www.mattbottrillperformancecoaching.com/Show Sponsors:https://www.precisionhydration.com/ - Leaders in triathlete sweat testing and hydration, with multi-strength electrolytes that match how you sweat.

Our interview this week is with coach and nutrition expert Bob Seebohar. As you'll hear in the interview, we are going to explore trying to get more efficient with our fueling through periodized nutrition. Our guest Bob Seebohar is the author of Metabolic Efficiency Training and the Metabolic Efficiency Recipe book. We are building on our knowledge from the CU Sports Medicine work we did a few weeks ago. To be clear, this is not a "pivot" but a "build" on knowledge, adding layers of information to help you fuel yourself for success. Thanks to last week's guests, coach Matt Bottrill. Matt is the cycling coach for professional triathletes Timo Bracht, Lucy Charles, Rachel Joyce and Tim Don.

Please support our affiliate brands that support the show and help you get faster! The Halo Sport from Halo Neuroscience will help you learn the technique and form to get faster. You wear the Halo Headset for 20 minutes and use the paired app on your phone to do what they call "neural priming". The headset looks like Beats headphones, the top band has plates that you moisten. When you start the "neural priming" from the app, the plates conduct electrical wave stimulation of the motor cortex part of the brain which puts it into a state of hyper plasticity, which simply means that the brain can make neural connections faster and help you learn quicker. Motor skills rely on the brain to send signals to the correct muscles and parts of muscles in the right order. Through plasticity, your brain is able to ensure that your neurons are working together for a precise result Endurance relies on the motor cortex to repeat an action for an extended period of time. Each time you take a step, swim a stroke, or pedal a bike, your brain and your muscles consume energy. Via plasticity, your training leads to more efficient movements, reducing the energy cost of each action and allowing you to endure for a longer period of time. Strength relies on the motor cortex to ensure that your muscle fibers are contracting together and not competing with each other. Powerful output requires the coordination of the many thousands of neurons that activate a group of primary and synergist muscles. With plasticity, the brain learns to contract more useful muscle fibers and relax opposing fibers, allowing you to lift more.

