I Got My Cycling Training & Nutrition HORRIBLY WRONG
This was an awesome video loved the commentary !😂
Slowly turning in to Bradley Wiggins
These videos do make me smile 😀
Congrats!
Love these videos! Is there a podium ceremony? You should include those if you're able. Would love to see that. :-)
Thanks and sometimes they have podiums but a lot of the time there isn’t for summer CX
Well done Giorgio but Luke on his full sus looks too casual.
Too easy but he makes it look hard in another video I have coming 😂
Awesome, great to see you between the tapes again!
Thought you rode full muds all year round? 😂
I have 2 sets of tubeless which I can change for this season but my tubs are muds 😂
Is your boy on the wrong tyres? x
It did get a little slick on top when the sun started to drop but I think it was probably too much pressure and not enough finesse 😂
Loved that - rear camera would have made that even more epic! Keep up the great work 👍
🤔 that’s a good shout I might have to when I race next years rounds 👌
Great race!
Nice work Giorgio!
Wow, great race !!
Excellent effort, what gear ratio are you using on this course?
On the front I think it’s a 42 and it’s a 10-32 12 spd on the back 👌
Excellent!!
Very good race Giorgio. You placed well by riding very smart. 👍👊💪
🙌🙌
Brilliant, those efforts must hurt, the coaching sessions are working, well done 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The efforts are killer but it’s all part of the fun I guess 🤔😂
Another good training video not long to the start of the cross lets hope dry for the start of the season will del boy be having a go in the over 60s ? 😊
Thanks and I very much doubt it I think he’s completely retired from racing
You can use the e tube app for the tcr and swap what button does what on the di2. So can make it like sram. Then mode 3, full sync 👌
Ahh great I will have to take a look at this 🙌
Can you explain why you done the gym session after the bike session?
For me it’s got nothing to do with cycling performance but I’m trying to gain some muscle to be fitter and stronger for life 👌
2:18 We know 😂
Out of interest, how many miles is your daily commute ? Great vid !!
It’s only about 5 miles so very short I tend to add a loop on to it for training 👌
Love it ..Drill Drill Drill
Good stuff, embrace the pain, it will pay off.
😅 it’s not easy but it will be worth it
Giorgio I’m excited for you and Sarah. It will be a new era for you. The little one will DEF require some changes, you will make it all work out.
It’s definitely going to be some big changes but I can’t wait 🙌
These blogs are awesome, they certainly inspire me to get out on the bike. Those meals look Devine, you and the rocket should write a cook book, 😉👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love it 🙌and haha the rockets cook book would be a good idea 🤔😂
You just need a Propel now. Just saying.
That would be nice but I don’t t think I would use it enough to do it justice… I just love riding the TCX 🤷♂️
So do I tbh. Cracking bike - hopefully will not ruin it with my cx ‘skills’ 😬
OK so here is the critical question: what are you listening to while you’re doing your intervals? I heard a handful of tasty DnB in your race videos and I realize I am totally disconnected from what y’all Brits are making these days and I miss it. What album do I need to listen to in order to survive my next vo2max workout?
😂 I’m going to be honest I listen to a playlist on Spotify called easy… it’s like chilled music 😂 I just find the efforts easier, I’m not sure if it keeps me more relaxed but it seems to work for me. However I use faster pace music on CZcams as it wouldn’t be very exciting watching a race with a relaxing song playing 😂
Another great video immpresive gym work with the weights you always make me feel hungry when i see what great food you have 😊
The weights have slowly been going up which has definitely been nice and haha sorry but im always hungry 😂
Probably too early to tell but it will be super interesting too hear what you think about the high intensity training compared to the volume/z2 training and how it works out for you in the competitions! Gl
Yeah once I start racing it will be good to see where I am at and It will also be interesting to see if the level dips in the future or maybe even improves 🤔
The science is very clear on this; you need both. It’s called polarised training and has been pretty well understood for decades. Heavy Lifting ( lower body ) is also important to maximise performance.
good work giorgio
Love the chill content as well…
Thought I would try a different style and it’s been fun to edit 🙌
I've been doing lots of strength training, which is fortunate as on today's ride I helped pull a 20 stone elderly angler out of the canal... so even if I'm still crap next season it'll have all been worthwhile 😂
😂 strength training saves lives… I’m sold 😂
Also your climbs are not that long on your races compared to what the pros do, with their super lean upper bodies - upper body strength is good in my opinion.
