Winter Bike Training: The Key To Summer IRONMAN Success

Thank you for this amazing content again. This is by far the best content for age group athlete! WAOW

I kinda have big legs, I now feel affirmed that my lower cadence is normal. Thank you 🙏🏾

I see so many sources trying to redefine and adapt the 20’ test or the FTP concept to each discipline. Any FTP test is the maximum power for the determined amount of time. Either it’s 20’ or 2x8’ or 60’. There is no indoor trainer ftp nor tt ftp possible. If outdoors on an uphill road bike you manage 200W for 20’ and indoors on the tt 190. Your ftp is 200W. You have to adapt your training intensity around it. If you train indoors where numbers are harder to reach, you have to look for lower numbers indoors. But the FTP remains the same.
Hope this is constructive to anyone learning about training by power.

Is strength training important for Ironman preparation or can you get that all from the bike, thank you

I'm a little confused by what 'age group athlete' means. Can someone explain?

I have been doing almost nothing but long base rides the last 2 months and I've definitely seen my gains diminish. I'm gonna start following your 1 long ride + 2 interval sessions per week advice now that I have built my aerobic base. I think this will leave me with plenty of time to get good at swimming and running. Just bought some warm winter kit and I'm waiting for my TT bars to arrive at the bike shop. Unfortunately it snows quite a bit at my location so I'll have to go one or more months without riding outdoors, but I'm very excited to see my gains with the trainer.

I love these winter sessions and still use them and other advice years after working with Rob. Top man and a great set up for anyone looking for coaching. 👍👍

Do you recommend any bike computers that’s good enough for Ironman wales, thank you

Man this is turning to be my go to channel when i feel i cant figure things out. Ive commented on other videos of yours but the more i watch , the more i understand you know what you are talking about. No fluff, no crap, no magic pills. Having the experience my self,i had to figure all these things out myself by trial and error , and i can tell what you are saying comes from deep understanding of the sport. The way you relay information is amazing. You could have made an excellent school teacher . I just followed you on instagram and wish you all the best with the growing of the channel. Its well worth it
