yeahhh I know an FTP test is more 'accurate'. But when you're lacking motivation, the last thing you should do is an FTP test (especially when you're unfit...). Smashing a local strava KOM is much more fun in my opinion. I specifically chose this climb as it is sheltered the whole way up, so wind impact is low. I also did the two efforts on days where the wind was light (feel free to check on mywindsock). Finally, this was literally to have a bit of fun and motivate myself after a pretty abysmal year. Sure - there's definitely more I could've done to make myself even fitter. For example focused more on my recovery, my diet... But hey, 1 second per day is pretty decent in my eyes, so yeah. Hope everyone's good :)
Hey Cameron, you have MASSIVELY motivated me to get back into cycling. Thank you for creating the content that you make. I enjoy your refreshing perspective on cycling and more. Ride On!
"right now I'm the most physically unfit and out of shape I've ever been" - Cam Jeffers Does 13secs over his PR up a 8min climb, equating to 2,7% slower than the PR... I wish I was that unfit too! xD Jokes aside, I always enjoy going along on a nice challenge and journey, and this little mini-journey wasn't an exception. ;)
I was stuck in life, playing games all day and doing nothing, and then a friend introduced me to this program called Forwago. Now I'm on a clear path forward and enjoy every day.
It fascinates me how much my mental and physical health has improved since I started using the Forwago. And I was not even thinking that there is something to be improved lolll. Definitely more people should find out about this program.🙏
Me too. I got hit by a car August '19 bike broke and was off for about a year. Bought a new bike this September having gained about 10 kgs. Was climbing always this hard?
This video actually motivated me to buy my first smart trainer just last week and I'm really excited to get it delivered in the upcoming days. Here in Slovenia the temperatures are already really freezing and I find it difficult to ride my bike without me turning into an ice block even with multiple layers. But your improvment over the course of a month really got me excited about indoor training so thank you a lot for this types of videos.
I know this route being so close to home. I always look out for you whenever I'm out in the car haha. If you ever get hungry after this lockdown, make sure you stop at Eden Newburgh and get the Gammon pie 😉😍
Setting a challenge is what saved me during the last lockdown. I'm watching this as I have my breakfast before going out for my lockdown hill reps, but it made me wonder, what's the optimum amount of time between eating and going out for a ride? Don't want to be fighting the porridge as well as the hills! 😝👊🏽
I started following the Forwago workout sessions day after day and it hasn't just changed my body, but positively impacted my mental health and made me a new me..
Surely the best way is to do an FTP test at the start and then the end of the month? Without a power meter IRL efforts are impossible to compare, how do you know the impact of the wind is the same?
Because motivating yourself to do an FTP test, twice in one month, at full capacity is flippin' hard. The last thing I wanted to do was an FTP test. Smashing a local KOM is much more fun IMO. Yes, agree regarding the power meter situation, which is why I chose two days where the wind was light. (Feel free to check mywindsock if you happen to use it). The climb is also sheltered pretty much the entire way up so wind impact is reduced further.
@@Cameron_Jeffers should usee Xert then, I just did a warm up, then a full gas 4min effort and Xert update my fitness signature perfectly. It is so accurate and you don't need to get mentally ready for that full or half monty crap.
Crikey my PB on the same segment is 13:47. I am about twice your age and probably twice the weight 😂. Might use the winter as a target to beat my PB by March. Congrats on the Ribble signing. Fingers crossed for lots of racing next year for you all.
Hope your new team and new fitness work well paving the way to a great 2021. Personally feel cycling is about cycling(outdoors). Can’t stand Zwift and all the new indoor computer simulated stuff. Although for folk unable to train outside they are no doubt a game changer.
I had a very similar opinion, but I've just "converted" to indoor training. It isn't a replacement for outdoors, but it fits my schedule better. I've got three kids and can only ride at night. Over the years it has slowly gotten to me and I finally caved and converted to cycling indoors for winter, at least. But I fully appreciate it isn't a replacement for getting out.
I picked one up second-hand on Ebay, well worth it. I've had it set up for about two weeks now and have ended up riding far more than I would if I was just relying on outdoors.
@@gavinward3176 I picked up a Lifeline TT-02 Fluid Trainer. Fluid is quieter than magnetic apparently. Turned it into a smart trainer by adding cadence/speed sensors, so I could track my efforts and use Zwift.
Great video as always ! My first direct drive turbo arrived today ☝️ I want to loose a Stone gained after a Chemo and surgery filled 18 months! Anything you can suggest both indoors and out in terms of this will be really appreciated 🙏
Cam, whats the best way to get faster for zwift racing? i do a bit of mtbing but mostly ride on Zwift, been hitting the hills as much as i can to try and improve my strength on climbs, is this a good idea?
I think cycling contacts only officially start on January 1st, on pro team training camps in December you often see a bunch of kits from different teams because of that.
My unfit was beginning of August. 15kg heavier and ftp dropped about 90 watts... Ftp is back quicker than the weight. I'll take this unfit in a second.
The amount of time we spend believing we can't is more than enough time to learn how you can. The Forwago program helped me to realize that I can achieve almost everything if I just try it hard enough. Believe in yourself :)
I was so depressed because of everything that has been happening in the world lately and I started gaining weight like crazy. The one thing that really helped me to get better was Forwago. A big thanks to everyone who puts an effort into the making of programs like this.
Less than one hour per day, missed 4 days and calls it a “boot camp” - really???? Just a 10’ ad for Sufferfest. Come on let’s get some real “elite cyclist” content not this slack stuff.