Yeah that’s true however I need my power numbers to go up a little to counteract it but I’m enjoying seeing some upper body muscle 🤷♂️😂
With an hour at 300w French toast should be just right, no? You need to replace carbs
I agree but the rocket told me I should eat something more filling 😂
You’ll want a mirror for the rear headrest so you can see baby shredder in the rear view mirror! If you you don’t your Mrs will!!
Yep we have one installed now 🙌
Sold, doing my first one in a couple of weeks
Epic!
Lovin these vlogs, brilliant. Those power numbers are well impressive. Mrs Rocket looking ready for the big push 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It definitely hurt doing those numbers 😂 yep she’s ready we are just waiting for the little one to be ready now 😅
Just found the channel. Love the video
It’s nice to see lower volume for us mortals !!!! Most videos are 15hr training weeks. Even 10hrs is hard!!!! I can manage 6-8 and 1-2 lifting
🙌 yep I have done the high volume in the past and it definitely works but it’s going to be interesting to see how low volume training goes now I have less time 😅
🍿
Have one tip: find good trainer and group for you training... or have training program. Without target riding guiding to stop progress.
🙌
Mate, well done, top effort, proper pin it from the start and don't give up! great XC race coverage, work on those rock gardens for next season, full gas, carry the speed then float the bike as del boy would say! really enjoyed watching these video, nice one GC!
🙌🙌🙌
i could never train at high intensity consistently enough without injury and discomfort. Now that I am zone 1-2 most workouts, most of the time I actually feel significantly more fit than when I was doing more intensity. And nagging injuries/soreness a thing of the past. I’m 57. FYI there are other great ways to do it. Only a heart monitor is needed to keep your rate from going too high!
The problem for me is over the past few years I have put a ridiculous amount of z2 hours in and now my body is at a point that doing 1h z2 isn’t going to push the envelope at all. Not having the time to put hours in means intensity is the only way… however I do understand the risk of injury/burnout is high, but I’m making sure to nail my recovery so hopefully I can keep that at bay 🤞
It can be done. I lasted two years in events after our daughter was born, then I took a break from anything structured for a few years. I'm glad I took that break. Balance in all things is the way...and you might be surprised just how much you look forward to spending the day around your kid once they arrive! PEACE!
Yep I think this is going to be the case for me… I guess eventually priorities will change and being fast in a bike race may not be top priority
@@GiorgioCoppolaCycling the turbo will be your saviour!
Where's the Razzo jersey mate?
I will be racing in it but I tend to train in my Four4th kit a lot as I just have so much of it 😅
keep it up Giorgio
Its such a great course there, I did the 4 lap solo in 2021, 22 and 23. 2021 was wet and it took me nearly 6 and 1/2 hours, with at least 2 hrs of cramp in there so I know your pain. Very well done for getting it done in those conditions, hopefully this event is back next year.
4 lap solo, ouch! I take my hat off to anyone that survives 4 laps around that course 😅
Timely for this to pop up. Fancy a pop at some of this having never raced CX before.... Scott Scale XC hardtail.... or Heavier Sonder Gravel Bike? What do we think?
I would probably chose the spark if it’s not too muddy but when it gets muddy whatever has the grippiest tyres on and the most mud clearance 👌
I just watched Pidcock put Koresky INTO THAT TREE. I wonder if Koretsky will challenge it?
No if you ain’t rubbing you ain’t racing 👀😂
