NASKAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Greeting from ���� and ���� ����!!! Your channel is the best!!!!!!!!! Wooohoooooo
Very Useful for new track rider like me, Many thanks. FC from Thailand.
Nice video bro.. Really appreciate n very useful.. Will try it when I race this weekend..
+Global Cycling Network Hey GCN, what was the music you used in the background of this video? Good stuff!
Hello friends is they anymore tips to a guy new to the road cycling sport? Or any updated rules ect or tips on upgrading this bike I have if they are any other channels worth looking at would be greatful for recommendations thank you please comment below even if you are new aswel and have learned things would like to know and will be appreciated
Consering body position. Great Video and emails. Keep up the great work.
This is probably one of the best Riding Technique Video Series I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much Alberto. Love from India:)
Would wearing compression shorts under cycling shorts be a no no or are they ok?
I’m usually have good legs one or two days after e hard intervall.. Can someone explain this to me?
can make a video about suspencion technical Mecanics like about Oils for the forks and greases, that stuff for all kind of bike forks starting from post air forks till full air oil forks.by the way very nice tips i use them most of the time Here in Costa Rica we have very shaked turns and a lots of roads mixed up with trials and pre Enduro road trips well them thank very much/
Damn. You guys would end up in the bushes on my S Works Renegade 29×1.95’s
So, a hop to manual is a fundamental skill to know if I want to hop to manual. Fantastic information!
although yes adding weight to your bike will increase your muscle mass, and perhaps make your sprinting better, it still won’t make you better in fitness. Cycling never gets any easier, you just get faster. You add weight, you will go slower but produce the same amount of power.
I thought that Dennis’ advice would be to get to the feed zone before you leave your team so at least you can get a jam sandwich.
Tip #10: Always go commando. Always. Your nuts will appreciate this.
Great video no subtitles! I enjoyed your previous story how Franky Morbidelli gave you some good tips on body positioning. Very interesting.
Nice vid! Helpful tips… Now we know what to avoid and what to do ahhahahah
Hey Taren as always great video! I know you have mentioned it before…what are the thing you hang your bikes on in the background…or if anyone else knows please share!!!
Buy a bike that fits your ability. I can imagine nothing more embarrassing that rocking up on a TT bike with disc wheels and skinsuit, and then averaging 15mph.
You are the best.this is the result jump. this is very have important. i see dfrent 2 style.����������
Opies tip isn’t very useful for use mere mortals who can only hold 280W for about 15 mins
Zone 2, chain tight type rides for sure. They’re the only ones where you can enjoy the scenery. Also quite like a sweet spot session I tend to squeeze in, in the week, down at my local circuit in the summer. Possibly I only like this because it’s much better than brutalising myself on the smart trainer in the kitchen, which tends to be what happens all winter during the working week!
Hill repeats!! 35minute session or 6 laps of my local hill fluder hill in kingskerswell 3x per week, 1hr sweat suit sessions 3x per week on the turbo trainer and 3x 5k jogs per week! ������������♂️����♂️����♂️����♂️������
Hi Naska! What’s the best way to move your body (bum) from one side to the other during cornering? At higher and lower speed.
When I ride on trails, I always get my front wheel caught and slipping off rocks. How do is stop this???
I go with my friend’s in country side in Indonesia, Wonosobo well although the road is like normal road, the road inclined about 10 to 40 degrees 70% of the ride, the total trip is about 20km or more and when declined we got good speed to the way to home of course our home not far from there (i’m live in city but outside the city like literally it’s already country-side) so straight to our own home i’m 15 this may btw, and sorry for my english it’s not my native language
my trainer always says that riding with your knee out is not good. What’s your advice.
Hey idol! Iike the design of your shirt! Simple but very eyecatching�� hope i can have 1 someday
Wow you guys are cranking out videos faster than a chicken lays eggs. Good stuff guys!
Which Handlebar is harder to control? Flat bars or Drop bars?
Thanks for the screen time for female cyclists! Gotta show support!
Just got a 07 gt 3.0 I drive 5 off a friend who bought it a long time ago but got surgery so he gave it to me. It looks like a really good bike is it? And I’ve been practicing on some flat Terrain first and slowly working my way up hills and such. I love the bike I feel like I got a lot for 100 bucks
My secret is that I do recovery naps everyday, no more than 1 hour at a time, 10 times a day.
New subscriber here. Loving your content. Very good English my friend!
Dont follow the 80/20% rule. the less you train the harder you can go. the more you train the less of the time you should go hard.
