Awesome vid Jesse, would love to see a bit of a race breakdown from your perspective, and thoughts on what you might do differently or plan to do if you complete again next year.

This is the most valuable/informative video about cycling training or endurance training in general as I have ever seen! (and I have seen a LOT...) Few points stands out: 1. Frequency is over everything. To get fitter, the simplest/easiest approach is just, run/cycle/swim everyday. This is the most overlooked aspect of the training and is my biggest "discovery" of my own. I made the most of my fitness gain when I simply challenged myself to cycle or run everyday. It's more effective than anything else, like workout structure or even intensity distribution. Unfortunately cycling is too much time consuming that I couldn't "afford" to do everyday, but luckily running is very feasible. I now run everyday and the fitness gained from running everyday actually translate very well into cycling, it's more effective than when I only do 2-3 big rides (with complicated "training" target) every week and rest all the other days. 2. The volume is HUGE. We all heard the anecdote that pros training up to 20 hrs a week, but most sources couldn't reveal more. Your video is the first time that I actually have seen someone actually doing that in real life, with everything fully disclosure. This eagle view is so sick... That I actually have a hard time to believe when I saw your 20hr/week "build" and 27hr/week "sharp" phase. This is just... Insane... It's not something that you can do on your part time. It's a full time job. 3. We don't deserve it (400w FTP), and shouldn't worry about it. After seeing the time and effort commitment you put in there to "get back" that 400w, for the first time in my head the voice says "oh man you should let this go, it just doesn't worth it". I don't even want to do this anymore. However there's also a big relief, that if guys like you can only maintain a "321w FTP" when you are just living your life, then we normalings should be more than happy to just have something like 300w and enjoy riding. Really great effort into this and this video itself! Keep doing it!

Wow, managed to squeeze a wedding into a 5 months 27hr/week training effort. Good race result for sure! Kudos to you and your lovely angelically patient wife!

Incredible preparation and race Jesse. WELL DONE!

Sincere congrats mate! Nailed the training, the race, and the vid prep to bring this video content at the end of it all. Making Sydney proud! You scored with a sauna in the building, too.

So much value in this! Thanks for making the effort doing this video!

This is perfect insight thank you. Huge effort in editing too. Subscribed best of luck in your racing.

Great video Jesse. Very insightful. Appreciate you putting all this together and sharing it with us.

Thank you for those insights Jesse, really makes one appreciate the consistency and dedication required for one to be a part of the mix during road nats in a competitive country. Also, wow you are quite an athlete! Cheers from Italy

Great vid, really insightful. More please lol. Its motivating me to get back to previous fitness levels after a year or two of just ticking over

Great insights, thanks for sharing & congrats on the event!

Your (the) best videos on training by far. This is pure gold, simple effortless, natural and well built. Thanks for this you're truly a pro.

Excellent video, it’s great to see how you’ve done it and that it’s about simplicity, consistency and also knowing your body and tailoring to what you feel. Thanks for sharing all this Jesse 👍

Transparency at its finest. Brilliant and insightful video Jesse. Big fan of this channel.

Thank you so much for sharing! I love talking data. I greatly appreciate your transparency, including mentioning what was easy and what was hard.

Fantastic video! No wonder you did so well, thorough and thoughtful prep. Nice job.

Jesse really appreciate the effort you went to presenting the vid and thorough explanation. Hats off to you. I find it very interesting and just shows the effort you have to make at top national level.

Mate, that was a brilliant and extremely interesting watch. Really enjoyed it! Big well done on a first class preparation and execution!! Just a wee follow up from the Nero show and your 'what shall i do now?' I know its easy for me to say but you should capitalise on all those gains and see how far you can push things 😀👍👌

Great video mate, it was awesome to watch you progress. Top 10 next year knowing what you have learned this time around.

