Hi Ollie, great ride on the F11/10, and thank you for sharing what you did, especially the training. I am trying, in my 50s, to beat (with “all the gear”) the club record I set on a steel-frame road bike without tri-bars etc back when I was a teenager. I didn’t get into the Hemel Hempstead event you did the 18 in, but I rode Tring a month later in the VTTA event and got just 24 seconds shy of my lifetime PB!

Congratulations on completing your TT mission, Ollie! 👏 I noticed you were wearing your Whoop during one of your indoor sessions. Is this your main source of heart rate or do you also wear an additional HR sensor around your chest? I was wondering what the variance is between the two and what you make of it. Maybe you could do an in-depth video on Whoop for training specifics like this @gcntech. Personally, I don't use the wristband on my Whoop for training, but rather the arm sleeve, which gives me much better and more consistent HR data. Wondering what your experience is.

Congratulations. Could you please make a video series where Ollie builds a budget TT bike? I think it's fair to say that most people can buy at least the helmet and skinsuit or get something tailored; however, that bike is financially unrealistic, honestly. If you get the position the same, then you could do a video to your time and see how much the technology can help. This video could then offer a list of upgrades in order in terms of cost performance.

Minor semantic correction, power above threshold up to VO2max is not anaerobic (according to San Millan), it is a historic misnomer, there is plenty of oxygen, its just fast twitch muscles producing lactate due to poor aerobic efficiency. I sort of can confirm that (N=1), my O2 uptake goes up perfectly linear with power up to MAP (maximum aerobic power). BTW, Coggan got this one right calling Z5 VO2max zone and Z6 aneaerobic zone. It's really amazing how historic errors persist in all areas of life. The fact that you have to go harder on slow sections and easier on fast ones is not really news either. Minimize the time you are below average is key.

Idea for a future GCN challenge video (would involve GCN worldwide - not just UK). So the idea is to take an iconic ride from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia, North America & South America (so 6 rides) This would be split as 4 hill/mountain climbs and 2 flats. There would be teams of 4 riders - so there would be two riders from each team doing a double ride Flat route is a minimum 40k Winning team completes all 6 routes first. rules. the same person from each team cannot ride both flat routes The routes can be ridden in any sequence, eg hil, hil flat, hill, flat hill however the next ride can only be started after the previous rider completed their turn would have to be done on an indoor platform such as rouvy and the starting time could be chosen randomly so that there is no bias towards UK or European operatives