Hooooray for the Canadian Guy. Taren is a good man. So glad you finally got to the true champions’ credo. Most Non Champions go too ‘hard’ on the easy days and too ‘easy’ on the hard days. Most people do this because they are not well rested for their ‘hard’ days, and are afraid to go easy on the ‘easy’ days. Now, if Triathlon Taren had placed Dave Scott higher on his top 10 list, he would have gotten to this earlier….LOL……Yes, I am a Canadian. Second, Taren is correct about what we called TITS back in the early 80s…..Time in The Saddle. Get used to your bike. If Taren had placed Paula Newby Fraser higher on his list, he would know he never has to do over distance RUNS……More quality bike miles, plus shorter quality runs when fresh….Booom……and now that I am listening to the finish of this video…..No…..almost no bricks. A few maybe, walk your way off the bike, then trot a little, then stride for 2 minutes….then stop. Do your runs when fresh and be FASTER in those. You are never coming off of an intense bike ride feeling anything but worked if you are trying to hit a PR. (Your taper period is how you get ready to push late in the race). Unless you are a pro, don’t do many bricks and recently even Monseigneur Lionel S. said the same…..for him. Taren, I think you are great and I check in with your vids every so often. I quit racing in 1983 after two Kona finishes and a few shorter ones…….Get comfy on your aero bars, we didn’t have dem thaaaaangs back then. LOL….. Over swim all you want, and like Mark Allen says, do a bike ride that spans your entire length of expected time for the race about once a month or so…..This is how he beat D Scott in 89. Your swim tips are great. Get wide if the beach allow, or just wait. Get in your wet suit for all the reasons you stated, plus you are gonna be faster and this will help your brain, lol. Also, I recommend that people who race in wet suits should train in wet suit pants. 79 bucks from Xterra in San Diego. What this does is bring our lazy positioning to a better place and approximates your wet suit times better…feels great, too. Mostly, it allows you to focus on your catch. pull and finish without any added stresses. I have had triathletes swim the exact same 100 times without kicking at all in wet suit pants. No surprises. Keep going Taren, you help many and have the right spirit for this sport. For fun and info, I am 63
years old………T
I want to see you take a average rider and apply the skills in your vids with him a step by step kinda thing. let’s call the rider IT short for ××it and let’s see how he progress. This would be good to see
Tempo Bursts. 10-20 minutes of tempo, with a 10 second sprint every 2.5 minutes. Floods the muscles with lactate but isn’t as painful as other lactate builders like over/unders.
beginers guide to mountain biking http://roadandmountainbikereviews.co.uk/mountain-bike-questions/
the tricks are sick i will try to do them on my mountain bike or my stunt bike
Of today’s news Rohan Dennis might use disappearing to train.
how do u guys turn so well.. i have the fear of falling if i bend to the side too much
IS anyone worried about his QR skewer not done up properly? at 01:30🙂 Safety first Taren x
Me I trained in the cafe
If you down that coffee quick you usually get a good 5 minute lead on your mates
Just be prepared for them to shout some rubbish about group rides and stuff like that
It’s pronounced Matej Mohorich (Mohorič) because us Slovenians have wierd letters that aren’t written in tdf etc.
BORING >> these two guys are dull, get the original guys back on please
What you said about beginners also apply to more experienced riders. So many group rides are done too fast that I’m doing them more sparingly now. I love the social aspect of the ride, but when I look at the data afterwards I’m thinking what the hell is this useful for. The only good thing is it’s a 3+ hours ride at least I know I’m building a nice endurance base no matter the intensity. And on the uphills you can get a lot of benefits from going out of your comfort zone.
thank you your english is very good! Thank you for the valuable information!!!
But theres 1 guestion that i want to know, when you wheelie you want the seat up and when hou want to do bhops etc you want the seat to ne lower so what is the solution for it?
Made the mistake of not making my long runs, rides and swims long enough last year. I also rarely did bricks. Corrected that back in september. thanks to your advice
11:53 oh yeah, I make a ton of mistakes in the first race of each year.
2 years ago in the middle of the season race, I left my cycling shoes in the car… Didn’t realize that until I was done with the swim, during the race ������… Rode the triathlon bike, which has clipless pedals, with my running shoes… It’s doing that you realize how much your feet, with clipless pedals, help control the bike…. There was no jumping out of the seat that day to sprint anything ��…
I’m having a ball with all of this.
I just watched 4 TT videos in zone 2. My new Monday night routine. ��������
I can no other answer make but thanks, and thanks, and ever thanks��
Best 2 training sessions on back to back days with decent base miles in legs:
1st session: VO2 Max efforts 4x 4 On 4 Off or 5 On 5 Off to a max of 25 mins of work.
2nd session (this one is great to build race-like intensity!):
2×20 minute intervals: 12 minutes SWEETSPOT straight into 8 minutes of fullout: 40 seconds on 20 seconds off(Tabata). 10 minutes recovery in between. Add another interval if you feel you can. I haven’t got there yet.
All those tricks are quite easy for me so I think I should copy
Intervals. 6x at 6 minutes each, with only 4 minutes of recovery in between. Do that on successive days, then have an endurance ride of at least 5 hours on day 3.
That’s a training session shared with my by a current national champion of a large European nation.
I’ve been able to increase the NP on my rides between 30-50 watts in only two weeks.
I absolutely love GCN. I first started watching their videos when i got my first MTB about a month ago. I was new to a geared bike. But now because of GCN i can shift my gears comfortably, burn a lot of calories and make my biking experience memorable. Even though India is not a particularly cyclist friendly country, i go for a bike ride everyday and follow GCN’s tips…. it’s like GCN changed my vacation time for the better… love you GCN!