Thank you Mr. Coyle, No BS just straight to the point and a really good showcase study

Thanks for this video, so much more insightful than the sensory overload of most other training videos and you really boiled it down to the most important things and did mention why things worked for you specifically. Often people talk about doing 18 hour training weeks as if that is normal for everyone and forget that most people didn't have a previous 400 watt ftp, more like 200. Also quite motivational, I was thinking about the possibility to raise my 305 ftp (all time high) to 350 and wasn't sure if that was too much of a goal for a time crunched athlete, but this motivates me to just go for it, even with limited training time

Great video, can see all the effort put into it and great ride as well

My favourite video on your channel! Performance focus, personal experience, prep for a specific event. Top!

Wonderful! As a numbers guy, really appreciate the detail. You’re hitting numbers that are long gone for me (65 yo), but loved every second of this. Congratulations on your training and success!

Epic. Appreciate the effort you put into this

Really enjoyed that Video! Thanks for all the insight and details around the buildup and progression... Especially enjoyed the "taper" week.

Amazing Insight. Great work and well Done Jesse.

Glad to have learned a bit more about your training. Found my way here from a couple of the guests you've had on your podcast/other channel with your buddy. Appreciate you taking the the time to walk us through your training leading up to your A event.

This was awesome, thanks for the deep dive into your training.

Really liked this video, Jesse. Super useful insight into your training system.

This was a great video Jesse. A couple of things that stood out to me are the amount of endurance (I incresed mine this year relative to my 40 hr/week job), and doing intervals toward the end of your ride (I'll start experimenting with that).

I love this video! The dedication to train and weight loss has been broken down into small digestable parts that make it look doable, albeit with proper time management and rest. Bookmarked and something to consider following after my holiday trip this festive season (Chinese New Year)! Cheers Jesse!

Well done Jesse. Great dedication.

Fantastic job Jesse, thanks for the video and all the info. shared. Chapeau mate.

Great info, and thanks for showing us the bricks and mortar behind Nats' result

Was a pleasure watching you in Buninyong - thank you the video mate. Incredibly helpful info! Plan to give the fondo a real crack next year after racing it for the first time.

Definitely want to see the insight!! What a great video. Such great content and always a full of funny moments!

Excellent video and making me think about how to train for timetrails and long days out on the saddle

Love these vids Jesse. Great result at nationals

Really cool video and insight. Incredible work!

Really like the video and the fascinating insights into your training and preparation mate! I think the fact that you started off in mid-August with relatively low fitness levels shows that you don't always need to have your fitness at 100% the whole season, and that it is ok to take periods of rest in the season if your target events/races are several months away - assuming of course you already have a strong aerobic foundation from years of riding.

Truly incredible prep for Nationals and the result shows too!!! Well done. Almost 10k subs too!!

Now this is a quality video, thanks Jesse!

Thank you for showing your training experience and advices. I will try to do the same😉

Super interesting to see how its done. Thanks for posting and showing all these insights. Amazing the gains you got just in the endurance phase. Shows consistency is super important rather than big long rides periodically. 6.6w/kg for 7mins is super impressive! 5w/kg for the same duration is hard enough I find!

Really nice vid! Halfway through it I realised I had actually watched the aussie nats back in january, from Europe, as there were no other races broadcasted at the time. Well done!

Love these vids, great insight

Amazing info, thank you so much for your work.

Well done. A great ride - it's excellent you got the result after all the effort. And what a lot of effort! Congrats :-)

awesome video. Gives us all some proper insights, thanks for sharing

Hey Jesse! Really awesome video. Apart from the content of your training, which i completely agree with, I really think you did a fantastic job walking us through it and explaining us why you did what and how. Kinda made me want to sign up for your coaching ahaha 😂

Unreal content, so much insight so thank you! Would love to see you race the Warrny in a few weeks while you are strong

Fantastic video. Congratulations on your result and your wedding. Here's to a thousand years of happiness 🥂

Thanks. Will watch it again. So much usefull info.

Amazing video, so much good info. Thanks a lot!

Love this! Keep up the amazing Content

You sir, are a master of your craft! Love your dedication… you animal! 🤪🙌

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the share mate, very insightful

Super interesting. Thanks for putting it out there.

