- It’s no secret that Dan likes a beer or two, but after not riding his road bike all that much for a year, just how fit did he get following a 10 week training plan from the Sufferfest? Dan’s been training for only 5 hours a week but just how much has he improved?

Dan is the coolest; a natural on camera, genuinely likable, and despite the self-deprecating humor still a damn strong cyclist. Absolutely perfect for GCN. Big high five, my man.
Chris Opie with the ice.. genuine good lad right there.
+1
Chris knows... Chris did the Full Frontal before... ;-)
I think I follow you on Strava
@@guyd4067 I'm not following you on Strava, i'm following Veloriderkm on Strava, idgaf about you dude!
Lots that we do is scripted, that wasn't........
Body Mass 188.0 kg, height: 72.4 cm, that's one sturdy Dan.
IKR - I saw that and thought meself - hmmm he deff gained some weight XD
I'm just impressed your hair was perfect at the end. Even on rollers I look like an otter that's been in a sauna.
That's a brilliant way of putting it😂
Impressive results! Sufferfest must be stoked with how this ad buy turned out. Great marketing 👍
Dan kinda looks like a thinner version of hugh Jackman
Huge Jacked Man vs Hugh Jackman
omg you're right. 🤣
IT'S IN MY HEAD ALL THE TIME
When Dan started this I started my own journey I wanted weighed 90KG and wanted to AVG 20KM per day I now weigh 74KG and AVG 125 KM a week over a total of 1800KM so far this year
What weight did you start at and how long have you been training now?
That sounds about right.
8:39 Hank trips on the tripod in the right hand corner or the screen 😂
Dude, this was so effin fun to follow. Props, Dan!
Dan, do you remember saying the words "1h30 half-marathon" on GTN ? It could be a great time to go for some more fitness.
Little known fact: Dan also increased his twerk speed to 180 rpm. 👍
Hahaha
😂
More like 180 tpm 🤣
RPM? Rumps Per Minute?
well done i am 68 years old but i ride like a 24 year old you inspire me dan,thank you GCN MAKE MORE OF OF THIS CONTENT
Phillip, that's awesome! I'm 43 and my goal is ride myself young as well.
Well done Phillip. Must be the name that does it. I'm 65 and like you think I'm 25. Really enjoyed the plan, I must be a masochist. Need more suffering!!!
Hmm, im 24 and ride like a 68 year old :(
After watching hundreds of GCN videos, this series has been the most interesting to follow. It resembles many of us at home.
Hats off to GCN, this was so real and so core to what many of us older riders experience. Remembering what we used to do, and recognizing that age is a gift that can be bittersweet. Lloyd inspires by opening his life to his reality, which isn't very far from the rest of us with children, careers, commutes, etc... After seeing his honest numbers, I feel a lot better about mine which have also slipped over a couple decades. I would like to say THANK YOU Lloyd for letting the viewers into your life and seeing the real you. I must say, I was actually shouting at my video watching you perform, did you hear me?
Thanks Mark for the encouragement. Glad you liked it. Now I just need to keep riding...... Dan
Awesome effort Dan. Brave to do that if front of an audience. Congratulations on those numbers and happy suffering.
In the zone and suffering but hair as always on point stylist gain's 💪💪
Massively inspiring! This really makes me feel like I can still make improvements too. Thanks for giving another family man some hope.
Super impressive. This is especially motivational to see someone improve that much and that quickly while sustaining a busy normal life. Great series, and congrats to Dan.
Oh man, I really love GCN. This is so inspiring!
Exercise is also addicting. I'm addicted to it. Hehe.
@man0z Prison?
@man0z start save pennies and buy a trainer, maybe?
Prisons have gyms 😂
Super effort Dan, great to be there to see it live!
Dan's Sufferfest experiment was great to watch over the last ten weeks. Congratulations on the big improvements and thanks for sharing!
Wow! All awesome gains! Congrats. Giving me hope!
Well done Dan that must of been really tough! And well done to GCN for putting it all together another brilliant video!
That was truly heart warming to see. Thanks for being so vulnerable and humble. We can all relate
congrats Dan super to see you show improvement over ten weeks with training ,keep up with riding more when you can.
Great content, wonderful story, fun to follow. Outstanding production quality, too. Kudos to producers and editors!
Very genuine video. Great stuff. Congratulations!
Nice job Dan. I think you should keep going. There’s nothing like being able to ride hard for long distances
Awesome work Dan! Keep it up and find your next mountain to conquer to keep you motivated!
The best GCN series to date. I enjoyed it very much and am inspired to do more training myself, and measure the improvements.
This has been great, one of the best things on GCN in a while. Well done Dan.
That has been great follow Dan and his training and that finale was dignified the "boss"! Thanks GCN and thanks Dan Loyd!
Awesome stuff. Fun to watch, thanks for putting that out there.
Wow, that's a huge improvement. Thanks for sharing your journey, it's encouraged me to sign up to a more structured training regime. I look forward to watching you tear past me at the New Forest sportive next weekend.
