Do you know anyone at Harries that can give an update on the ladies race happening now?

A higher CTL is not a guarantee of an improved performance. The dose-response relationship between training load (e.g. CTL) and performance is not linear. Pay attention to how your training volume and intensity is distributed and don’t simply, ‘chase the blue line’

If you feel that Constantia Nek road coming up from HB side is a life threatening risk for cyclists then RT. Needs a road verge installed 25 yrs ago already. What is going on there that this hasn’t been a realisation City of Cape Town Premier Alan Winde ?

capeepic veteran and Science to Sport coach, Michael Posthumus has some valuable advice for stage 2, following the infamously brutal stage 1, today.

Matt Beers leads the pack up a short hill, Speed Factory Racing, BUFF-MEGAMO chasing. Beers is looking back for Blevins who is mixed up in the dusty scrum. Talk about starting like a house on fire. #capeepic #untamed

Still not a single word from City of Cape Town Geordin Hill-Lewis Premier Alan Winde

A quick thread on athlete monitoring in cycling: High quality & meaningful monitoring requires a combination of internal and external load metrics. Why a combination?…

A very good thread! My tip is to pick a few valid methods for internal&external load and apply those consistently. Consistency&simplicity trumps the newest&fanciest occasionally used metrics. For consistency it is crucial that athletes&coaches buy in to the metrics used.

MSc student, Tim Klein collecting metabolic gas data in trained endurance cyclists. The study aims to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of multi-modal, periodised, resistance training on cycling economy, cycling performance and maximal strength in trained cyclists.

Our cycling symposium has started at SASMA #IFSEMC Prof Michael Posthumus kicking off with some novel data on training load metrics.

This is the first time data is being presented that validates our Submaximal Fatigue Test (SFT).

This tweet is exactly what is wrong with Genetic testing. Sorry Alan, but knowing one genotype is completely meaningless. Unfortunately we have only scraped the surface of starting to understand the complexities in action here

MASTERS LEADERS SURVIVE MECHANICAL SCARE Aged 40-49, Masters Men is the largest category at the capeepic. Winning it is a big deal, which is why the drama that unfolded for the Masters Category leaders on Stage 4 at Oak Valley is a tale worth telling. treadmtb.co.za/cape-epic-mast…

One of the most important performance concepts: Our brain is predictive. Poor performance is often the result of getting stuck in a bad predictive rut. Stress, pressure --> Fear, catastrophizing --> Avoid & protect coping/actions. To get out you have to...

The biggest mistake coaches make is by trying to justify their existence. The majority of training session should be boring, “easy” and not include structure.
