What if the difference between staying stuck and leveling up was simply turning your goals into a game you actually want to play? Show Notes — "Level Up Your Life" In today's episode, Baylor dives into a surprising lesson from his first week of Ironman training and his introduction to the Zwift cycling platform. What was supposed to be an hour-and-four-minute indoor ride suddenly turned into an all-out international competition — flags from around the world on the screen, points on the line, and a virtual character to level up like a real-life video game. That moment triggered a powerful realization: If you find a way to gamify the hard things in your life, they stop feeling like chores and start feeling like challenges. Baylor breaks down why gamification works, how competition wakes up the best in us, and how to build "level-up metrics" for your career, relationships, fitness, finances — anything that matters. You'll learn why relying on discipline alone isn't sustainable, why some of your goals feel boring or heavy, and the simple psychological shift that can reignite motivation instantly. This episode is your permission slip to stop grinding blindly… and start competing intentionally. What You'll Learn Why gamification instantly boosts motivation How competing — even virtually — triggers progress The importance of tracking your own "levels" in life How to create metrics that show you whether you're actually growing Why people feel stuck even when they are improving How rewards create momentum (and how to pick the right rewards) The truth about competitiveness (and why you need some of it) A practical framework to make boring tasks enjoyable How to build a year that pushes you forward instead of keeping you flat Featured Quote "When you gamify your progress, life stops feeling like work and starts feeling like a level you're meant to beat."

Dit is de 247e aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast, over sport, onderzoek en innovatie. In deze aflevering hebben Gerrit en Jurgen het over:Hoe win je een virtuele koers? Over het geheim van racen op Zwift met Bob DickhoffINLEIDING:Iedereen kan trappen, maar niet iedereen weet hoe je een Zwift race echt wint.In de aflevering van deze week laat Bob Dickhoff zien welke racegeheimen recreanten over het hoofd zien. Van de harde start tot de kunst van perfecte timing.Je hoort hoe ervaren Zwifters hun power-ups bewaren, hoe ze het peloton lezen en hoe ze rust creëren in een race die nooit stilvalt.Als je ooit het gevoel had dat je sterker bent dan je uitslagen laten zien, dan is dit de aflevering die je nodig hebt.Vragen die in deze aflevering worden beantwoord: 1. Waarom is de start van een Zwift race zo bepalend voor je kansen op winst?De start van een Zwift race voelt intens, maar dat is precies waarom hij zo belangrijk is. Zwift reageert direct op vermogen en het peloton zit binnen seconden op snelheid. Wie dan nog rustig opbouwt, verliest direct de aansluiting. Een goede start betekent dat je al vóór het aftellen hoog in je vermogen zit. Zo val je meteen in de groep en kun je daarna pas stabiliseren. Zonder die aansluiting wordt winnen praktisch onmogelijk.2. Hoe bepaal je in welke Zwift categorie jij het beste kunt racen?Categorieën op Zwift zijn bedoeld om races eerlijk en uitdagend te houden. Zwift kijkt steeds vaker naar je vermogen over langere tijd, waardoor je eigen vermogensprofiel goed laat zien waar je hoort. In een te hoge categorie rijd je steeds op de limiet. In een te lage categorie word je teruggezet. De juiste categorie is de plek waar jij tactisch kunt racen, kunt reageren op versnellingen en een sprint kunt voorbereiden. Pas dan kun je groeien richting winst.3. Welke power-ups zijn het meest effectief om een Zwift race te winnen?De Aero Boost, Feather en Draft leveren het meeste voordeel op. De Aero is ideaal voor een sprint of een snelle groep. De Feather helpt op steile hellingen of korte versnellingen. De Draft werkt goed wanneer het peloton langgerekt is en het vermogen piekt. Het echte verschil zit in de timing. Met een goed geplaatste power-up overleef je kritieke fases en houd je energie over voor de finale. Slimme inzet van power-ups is vaak een belangrijk onderdeel van winnen.4. Hoe ga je om met de constante tempowisselingen in Zwift races?Zwift kent weinig echte rust. De koers beweegt voortdurend en kleine versnellingen kunnen grote gevolgen hebben. Renners die winnen reageren niet op elke piek maar op het ritme van het peloton. Ze schakelen snel en blijven rustig wanneer het tempo even oploopt. Door vaker te racen leer je herkennen wanneer een versnelling slechts een rimpel is en wanneer je echt moet reageren. Dat inzicht maakt dat je je inspanning beter verdeelt en minder energie verspilt.5. Waarom geeft parcourskennis zo veel voordeel in Zwift races?Veel routes op Zwift keren terug in vaste leagues en series. Daardoor ontstaan herkenbare patronen: punten waar het peloton breekt, stukken waar je kunt herstellen en segmenten waar iedereen versnelt. Wie de route kent racet met meer overzicht. Je spaart energie op de juiste momenten en je anticipeert op plekken die bepalend zijn voor de uitslag. Bob ziet dat sterke renners vaak niet harder trappen, maar beter voorspellen wat er komt. Dat geeft rust én controle.6. Hoe word je structureel beter in Zwift racen?Beter worden vraagt regelmaat, inzicht en feedback. Wie vaker met dezelfde groep rijdt ziet sneller wat werkt. De Slimmer Presteren Club op Zwift is daar ideaal voor. Je traint samen op je eigen niveau en ervaart hoe Zwift...

