FASTER Cycling

• Matching Breathing Rate to Cycling Cadence and a VO2Max Masterclass

  After a recent podcast with Jim Martin we discussed the idea of matching breathing rate to cycling cadence and how it creates more efficient cycling. In this episode of FASTER we talk with Dr. Andrew Sellars about breathing rate and cycling/running cadence. It's one of my favorite episodes in a long time and I highly recommend listening. Andrew's knowledge as a coach, his background in physiology and muscle engagement in the pedal stroke along with his deep knowledge in human breathing make for an episode that will surprise you. Listen to this episode to improve your breathing so you can become faster.

• TrainingPeaks Virtual and Making Virtual Cycling More Realistic

  If you've ever ridden on a virtual cycling platform you may immediately notice that it's not representative of real-world cycling. When you come out of a corner on the road you have to add watts to the pedals to speed back up. Most virtual training platforms end up acting more like a spin class. George Gilbert set out to correct this process and founded IndieVelo in 2022. A short two years later his company was acquired by TrainingPeaks and the product has been renamed TrainingPeaks Virtual. Listen to this episode to learn how adding real-world physics to your training platform can make you a FASTER cyclist when you get back on the road.