A video giving tips on solo cycling when extreme cross-winds affect your safety. I have been blown in to adjacent lane traffic in the past & have ended up on the floor. Is it just a case of changing direction by 90o to get a tail wind?
Sir cam i have a suggestion. Can you also make a video tips about mountain biking? �� i hope you will notice my suggestion
Hello guys. Could you please recommend me a similar chaneel but focused more on supermotard/supermoto (could be in english, italian, french or spanish)?
Thanks Naska for all your info and videos.
THE BEST, motorcycle videos on YouTube. Straight to the point and VERY informative. Great job keep up the great work.
Hi Sam I am 10 years old I’m quite short do you think i would be able to do the wheely on a carera absis
Lean bike with legs, or countersteering? Left corner, you make all what you say and push handlebars on right. I watch movie by Keith Code California superbike school about how drive motorcycle on race track. I love see all your videos and you have my subscribe ��
Question how do you not descend on the drops? I would be scared to try it any other way.
Thanks Taren. I’m loving fulgaz with an apple tv, I think Zwift is hard to use for zone 2 training, fulgaz is easier for me.
Back in the 60’s hood we did wheelies on our 10-speed Schwinn racers. I had a 27″ Continental in purple. Paid $107 including tax. I think that’s less than the front fork on this trick.
Do you haven’t link where one may order some cycling
products?
Huuuuuuuh I can’t do every tricks bcuz my bike DONT EVEN have suspensions.
What brand of fork do you use on the white bike and the wheels?
I really love your vids, it make me improve a lot since I started to ride a bicycle again after 10 years out, amazing job, greeting from Peru
I really wish i had watched this 6 months ago… i have slogged out so much zone 3 training over the past half a year thinking that was what i needed. never too late to make the change. thanks for all the awesome videos.
Great help thanks it will help for my 1st triathelon be it only a sprint triathelon ��������������������������������
thanks for those tips. i laughed at commando. i thought every one knew that and my favourite is to look as you say in front. it has helped me when cars appear on a sharp corner. if you look where you should go. it helps.
3 minutes in, and still haven’t reached the subject matter. This is just meant as a tip for your future videos. Attention spans are not necessarily endless on Youtube. And my English is by no means perfect. Cheers from Denmark.
Secret training hackavoid zone 3 heart rate. Minimises fatigue from long rides, maximises benefit from short, intense ones. I’ve an ftp of 320 from 7.5 hours training a week.
Fantastic thricks!�� I can only do 1 the wheely.. Im going for a trail ride tomorrow with my cube mountain bike has good suspension.. And ik really exited to try a few trick! ����Thank you��
Did anyone now the model of the red tires that the specialized is riding?
You are very good at explaining these fundamental and often over-looked skills. Great Job!
I have a First Bike made almost entirly from iron and it’s pretty hard to jump and wheelie
Heres some secrets. They microdose PEDs and have phony therapeutic use exemptions.
Fantastic cam thanks for sharing I’m new to cycling and your videos helping
The last one surprised me, but it’s logical when you say it. Thank you
Alberto, you are fucking awesome. You address things that I haven’t had to address yet, but I know are coming up for me. Thankyou very much for taking the time to do your videos.
im not sure if i can ride with these tiny ass tiers im more into forest tiers
It’s quite simple.
Increase the weight, increase aero resistance, but maintain the correct geometry.
Then start training as planned.
Thank you for the easy but fundamentally very true information! How true go to track with a plan top focus on one small are ato focus on. And then it happens, out on track in learning mode and someone passes you and then its on. Red Mist and then everything you had the intentions to focus on are gone! Brilliant:-)
What about chris Froome didn’t he climb with his brakes in to stimulate a alpine climb when he was living in Kenya
A friend of mine when out training with weights on his bike for long rides
Great tips!!! I’m new in the Road Bike World.!!! Congratulations for the good videos.
Yaa just like Building a muscle memory �� thank u for Your Precious Suggestion
I just slam both my brakes when I’m going fast to do a 180 but it only does it because I got slick tires
Hello Alberto, i am currently living in Italy, i am just wondering which track did you go to practice? 20euros for renting the mini GP 10euros, that sounds like a great deal! Is it the Mugello Track? i hope to here from you.
Mistake of the week is the Thumbnail saying “Top 9” instead of the usual “Top 10”:-)
My previous comment should have read that such a video would br useful. I tried the high cadence thing this morning on the turbo. My prosthetic leg began melting at 105 rpm
yeah this is the problem i get. i think i go too hard on the bike and right when i stop to go running i feel faint. So i should do longer rides but not as intense?
I feel like i’m burning extra calories watching this. Does riding on the painted white line harm the tires? I move faster on the white line
3:12 ewwwww… nipple slip. Very bad Travolta…these are the things you just can’t unsee
Motor-pacing behind a moped sounds like a great way to breathe in lots of unhealthy exhaust.
“look where you’re going”, so important. I took my eyes off a bike path I regularly ride and had a bad crash that caused a grade 5 ac joint separation possibly requiring surgery….. Don’t be me!
Sir I’m a big fan of yours.I love your cycling practice.I do not have a bicycle to do that.sir can you give me a bicycle pizzz
