Dude this video was really interesting , I think you should do more training programs they make some killer content 🤙

Very well timed video for me. When I was 18 I used to race and had a top 3 time on a local 10 mile tt. Then I broke my back and had 2 yrs in a wheel chair and 8 years off the bike. I’ve been riding again for 2 years and my fitness is just starting to get good. I’m heading back to where I grew up on Thursday and am going to try and beat my 18 year old self on that same race. Been getting my position dialed in the last few weeks. Really enjoyed the video. Has me more stoked up to go then I already was!

On day 11 you’re complaining about not having anything on the legs. But on day 10 you decided to do a race instead of recovery.

FWIW I've had it happen to me and done the same. Sometimes it's just about psychologically showing yourself you are strong. I had nothing in my legs thur, sub 1k watt sprint, did 1236w SEATED last night. Mentally being on point is just as important as physically

Not a Vegan or a racer but I never miss your video's as they are some of the absolute best online as they are both interesting and funny. I really enjoy them.

I really, really, really liked this particular video. Great stuff always, but this one was a step up.

Love these training plan type of videos! Please do more of these!!

Really enjoyed this video. Spent 2 hours setting up my time trial bike properly now, feeling inspired to get in the hours in the aero position after this!

I've never been so interested at such a long video i was riveted the whole way through awesome that your aero gains were so palpable

This was a great video. I enjoyed the balance of a technical training video with VC flair of course. Keep on

Great run through!! Zwift really is great! It has made me fitter in the winter during “off season” than the summer months. Haha

Undergoing the transition from being used to a road position to TT position right now. I totally feel you. The beginning is so accurate haha

Really enjoyed this video T!!! Well done, what an improvement over such a short period of time! Have been doing TTs for a few months now and like it a lot. Got 8th last Saturday with 45.2kph av over 22kms. Am curious if you'll keep this up. Perhaps it really suits you, I guess so!

Tyler i totally get what your saying and unless you try it and apply yourself you won understand. I watched your video and thought exactly and even the zwift races thanks

Great video bro, they really inspire. Totally sympathize with the "pain" of a TT fit, def a lengthy process, no fun. Glad it became fun in time for you.

Awesome vid!! Love that you share the training plan with us!!

ALWAYS enjoy your training videos...very helpful

Bro, that outro was on point!

Brilliant - great job 😊

good job. good vid. a week of tapering before race might be another useful trick. saving your matches for your tt stage could give u another boost. but its good you gave yourself for the team the stage before. i understand your team gets two chances to win when you go into a break and go full hero mode. next time they can give you the limo ride all day the day before the tt.

Sick outro track! Love it :)

Great video. In trying to do a TT and these type of videos are really helpful. I feel that road race is out of my league, but might be able to do. TT.

great video, looking at doing TT's so this was good inspiration

The relative openness of the hips is what affects your power on the TT bike. It is very different between the two types of bike. Could have been your position above the pedals on a bike not fitted to you. You should have a TT saddle which is positioned right below the sitz and really only supports you (boys are way out in front). Recommend the pigeon for TT position. Stretches gluts at the same time. Work your way to laying flat. Works. Pedals by Garmin? Work as designed (poorly). Congrats on the KOM. If you are going uphill, how did that work on the TT? Rocked the 10 miler. Love your videos, keep them coming!

GREAT WORK!!!!!!

Great Vid! It might interest you to know that in the UK the amateur 10mi TT National Champs was Won in 2015 on a bike that cost less than £1000 & no power meter, computer or HRM. So often riding on feel can sometimes be better... sometimes

Gj, sounds like time trial has good carry overs for overall fitness. I see some comparisons between your 2 week program and how I train in powerlifting. Just watching these videos is helping me get the lingo, abbreviations, typical racing environments and conditions... all helping me on my road bike journey. I could have had a road bike over 10 years ago but didnt have the 900 bucks cash to buy it, stuck with mountain biking since then, using a hybrid bike now. It sucks but I'll use what I have.

Really interesting video.

@Brainjock like they hour record but for 24 hours. Whoever rides the furthest in 24hr wins.

T - regarding "ball placement", just continue to tweak that ISM saddle. A tiny tilt angle adjustment can result in a major improvement in comfort! I don't even own a TT bike, but have been demo-ing several of their saddles, and am a true believer in their design concepts. I think it was Phil Gaimon that turned me on to their stuff when he started his video series a couple of years, right after I'd purchased my road bike, and was having comfort issues on the saddle. Give more than one model a shot, and don't be afraid to experiment with setup.

Try watching TV or reading while in an areo position. When I first started tt position, I couldn't do more 20 mins, now I can do 112 miles at 90% tt. Core works helps a lot. As for the balls issue, I don't actually sit on my saddle, I balance my bum on the beak of my time trial saddle... otherwise, after 4 or 5 hours, you can forget about any more kids

I’ve found a lot variation for power irl vs Zwift especially in Intervals in Erg mode.

Bruh ..!! U could have told us this was a Zwift commercial. Lol. Playin. I agree

Nice job on the improvements and thanks for the video! Can you share some of the stretching/yoga/mobility work you did to improve your position? It seems like off the bike work is a big factor on a TT bike (or even when getting aero on a road bike).