Great video Jesse. A lot of work definitely went into it. Really interesting and insightful. Is there anyway that you could do a short video and the supplements that you took and why? Performance and health benefits etc. Thanks again.

FANTASTIC video Thank you so much So much in-depth information. Really appreciate this

Brilliant info Jesse. Thanks.

Brilliant content. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, bringing detail on how you built up your pro level fitness in an very understandable way. Even though my fitness level will never get be as good (never!), it motivates me to think more about how to approach my MAML fitness. Thank you for that and taking the time to invest in making this video. It shows how you probably also approach your coaching. Looking forward to the next one. Only comment my wife had: does het really like it, since he never smiles 😊?

Great video thanks , really great insights.

Thanks Jesse. Super informative.

Hi Jesse. Just want to say I really enjoyed this video. Not many people make these videos and I think this might be a gap in yourube cycling. The insights and personal preferences aren't shared commonly. Just one point that I wanted to add with the cutting fibre the day before. I found that if I cut fibre out 3 days before the race I am able to loose 1-3kg depending how much fibre I've been eating previously day to day. Not only do I feel lighter, but I actually am. Maybe just something others might want to consider. Once again keep up the work!

great video and analysis, learned a lot !!!

Great video with lots of interesting information - Cheers!

Awesome work!

good stuff man, you deserve more subs

Top video. Really enjoyed it and very informative.

Great video, Jesse!

So much great information in this video. Very interesting.

great video mate shows what it takes to be up the top of the sport even at domestic level

This was awesome, thanks!

As a mere mortal who tries to dabble in racing this amazing. Congrats on the result.

Great result in the nationals!!

Yep a Super Solid ride in the Nats You and Herf in the same colours was Easy to Spot Great Effort not many Finishers A1 Congrat,s

Good job Jesse!

Great video Jesse. Really interested in how in your initial 10 week phase you had no time off at all. You mention the recovery aspect around 6 min but I'm really interested if you could go into even more depth on your approach "recovering as you go"

Great information and video... Thanks

Thanks Jesse!

Kudos for making this video.

I’ve never had any formal road training or coaching in 20 years of cycling, still rode the amateur Roubaix, just love riding your bike.

You 'talk the talk, walk the walk', a clear demonstration of commitment and effort which brought about a very successful outcome. how many pro teams in that race had failures on the day, hot heads, poor tactics, maybe riders who just didn't prepare as well, the wrong mindset, where here you are a one man band, supremely prepared, don't be surprised if you get a call from some pro team outfits who want you to coach their riders. Just shows unless you can demonstrate what you say just shut up.

Awesome video. Thanks

Lots of details and interesting ways to train. I think this is the 1st cycling video about an event that never said the exact result. I guess you were pleased with whatever the placement was, so way to go!

Mint vid. Thanks Jesse

Thanks for the insightful video. Are you going to attempt the 5-2 Nils van DP structure next season? Would be interesting to see how that sort of structure would compare to the "normal" one.

Really good watch, think this type of video is a real sweet spot for you given your training, nutrition & coaching expertise. Having seen the bathroom picture I will never moan again about my garage being too hot to train in!

What a great little video, and woow

thanks Jesse!!

This is good shit! Thanks mate appreciate it

Awesome stuff, thanks for putting together and sharing! Would love to see how to set up a similar optimal training plan but for those of us that can maximum set aside 10 hours of training per week.

Crazy volume mate. Congrats.

Oh man I needed this. Racing 1 month away and got sick. Ftp 345... trying to get to 360 about same weight as you. So frustrating. Going to do what you did.

This channel has offered a lot of the specific type of content explaining what it actually is. Like with fueling. Plenty of videos about carbs and how much but so little about what people actually take to a ride. All this theory but no practice. I'm a mountainbiker looking to apply actual effective training into trail riding. There's so much more knowledge available compared to 5-6 years ago. Have been actively watching content for about 6 months now and I have a pretty good grasp on how I need to ride for results.

I really loved this video👍 Is there anything you would have done differently if you could do it over again?