Brothers in Cranks świętują! Urodzinowy odcinek, pół miliona pobrań i śledzik torowy, który zbliża się szybciej niż karetka w tle nagrania (tak, pojawia się w odcinku). Piotr i Piotr odpalają mikrofony i jak zwykle lądują w równoległym wszechświecie, gdzie kot Mundek wygrywa z podcastem, a Dzieci z Bullerbyn są najtwardszym konkurentem do zaśnięcia.Na rozgrzewkę – podróż przez futurystyczne przepowiednie, które miały się wydarzyć pięć lat temu, ale najwyraźniej zostały w alternatywnej rzeczywistości. Potem wjeżdża temat botów, Twittera i kont, które niby są z USA, ale pachną Białorusią bardziej niż śledzik w grudniu.W sekcji technologicznej: Holobike – sprzęt tak piękny, że wygląda jak z lobby pięciogwiazdkowego hotelu, ale tak niewiarygodny, że nawet Zwift przewraca oczami. Oakley wypuszcza okulary za 2,5 koła, które… nie mają head-up display'a. Z kolei na stole lądują słuchawki kostne, o których Piotr mówi zaskakująco ciepło, choć zaczynał od „na pewno to będzie badziew”.Do tego gruby temat odchudzania roweru: od drukowanych w 3D piast, które potrafią pęknąć jak chrupki w dłoni sprintera, aż po filozofię „light, strong, cheap – wybierz dwa”. Gravel? Gravel nie istnieje jako jedna kategoria — to cały zoologiczny ogród kół, opon i koncepcji, o których da się mówić godzinami. I mówią.Jest też gift guide dla zagubionych Mikołajów: od serwisowania roweru w grudniu, przez plecaki, które przetrwają apokalipsę, po gadżety, które nie zrobią z was taksówki dla partnera, gdy złapie gumę 12 km od domu.A na koniec — teaser śledzika torowego, gdzie będzie można pojeździć, potestować, pomierzyć, posłuchać i wypić kawę robioną przez Staszka, który pojawia się w tym odcinku prawie tak często jak słowo „Pruszków”.

Pro Coach Sierra Sims (M.S. Exercise Physiology) breaks down the science and technique behind muscle tension intervals: one of the most effective ways to turn gym strength into real power on the bike.   Whether you're building your base, coming back from the off-season, or looking to climb stronger, these workouts teach your neuromuscular system to produce MORE torque and apply it efficiently across the pedal stroke.   You'll learn: ✔️ What muscle tension (high-torque) intervals actually are ✔️ Why low cadence is so effective for force production ✔️ How to combine torque work with strength training for maximum gains ✔️ How WorldTour pros use torque blocks from October–February ✔️ How to structure these sessions indoors or outdoors ✔️ Real-world workout examples you can try this week  ✔️ How to avoid knee pain and progress safely   Watch till the end where Sierra shows you two practical ways to perform these intervals so you can do them anywhere — on Zwift, on climbs, or on rolling terrain.

Sure, we've reviewed the fastest World Tour aero road bikes and the newest gravel machines, but what about an off-road capable folding bike? Variety is the spice of life, and Velo tech editor Alvin Holbrook has been getting spicy on Brompton's G Line, a bike that should be more capable than any of the legendary UK brand's previous offerings, thanks to larger wheels and much better tires and brakes. Alvin rode the G Line on his usual gravel test loop and reports back on how it performed and what type of rider it makes the most sense for. Would you wear AI on your face? Josh Ross has been in the shape of Oakley's new – and very expensive – Vanguard glasses that come with a video camera, mic and headphones, and a connection to artificial intelligence that's ready to answer *almost* any question you might have. Josh answers our questions, without any AI help, about what the Vanguards are like to live with, why they might have the best mic and headphones for cycling, and explains how they can actually cost less than buying separate glasses, headphones, and a camera. Levy has that new bike fizz after buying an Allied Able and shares some of his early ride impressions, as well as how it compares to his much-loved Santa Cruz Stigmata that he's lived on for the previous two years.

We chocolatized our life before this amazing episode! The main topic was a new study on elite marathoners measuring responses to different carb intakes, finding a 2.6% lower oxygen cost at 120 grams per hour compared to 60 grams per hour. It showed massive carb oxidation rates at high outputs. In 10 years, we might look back on this study as a game-changing moment in the science of endurance performance. And this one had so many cool topics! Other topics: Megan's biggest uphill treadmill threshold workout, David's Zwift racing, the strange connection between energy intake and iron deficiency, how hydration could influence stress responses, the predictive power of smiling in pre-race photos, Anne Flower's 50 mile world record, other records at Tunnel Hill, whether to walk onto the track team, offseason layoffs, race week nutrition, and AI messaging.Stick around for a beautiful affirming Listener Corner message!

