Back then this chap was just COG BS 😉 he's come rather a long way since, now being lead coach at IPT Pro cycling team. I could do with some more of that input these days - getting old 🤣. All the best for the team in the Giro mate @thebigchainring @IsraelPremTech #GirodItalia

Friends who are runners/coaches/physios: I've picked up a minor calf strain: self diagnosed grade 1. How soon can I start to pick up some of the training slack using the bike? I've ridden this morning: certainly some discomfort/reduction in power available especially if I stand

For those of you using HRV as a tool (for life not just training guidance) this is an important factor to acknowledge: though it can certainly be a help, certain procedures must be followed. See Marco’s tweet to explain…

Short-term results come from intensity. Long-term results come from consistency.

Sadly this is all too common in far too many parts around the world. Certainly something i & many others experience almost daily riding in London #cycling