Our interview this week is titled Brits in Boulder to celebrate St Georges Day this past Monday. Bill and I met with professional triathlete's Tim Don, James Hadley and Rachel Joyce at Ivan O'Gorman's bike fit studio just outside of Boulder and had a very casual interview and discussion. As you will hear we discussed a number of topics and are super grateful for their time and for sharing their time and perspectives as professional triathletes. Saint George's Day, also known as the Feast of Saint George, is the feast day of Saint George as celebrated by various Christian Churches and by the several nations, kingdoms, countries, and cities of which Saint George is the patron saint. Thanks to last week's guest, Dr. Inigo San Milan of CU Sports Medicine and Performance on the topic of metabolic testing. Last week was part 1 of a 2-part interview. There was a lot to digest in last week's interview and we much, much more to get to with Inigo. Because of the way the dates fell with St. Georges Day being this past week, we wanted to shift gears for a week and share the Brits in Boulder interview with Tim, Rachel and James. Next week we will return to the final half of the interview with Inigo next week. I'll elaborate further on what you will hear next week in part 2 - you do not want to miss it. Before we get into today's interview, I want to relay some updates from Bill and Khem, which we discussed this morning. I won't try to represent what they discussed this morning, but would like to share a couple of brief highlights. Bill is back from Haute Route San Francisco. Overall it sounded like he had an awesome experience, but Haute Route was no joke. After taking a ferry to the start, the first stage started from Jack London Square after taking in Oakland and was a 100 mile and more than 10k feet of climbing with Mt Diablo. Mt Diablo is a featured part of the Tour of California race. After they finished in Oakland, the racers took a ferry back to San Francisco for a good meal and massage. The 87 mile stage two started at the Presidio and rode across the Golden Gate Bridge. There was another 8500 feet of climbing and it sounds like it was pretty relentless, but pretty epic at the same time. The gist of what Bill reported was that it's a great experience, extremely well supported, but very challenging. Khem gave an update on the Karen Hornbostel Memorial TT. This was week four and the conditions were calm Wednesday at Cherry Creek Reservoir. There were reportedly a lot of fast times on the 9.5 mile course and Khem knocked nearly a minute off her previous week's time. There are three more weeks to go and I'm hoping to be out there next week with her. After the interview I'll go into a little detail on the USAT Collegiate and HS Club Nationals in Tuscaloosa. I'll also provide a little more on last week's interview with Dr. Inigo San Milan and talk about what you will hear in next week's episode and the information that Inigo has yet to share. Rachel Joyce has six top ten finishes in Kona to her name (6th:2009, 5th:2010, 4th:2011, 2nd:2013, 3rd:2014, 2nd:2015), a world title and four Iron distance titles (Ironman Lanzarote 2011, Challenge Roth 2012, Ironman Texas 2013, Ironman Cozumel 2013 and Ironman Boulder in 2017). Her finish time in Challenge Roth (8:45:03) also puts her down as the fifth fastest woman over the Iron distance and is one of only 4 women to finish in sub-9hours at the Ironman World Championships (8:57:28). London was “home” for 10 years but now Rachel has moved Stateside and lives year round in Boulder, Colorado. She has been coached by Julie Dibens since the end of 2014. Her ambition in the sport is to win Kona as well as tick off a few “bucket list” races she has on her list….Wildflower, Ironman Lake Placid, St Croix 70.3 and Escape from Alcatraz to name a few. James Hadley Originally from England, UK, has been an athlete for 28 years. He progressed quickly through years of hard work and dedication to race as a professional triathlete internationally for 11 of these years. During this time James has been taught by some of the best coaches in the world, whilst also training/racing alongside some of the all time great athletes triathlon has ever produced. He was accepted into Bath University and started training in earnest with the triathlon team. During a visit to Australia he met coach Siri Lindley, who was “instrumental” in motivating him to take his training to the next level. He moved to Boulder to train with Lindley and still lives there today. Great Britain's Tim Don posted a 7:40:23 at the Ironman South American Championship in Brazil on May 28, 2017 to become the fastest athlete to ever finish an Ironman-branded race. The former ITU star put together a 44:16 swim, a 4:06:56 bike and a 2:44:46 marathon to post the incredible 7:40:23 finishing time and break Canadian Lionel Sanders' record of 7:44:29, which was just set at last November's Ironman Arizona. In addition to the record, Don earned the championship victory with an astounding 25-minute margin over second-place finisher Kyle Buckingham of South Africa and will be guaranteed a slot for October's Ironman World Championship. Follow up comments about last week's interview One of the topics from last week was a reference to calculating of sweat rate. If you are unfamiliar with how to calculate your sweat rate, I recommend you read the blog article on the MHE Blog http://milehightripodcast.blogspot.com/2016/11/determining-your-sweat-rate.html The basic process is this: Weigh yourself prior to your workout Weigh yourself after your workout Note how much fluid you consumed during Note (generally how much fluid you lost through peeing) Maintain a spreadsheet. My spreadsheet has: Date Time Temperature Activity Duration (minutes) Weight Prior Weight After Weight Change in pounds: multiply by 16 to convert to ounces Fluid Consumed Fluid Excreted Sweat Rate in ounces USAT Collegiate Club Nationals in Tuscaloosa. The USA Triathlon Collegiate Club & High School National Championships are this Friday and Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with nearly 1,300 collegiate competitors from 120 collegiate clubs and more than 150 high schoolers registered to compete. There was a course change announced and now executed. All races will be shifted from a triathlon (swim-bike-run) to a duathlon(run-bike-run) to ensure athlete safety. Heavy rainfall in Tuscaloosa the past two weeks led to the Holt Dam spillway gates being opened by local officials to avoid flooding. Heightened volume in the Black Warrior River necessitated that the gates remain open through race weekend, resulting in overly strong currents that were deemed unsafe for swimming. Racing Friday included the Draft-Legal Collegiate Club Championships, in which athletes covered a 2.5-kilometer run, draft-legal 20-kilometer bike and another 2.5-kilometer run. The draft-legal format, which allows athletes to work together and pace off eachother on the bike, is similar to what is contested in elite International Triathlon Union (ITU) competitions and the OlympicGames. Some of the nation's up-and-coming multisport athletes will compete at the USA Triathlon High School National Championships. The course will cover a 2.5k run, non-drafting 21.45k bike and 2.5k run. High school boys, including two athletes competing in the Paratriathlon Open division The action continues Saturday morning with nearly the entire field of collegiate athletes competing in the Olympic-Distance Collegiate Club Championships. The course covers a 5.2k run, 40k bike and another 5.2k run. The race also includes a Paratriathlon Open division, which features a 5.2k run, 20k bike and 5.2k run. I enjoyed working with Caryn Marconi today. Caryn is USAT's Communication Manager and was doing an amazing job making sure all teams, coaches, media knew about the changes and handling all of the social media with her team. COO Tim Yount did and incredible job announcing today and you can tell how passionate he is about these young athletes and the sport of triathlon. He follows the progress of these athletes and he knows how to keep the spectators informed and engaged. Upcoming interviews: Part 2 of Inigo and metabolic training We'll hear Inigo's definition of training in Zone 2 and how to train to how to improve fat burning and lactate clearing. When you don't train properly in Zone 2, you are not training the Type 1 muscle fibers. When you don't train those fibers, they atrophy. When Type 1 fibers atrophy, you get reduced mitochondrial function and impair your ability to clear lactate. Accumulation of lactate results in H Ions affecting acidosis and muscle contraction We'll hear Inigo talk about target carbohydrate consumption at 10-15 hours of training per week - spoiler alert - it's about 3-4 g/kg We'll hear how chronically low glycogen results in catabolic effect, loss of muscle mass and results in higher cortisol and adrenal fatigue and even hypothyroidism We'll Inigo's theory on the relationship between Coronary disease related to inflammation; One of the things that Bill brought up on his Haute Route race was that his heart rate couldn't get much above 130 beats/minute. Inigo does an excellent job explaining what is happening physiologically that causes us to not be able to elevate our heart rate. The basic idea is that the brain needs glucose. If the brain senses there's not enough glycogen to share with the muscles and liver, the brain controls how much glycogen they get. It also reduces adrenaline production and adrenaline reduction results in lower heart rate. Tim Don's cycling coach Matt Bottrill on aerodynamic form. Matt is going to join us for an interview and get into just how many watts you can save yourself with good bike form.

