The paradigm of climbing an endless mountain paints the picture of an athletic journey that at points will be fraught with endless comparisons to other athletes, and devastating setbacks with illness or injury.

37: Training in Alignment

February 02, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour

The essence of what training in alignment looks like began to crystallize in my mind through an email exchange with a listener of the podcast. "As you've identified in your show amateurs look at pros for things like training, not realizing that all pros do is ride, sleep and eat. For those of us who race, how much training is too much. Where is the drop off in terms of results? Personally, I'm not willing to train 20 hours a week even if I had the time. Anyway, I'd be curious to know where th...

CA36: Understanding Functional Challenges of Time Trial Positioning

January 26, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour

Time Trial position is tricky at best. Contortionism is the most appropriate word to describe the skill you must be able to master if you seek to be the fastest and most aero in a time trial. Riding in a time trial position is an increased functional load when compared to road riding. The wider the handlebars, the wider the base of support, the narrower the bars, the narrower the base of support. This leads us into one of our first points about time trial, positional challenges and narrow ba...

33: Battling Saddle Sores with Don Powell

January 05, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour

So many of my clients have questions and run into issues about saddle sores, and man, when you get a bad one, it can be really bad. I have actually had a couple of clients that suffered so severely, they had to have surgery.  When you sit on a saddle, that's a lot of weight on a very small surface area. There's the weight of the torso, the weight of the helmet, the weight of the upper body, the arms -- it's all focused into this relatively small point. Then we add friction generated by the mo...

32: Unpopular Opinions on Group Rides, Riding Inside, and Hydration

December 22, 2020 12:00 - 59 minutes

31: Mountain Bike Fit with Julie Young and Travis Brown

December 15, 2020 12:00 - 2 hours

My friend and colleague, Julie Young, sent me an email asking some deep, thoughtful questions about fitting riders properly on their mountain bikes. The central theme was around steeper seat tube angles on many modern mountain bikes and how that it is challenging and sometimes impossible to get a rider's saddle offset far enough back behind the bottom bracket on a mountain bike to match their road position. This question has a lot of nuance and detail. I asked Julie if she would come back ont...

28: Thoughts on Bicycle Saddles

November 24, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour

Many riders come into the fit studio struggling with their bicycle saddles. In this aspect of bike fitting, the end goal is to have a saddle disappear, where you don't think about it for one hour, you don't think about it for three hours, you don't think about it for five hours, you don't even think about it when you get home. There's no chafing, there's no scarring, there are no saddle sores, there are no little pebble-sized cysts growing in your nether regions, which is unfortunately quite ...

21: Meditation on the Bike

October 06, 2020 11:00 - 44 minutes

"I think that it can be useful for us to think about moving meditation like a gateway drug, a way to step into a meditative practice. Maybe it will grow and develop into different ways. If you do it for a while, then you might be inspired to explore other paths of meditation. In my experience, working with different clients and different personality types, some athletes will start meditation and immediately dive very deeply into it; they just embrace it. It's something their soul has been cra...

This is the Meditation portion of Podcast Episode 21: Meditation on the Bike; uploaded here separately from the full episode for you to utilize with more ease. #1) First of all, we'd prefer ideally free to pick flat or mostly flat terrain, terrain that is not obfuscated with a lot of things like stoplights and potholes and people not a busy bike path.

11: Aaron Anderson Orthotics and Footbeds

July 28, 2020 17:21 - 2 hours

Your feet are a critical component to the cycling experience. Proper alignment between feet and body is one of the keys to both power and comfort on a bike. Because of the repetitive motion of pedaling, any issues you might have are compounded by the thousands of kilometers you endure, and you can quickly exacerbate poor foot pronation or supination. If not addressed, sub-par foot alignment can increase your risk of injury.  Today’s guest, an expert in this field, is Aaron Anderson, the foun...