Ride On!
What mount do you use for your wahoo that allows you to attach your GoPro?
Maybe do the final ascent 1 week recovery after the 4 weeks of training? otherwise your numbers are going to be down due your fatigue
Bang on! Im avoiding FTP Test as lockdown = Homer Simpson syndrome
Go on Cam! 👊👊👊
Would it be possible if you gave me a signed shirt? Would mean loads man 👌
Ben you are a legend well done on getting promotion!!! Good luck for GoPro in Net for Prem vlogs

One of the best videos in a while. Miss the old style videos mate

I gained an obscene amount of weight during quarantine. So I'm going to desperately try and keep motivation
You can do it
Me too. I got hit by a car August '19 bike broke and was off for about a year. Bought a new bike this September having gained about 10 kgs. Was climbing always this hard?
Main thing is just get out there (or get on an indoor trainer) if even you don't feel 100%. Baby steps, good luck.
That Ribble Team Kit fits u Perfect!

Great job Cam and best of luck in your new team Ribble 👍say hi to Damion Clayton for me . Great team and great move for you

@@Cameron_Jeffers the half monty might have been an alternate. But I know that ride you did very well. Tough one.

Let’s have more vlogs like this, have missed your regular vlogs.
Enjoying your vlogs mate
I was watching your old videos when you said how you liked when people were the first comment, so I mean here is the first comment
Haven’t watched yet, guessing quite fit!
😄
Good to see another video so soon 🙌
Look at this man in his new kit!!!
Looks good, might have my eye on a turbo trainer for the colder months, looks like a good piece of kit for training.
I picked one up second-hand on Ebay, well worth it. I've had it set up for about two weeks now and have ended up riding far more than I would if I was just relying on outdoors.
@@Horus45 Sounds great, which one did you get?

Completely switched off at the beginning. Too busy admiring the bed headboard. Very 1970s 😂😂😂
Keep doing good work man, thumbs up
Great video Cameron:-)
I've just done the six week FTP builder on zwift, I'd love you to try that and see how it compares.
Great video as always ! My first direct drive turbo arrived today ☝️ I want to loose a Stone gained after a Chemo and surgery filled 18 months! Anything you can suggest both indoors and out in terms of this will be really appreciated 🙏
Congrats on signing for Ribble. I know you have recently got your new ribble but do you get a team bike as well?
He's not on Ribble he's on ineos
Nah
Awesome video!
Go Cameron
Really enjoy your vlogs
Hey cam great video. Can you do a video on the Strava live segment feature on wahoo bolt vs roam.
You got this dude you know what your doing you a pro. Only advice I got from this was no metal spoon In your porridge pot. Use wood or plastic bro lol
Forwago worked for me too!
Good vid cam! Dropped Oakley for sungod? Is that a new sponsor for the new team cam?
I have to say I like the abus helmet way better than the met. Good luck
Cam, whats the best way to get faster for zwift racing? i do a bit of mtbing but mostly ride on Zwift, been hitting the hills as much as i can to try and improve my strength on climbs, is this a good idea?
good effort mate
Such an inspiration
Are you still allowed to wear the Saint Piran kit now that you’re not on the team anymore?
Also the weldtite kit is slick 🙌
I think cycling contacts only officially start on January 1st, on pro team training camps in December you often see a bunch of kits from different teams because of that.
So what’s your next step now? Are you going to do 12 weeks of base to bed the fitness in?
what do you think about siroko you used to wear them 2 years ago ?
Hey Cam, how have you gotten on with the Bont's? Would love some insight vs other shoes you've had.
cough cough... heard there's a good review of bonts on Chris Pritchards channel... if you can stand the guy?
@@chrispritch HAHA what are the odds you would reply..... Sounds good, I'll check it out ;)
Where is the full frontal test? It's hideous but so much fun.
He says is not fit and is still 100% stronger than me 😂
I might not be so fit right now....but watch this!
My unfit was beginning of August. 15kg heavier and ftp dropped about 90 watts...
Ftp is back quicker than the weight.
I'll take this unfit in a second.
Where did you get your glasses I really like them
we need Zwift race videos.
Out of interest was your weight the same at the start and the end of the 4 weeks?
Wondering how you got to a team like saint piran because I am 12 so still very young but want to get into a pro team when I’m older
What helmet are you rocking in this video?
Skin suit indoors.. going for those aero gains.. 💪
Is this what you do for a living?
1:35 do you need strava premuim for that
The amount of time we spend believing we can't is more than enough time to learn how you can. The Forwago program helped me to realize that I can achieve almost everything if I just try it hard enough. Believe in yourself :)

Hey Cam what is your FTP?
Gcn are doing something similar
Nice work cam chapeau
Fake
the ribble jersey made you go 10x faster 😂
Does Cameron respond?
So sick of sufferfest and it's paying people to advertise for it
Skinsuit on the turbo has got to be a sin
What about a newbie, how fit can you get in 1 year? 2/3 commutes a week? Probably still not as fit as you being "unfit" lol
Is a Skin suit on a trainer a marginal gain ?
Please, please, please sort out the wires hanging below your bedroom TV xD
Hi
13 sec under you PB not so unfit 😅
How’s Monica? She’s not running anymore
Speaking of getting fit and challenges the Jeffers vs VeganCyclist is one year ago rematch gogo!
this time on ventoux
Yes! Needs to happen!
Or a youtubers race. Cam, VC, durian rider, cam nicholls etc. Some of the gcn guys.
Hi I saw you today in leyland near runshaw college I was waking my dog
U have 6 months bro...
Akki tiwari
Mmm I reckon the new jersey gave you 10 seconds atleast 🙄
Now do it on a Fat Bike 😉
