What about drunk or distracted drivers?

And don’t destroy the beach paths where kids are walking

Outstanding video! Thank you.

What are “metabolic intervals?”

Wonder what brand Ben's jacket is, looks cozy!

For the topic of sunscreen: One thing most people forget are their lips. Usually don't get sunburned, but longterm exposure ,during long rides especially, can lead to damage (constantly cracked lips etc.) and significantly increase risk of skin-cancer. There are lipbalms with spf which I recommend.

"Avoid always riding in social situations" Trust me, that's not gonna be an issues

Brilliant! Way better than the clowns on GCN!!!!!!

Make sure you check the weather before heading out for a long ride. Also make sure you have a back up plan in case of extreme or dangerous weather, I got out of a severe thunderstorm that hit my area because I had someone I could call to pick me and my bike up. Be safe out there

Gracias, se ve muy bueno el entreno

Question 🙋‍♂️ For the 30/30s or 40/20s etc. is it better to: A) Target the effort that one can sustain over the duration of all repeats, e.g. hit 500W for every one of 10x 30s repeats or B) Go as hard as one can for every single burst risking that the first effort will be done at e.g. 700W but the last one at only 400W?

i agree with the no chamey cream...never used it never needed it im gonna use that sewing kit advice...il think il grab tiny spool of kevlar fishing line for that tho

The 6 session is do for only 1 day? correct me if I'm wrong

Really Nice tips for me that i am starting on road bike🙌

I have been dreaming about something similar. Such high quality content, thank you!

Brilliant tips for us beginners, thx so much

quebelleza enamoradooooooooo

Tip #1, buy a $200 rear light lol

What a video! 10+bravo!

Christ you talk some 💩 before it starts

Listen to him everyone. These several lines said by him can save your life. Remember them like a pro, like boom, straight on top of your finger tips.

5:52 Your voice sounded demonic for a couple of seconds

Thank you very much for posting this great video about training. For those of us who don’t have a power meter but rather use a HR monitor, how can we follow the FTP instructions? For example: how do you convert 115% of your FTP into HR figures (aprox) or perceived offort? many thanks, again 🙏🏼, cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina!

Great information. Thank you very much. Can you explain in more detail the periodisation graph at 23:25 (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nteKeNln3rPLYac.html) ? I see the values grow, but by how much exactly (percentage of current ftp) ?

Learning no hands is actually really nice as I feel it makes you WAY more in tune with the balance of your bike and how to control your bike better even when holding the handlebars (riding no hands is pretty simple, sit up and put all your weight on your saddle, like all of it, that will be your stability as well as the nose of the saddle between your legs, you turn no hands by leaning using your sit bones be careful doing this though and take wider arcs than normal so you don't have to lean as much, only do it once you are confident in just riding no hands on a straight. Also pedaling helps keep you stable, easier gears are preferred, keep it light but smooth too light and you will be unstable, I know it may feel weird at first trying to pedal no hands, just keep at it).. On top of everything else he said in the video!

Will a light on the helmet work

Thanks Tristan for this training plan. I finished this 28 day plan a couple of weeks ago and followed it with my first sportive. My FTP started at 216w and its now 242w, super happy with these results!

The bike is quite cool. But decathlon needs to have a lot better service. Only a few service points in Germany. To get your fork in the right length you need to get the bike to your local shop and they sent it to the service point. Way too complicated.

The light switches should be on the inside so the person in the room can control the lights. Anyways, hello just tuning in a year late to watch this video, I am thinking of doing my first big gravel 90km ride in a few months in NSW Aust, the Dirty Detour, so watching so many videos to get tips and tricks. So hello, my name is Chelsea and I wanted to say just watched a few of your videos and I am enjoying them. Cheers Chels c:

58/44?!! 44 the smallest!? hot damn that's some legs

I never stand when climbing a hill... is that something I should be doing? It seems counterproductive since you say we shouldn't "surge" and we should keep a consistent power level. Standing shoots up the power level and wastes effort.

60...58...44 on hills...omg

Tristan, not sure if you will see this months later. John mentioned that he'd usually decrease volume while intensity increases. Can that be applied to this routine in a beneficial way? I'm only doing 6-8 hrs a week right now. And at this low of volume is no intensity necessary in a recovery week? I've seen some folks say do half volume and half intensity duration regardless of routine. Others like John suggest easier riding first 4 or 5 days then start to ramp up. A bit confused there. Would be awesome to hear him discuss more about periodization and recovery.

I don't understand what "relax your shoulders and elbows" means. To me, this always results in less weight on hands - and thus my lower back has to support my torso more. This results in nasty lower back pains after just 3-4 hours of riding (and I ride marathons, so I need to go for 8+ hours a day..)

Excellent, no questioning of the training plan required when John Wakefield is the coach! Keep them coming!👍👍

Finally Ben is back at the Giro. The Giro 2020 was the race that saved his career, after it nearly seemd over...

swisside need to get it together and have a 30mm or 32mm rim

One think I would recommend (supplementing the bike fitting) is a good bike saddle. Most standard saddles are ergonomically subpar - too narrow, no pressure relief in the perineal area (numbness, anyone?), too hard (or too soft),...

Bigger chain ring is not just about bigger speed. It is also about that you can use bigger ring in back for the same speeds which is more efficient..

my bad habit while commuting is being easily distracted. due to how slow my bike is, i i get pretty distracted and unaware what’s in front of me. luckily i haven’t had any accidents.

Amazing shot at 5:05, congratulations !
