Summary

Mike goes for a rare bike fit and we dive deep into the nuances of a comfort, position, aero power, and training strategy. We look at saddle height and position. Aero bars. Drop, reach, contact points. We also talk cleats, hip room and running niggles that may be caused by the bike. We look at the gains you can make in aero, talk about why comfort is king, and the keeys to speed. We also talk about some of the simplest and best ways to train. 

Topics: 

  • Saddle height and position
  • Aero bars and where yours should be

  • The power advantages of being aero
  • Arm fatigue and how it creates a perceptive fatigue on the run

  • Keys to speed
  • Brands and different features