Tyler - Awesome video man. Couple of things I noted. #1 you should have done/should do a FTP test (just do a ramp test bro) in the TT position to determine your correct FTP for that position. As you noted you couldn't hold the prescribed power as the position is so much different. Proper zones is going to allow you to finish those workouts. #2 I'm not so sure that bike is too small. Before you buy anything get a TT fit by someone that does TT fits. Everything I've heard is that the TT bike is generally a size smaller than your normal road frame size. But again...if you're going to drop that money get a fit first and make sure you get the right size and are in the best position to make power and be aero (and are legal in case someone decides the KZread hero should have their bike checked). #3 when are you coming to PA to visit your coach? Turns out he lives 2 blocks from me and Erin is on the race team with his GF (trying not to name names here). If you happen to come around Oct 6th my father puts on a hill climb TT I'd LOVE to see you smash. Hell I'll pay your entry.

VC training down in the dungeon! Hard to the core!

Kick ass dude.

yeahhh you got 100k subs!!!!!

Yo Dude, I love the videos you make. I gotta say, you have such a gift in going deep and your numbers are impressive, but I feel like you don't get the results to match? From your racing videos I've seen, you love being active at the front of the race and always seem to be going off the front. I wonder if you conserved yourself better and race smarter, you'd have more results by now? Reminds me of Lance Armstrong's 'It's Not About The Bike'. He mentions wanting to tear the legs off his rivals but that meant he always used to go too early and blow.

I have zero sprint. So sitting in at a crit or flat road race gives me a zero chance of winning. I am more of a domistiqe than anything

Could you post the details of your program ? number of set , / series / time off / work time / effort level ?

That power2max classic is a bullet proof power meter

When are you and Cam going to Zwift race again?? 😎🚴🏻‍♂️🏆

After watching those old clips of the early days of VC, You look your best today. Kudos bro. You can clearly see that Vegan Glow radiating from you. Amazing changes after 5 years of vegan. That's when most of the metabolic damage has repaired itself and the real gains kick in. May not have a 5 w/kg FTP, but you feel amazing just living clean. Btw, showing up for races in the van is the shizzz. I couldn't have it any other way!!

Hey VC, when I’m doing like a max 5-10min effort I keep getting a stitch, no matter the gradient. Not sure why this is, because I know I can go harder but I keep getting a stitch at around 180bpm after 5mins effort, but my max is 195 bpm, any tips as nothing seems to work. Is it just due to the effort and my fitness isn’t there??

Question: where can I find that TT training plan in Training Peaks? Something to try over the winter, to increase baseline power output, for my Triathlon efforts 😉

Can you please make a video with an honest review of the giro vanquish helmet?

Great video man! But I don't get that bento box thing. Why didn't you take it off? Or did I miss the information in the video?

Hey vc!great video!A zwift race is considered endurance or intervaled training?

That bike actually looked pretty good on you fit wise. Smaller is lighter and it allowed you to have a more forward position. Some time trialists actually prefer smaller bikes. Just saying. Great video thanks!!

Awesome video! Stupid question, but isn't your cadence on the lower end?

So on the road bike I like to spin high, but in the TT position its so hard to spin fast and not rock all over the place. Towards the end I got better at it but still liked a cadence around 70-80 in the TT position.

Planks a good place to start and superman pose.

27 mph for 10 miles sounds amazingly fast to me. I don't know of any local racer who can manage that. One TT racer who has been "stalking" me on Strava did 12 miles at an average speed of 25.4 mph at an average power output of 300 watts. The very next day I beat his KOM with an average speed of 26.8 mph, but that was on a racing recumbent. I doubt I could have averaged even 23 mph on a TT bike.

outdoor watts are always higher than indoor watts an TT Watts are alway lower than roadbike watts

Brother, I've been riding a TT bike that's been too small for me 10 years. I went and got it fit. You could probably pick up a used aluminum one on eBay for cheap.

Sounds like we have the same coach, I have yet to correctly finish a 4 x interval workout from her.

Did you race at the recovery day too.....?

Hey whoever is listening and can offer some good advice. Ive been riding since i got my bick March 20th. Ive covered about 1000 miles in total. I came 4th in my first cat 5 crit i have done a century and i race on weekends with a few cat2 and cat3 guys. I came 2an and 4th twice. The issue is i dont know how to gauge my fitness. I feel like i have a lot more in me but i feel tired and weak. I cant hold much speed ( no power meter) for very long. Like i can hold 29mph for like 3 mins. I don't know how good that is. The race we do on Saturdays is 21 miles with some elevation changes and the best ive averaged is 23.5 mph. How can i know how fit i am. Any help is greatly appreciated!

What chainrings are you running (front sprockets) @90 rpm in 11t rear 50/34 - 11/28 = 32.86mph 52/36 - 11/28 = 34.17mph 53/39 - 11/28 = 34.83mph 54/42 - 11/28 = 35.49mph I am running 50t in my front "giving up" 3mph on 90 rpm. I am seriously ready to switch my chainrings..

How long does it take to get accustomed to the TT position and riding in the aero position out on the road? Feels so jittery and unstable..

got any videos on your stretching poses? interested in that.