Sean, Stef, John, Brent and special returning member Chris Greenland! talk about the week in Herd Racing plus Brent has thoughts about the new New York roads. Also a late breaking appearance by Steve Pritchard with ideas about how to use Zwift's new Brompton. Drinks, chats, racing glory (ish). Tune in and let us know your thoughts on the New York roads and Bromptons in the comments.

Tech editor Alvin Holbrook fires up Velo's crystal ball to make some predictions about what the road and gravel world might look like in 2026. He makes his case for peak tire width combined with improved casings, more integrated pressure-monitoring systems (and more batteries), Chinese gravel bikes shaking up the market, and the continued slow demise of 2X drivetrains. But is he channelling Edgar Cayce, or are his divinations more in line with Miss Cleo? Josh, Alvin, and Levy also discuss how prepared they are (or aren't) for a mid-ride disaster, and the crew describes their own go-to repair kit that they each bring on every single ride. Also, when is it best to just call someone to come pick you up? Want to join Josh on his Zwift group ride? See the info here. See more episodes of the Velo Podcast here.

This week, we take a detour from chatting about the 2025 season to talk next summer. The ASO unveiled the route for the 2026 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift last Thursday, and it has everything. Iconic climbs, a legit time trial, plenty of opportunities for the opportunists, and a leg-breaking circuit race to end the nine-stage week. One thing missing? Sprint stages. Abby sits down with Kate Veronneau to talk about next year's Tour, what they are excited about (everything), and Zwift's decision to continue sponsorship of the race for four more years.

This week on the show we welcome back Lauren Hall to fill us in on all of the recent happenings in the world of cycling. Lauren was on the ground at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift with the USA Cycling Foundation, and we get all of the inside scoop on what her time was like there. She then headed straight to Leadville to be part of the commentary team and the Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike race. Leadville 2025 was an epic day, and the three discuss all of the highlights of the day, as well as a few controversial topics. They then take a dive into the Grand Prix standings post Leadville, and how the standings will play into the dynamics for the rest of the season.Learn More and Register for our Feisty 40+ Strong Retreat: https://feisty.co/events/feisty-40-strong-retreat/ Sign Up for our 2025-2026 Winter Training for Cyclists Program: https://feisty.co/winter-training-for-cyclists/ Register for our 2026 Gravel Camp and Bike Mechanic School: https://feisty.co/events/gravel-camp-x-bike-mechanic-school/ Follow us on Instagram:@feistycycling @feisty_media Girls Gone Gravel Website:https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/ Support our Partners:Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code GIRLSGONEGRAVEL at https://www.previnex.com/

Send Me a Text MessageIn this episode of Cycling Over Sixty, host Tom Butler is already looking ahead to next year's cycling season while sharing his latest racing adventure. With the Tour de Cure Pacific Northwest still six months away in May, Tom explains why he's already planning for this spring event that he hopes will become an annual launch into the summer cycling season for Cycling Over Sixty. Tom also recounts his first cyclocross race experience – a competition that took unexpected turns but left him eager for more racing adventures.  His participation may have been different from what he envisioned, but he came away from the event looking forward to tackling more cyclocross events. This week's guest is Rob MacLeod, PhD, an accomplished cyclist and cycling advocate from Utah. Dr. MacLeod, a professor at the University of Utah, brings a unique perspective to the show. While his work in improving local bike infrastructure could fill an entire episode, Tom dives into Dr. MacLeod's expertise in data science and health analytics. The conversation explores how modern technology allows us to gather and analyze valuable health data, providing deeper insights into fitness and performance. With a lifetime of experience at the forefront of technological advancement, Dr. MacLeod shares his perspective on how data science is revolutionizing the way people can understand their health status. Whether you're interested in planning your next season, trying cyclocross racing, or leveraging technology to enhance your cycling experience, this episode offers inspiration and insights for cyclists looking to make the most of their time on two wheels.LINKSCycling Over Sixty Tour de Cure: tour.diabetes.org/teams/CO60Road Scholar Age Well: roadscholar.org/collections/agewell/Rob MacLeod's Cycling Page: sci.utah.edu/~macleod/bike/Thanks for Joining Me!

When Kate Veronneau started cycling, she was at a low point. Having to stop playing basketball because of one-too-many injuries, she never anticipated that this rolling coping mechanism would change the trajectory of her life. Now working as Zwift's Director of Women's Strategy, she's embracing the pivot to the fullest. In this week's episode, she talks about the power of alignment and following her passions, what it was like to build community during a global pandemic, and how she feels about the company stepping in as the title sponsor of Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Plus: What she's learned along the way, how she anticipates the sport to grow in the future, and how it feels to be a vocal leader (especially on the days she's not feeling so shiny).