Our guest this week is Dr. Inigo San Milan of CU Sports Medicine and Performance on the topic of metabolic testing. Last week you'll recall that I mentioned one of the reasons for "why" we do this podcast, which was our ability to have conversations with interesting and quality people like Josh Shadle and Dr. Jason Karp. Another reason that we do this is that triathlon and endurance sports have inherent complexities and things you need to learn over time. We are driven to learn and the content that we provide is really a bi-product of that passion for us to learn. Even after doing this for more than a decade, I continue to refine and expand my knowledge. Things that I thought I understood, I gain a deeper appreciation for or improved understanding. You are going to get an invaluable science lesson today folks. We are going to talk about CU's proprietary ultrasound muscle testing for metabolic damage and glycogen storage. If haven't been tested, then you are flat out guessing. I was astonished at what I learned. Plus, if you think going slow is for sissy's, think again. After you hear this, you are going to want to know our zone 2 numbers and respect them. Thanks to last week's guest, Josh Shadle of Fuelary. He'shelped us understand a more contemporary approach to wellness and performance. The more proactive approach tests in narrower ranges, more markers and more frequently to help identify wellness and performance opportunities. If you missed it, go back and listen to episode #121 Dr. San Millán is an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Director of the Sports Performance Program at the CU Sports Medicine and Performance Center in Boulder, Colorado. He is an internationally renowned applied physiologist having worked for the past 20 years for many professional teams and elite athletes worldwide across multiple sports like running, football, soccer, basketball, rowing, triathlon, swimming, Olympics and cycling including eight Pro Cycling Teams. He has also been consultant in exercise physiology and sports medicine to international organizations like the US Olympic Committee and the International Cycling Union. He has been a pioneer in developing new methodologies for monitoring athletes at the metabolic and physiological level including a novel method to measure mitochondrial function in vivo as well as the the invention, along his colleague Dr. John Hill, of the first method to measure skeletal muscle glycogen in a non-invasive manner using high frequency ultrasound. His areas of research, clinical work and interest include exercise metabolism, nutrition, sports performance, overtraining, diabetes, cancer and critical care. Brits in Boulder, Tim Don, James Hadley and Rachel Joyce. Franko Vatterott helped us get the trio of British pro triathletes together and Bill arranged for us to meet at Ivan O'Gorman's bike fit studio. We discussed why they chose to move and stay in Boulder. We talk about what it's like running your professional triathlete career as a business, keeping your edge, the future of British triathletes, and much, much more. Part 2 of Inigo and metabolic training Tim Don was sharing what he's been doing with his coach Matt Bottrill in the wind tunnel and on aerodynamic form. Matt is going to join us for an interview and get into just how many watts you can save yourself with good bike form.

Our guest this week is Josh Shadle of Fuelary. He's going to help us understand a more contemporary approach to wellness and performance. A lot of athletes are starting to be more proactive than the annual physical with their GP and getting the standard blood screening which tests within broad ranges of "normal". The more proactive approach tests in narrower ranges, more markers and more frequently to help identify wellness and performance opportunities. Thanks to last week's guest, Dr. Jason Karp who gave us helped with "The Right Way to Do Run Intervals". With his PhD in physiology, Masters in Kinesiology and a BA in sports science, he is about as educated as anyone in the field and yet he writes and conveys concepts in a way the ley person can understand. If you missed it, go back and listen to episode #120. One of the things I love about what we do is that we get to meet some very interesting and quality people. We were introduced to Josh by Will Murrray, our regular mental skills coach. Josh has a life story that I'm honored that he shared with such transparence and vulnerability. He has followed his calling and passion and is doing things that help regular people and athletes be at their best. Whether your goal is weight loss or performance they have tests and plans that are design to make you happy, healthy, and horny.