Great job, Dan! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your vlogs through this process! More please!
Good on you, Dan. Thanks for the inspiration.
This is absolutely inspirational. Well done Dan.
Well done, you definitely inspired a lot of us throughout this journey 👍🏼 Cheers 🍻 Dan!
Well done Dan. Great efforts and it's been excellent watching.
Well done, Dan. Goes to show hardwork and consistency always pay off. 👍
Well done Dan. Good to see you in better shape!!
Big up Lloydy. Nice work. I'm very impressed by your effort and dedication. Inspiring.
big dan is a legend. proper nice bloke, with little to no ego. inspiring
Loved it! One of the best shows so far! Sufferfest is awesome!
Well done, Dan. It takes a lot of humility to put yourself out there like that. Great results.
Way to go Dan and three cheers for continued fitness in future.
Well done Dan. Really interesting to watch your journey back to fitness. Keep going!
Been waiting for this, im interested where he got
Well done Dan, bloody impressive! You’ve inspired to me to do my own 10 week plan now in preparation for an event in June.
Very well done Dan! Impressive resolve you've shown staying with the program and realizing those gains!
Great video, it's been good seeing how you got on. It's definitely sparked my interest in a more formal training plan rather than just ride when I can.
Congrats, Dan! And thanks for all the training videos. I'm currently trying to get fit myself.
Fair play Dan! Loved watching your progress, kinda inspired me to get off my ass and actually do something
Awesome job Dan! This was really great to follow, and even more awesome to see you put in a real effort, follow through, and show awesome improvement. The results are significant, and you have reason to be proud.
Great video and congrats to Dan on improving so much in 10 weeks! As someone who's been sedentary for years and recently started getting back into shape (including buying a bike to commute to work), this definitely inspires me to keep pushing forward.
I applaud your initiative, and admire/respect your candor throughout your experiences; I found inspiration in that. Congratulations on a job well done!
My oh my.. well done mate.. an FTP test is a horrible thought when your at home on your own, but with an audience.. spiffing! Great job 🚴💨👌
Really enjoyed watching you get back on the bike. I have been on a similar time frame on TrainerRoad and seen similar increases! Great work!!
Well earned results and well done! Really enjoyable series to follow overall from start to finish and thumbs up for doing the final 4DP test in front of live audience!
Well done Dan, I'm a few years ahead of you at 49 and have accepted my fastest years are behind me but following your 10 week journey is great inspiration and shows that age is no barrier to getting fitter!
Dan, I thoroughly enjoyed following the 4 weeks of your journey. A MASSIVE thumbs up mate!
Congrats to you. The work paid off. You looked good. Been on my trainer since January and really have enjoyed the progress. Always was wondering how you were doing as I rode along. Looking forward to the snow leaving and the roads opening up. Just received 10 inch's of snow here in Vermont. Take care, Al
that's awesome congrats dan... bloody briliant!!!
Excellent improvement - impressive! Keep riding Dan!
This has been an awesome series and glad to hear you got enjoyment from cycling again. Makes me want to get a power meter and track my own gains.
This 10 week series has been great. Amazing to see the impact 10 weeks could have, but also impressed at what your base condition was going into it!
Well done Dan. Really getting into my cycling this year and loving this channel and the whole team. Educational, informative and funny at the same time. Keep it up.
I enjoy using the sufferfest too! But I’m amazed how young Dan got in 10 weeks. Did they put makeup on him? Amazing.
Great effort. Great commitment and determination. Well done. I am insoired. Thanks Dan
Kudos, Dan! Really enjoyed following your journey the last 10 wks. I'm back on the bike after a long absence, and you've been an inspiration. Keep up the great work on GCN!
Really good to see Dan’s improvement. 👍🏻
Impressive! Congrats Dan. That has inspired me. I'm going to set up my indoor trainer tomorrow morning in order to be ready for the season. We still have snow and ice here in Quebec Canada.
That's very impressive, congrats Dan!, and for celebrating, a big cup of beer of course
I started my New Years get fit at the same time. The videos were really inspiring. Even those low points where Dan didn’t feel like exercising and pushed on anyway. Inspired me to do my training sessions when I didn’t feel like it either. Thanks for the great series.
What a cracking video, you guys and Emma 😍 are absolutely nailing it. Dan that was immense what an effort
Followed the same plan, but had to rearrange a lot of sessions due to life interfering.
Did the FF test already after 8 weeks.
Results:
FTP: +24 W
MAP: +25 W
AC: +42 W
NM: +16W
Sensational gains considering the time spent!
Excellent use of the cold winter months!
Bought a smart trainer and started sufferfest a couple months ago, due for another 4dp in a couple weeks. I can see the gains already, workouts that were difficult at the beginning are now easier, my HR stays lower, and I'm increasing the difficulty on workouts. The program works and I don't feel like getting off the trainer like I used to on the rollers in the garage. The video, music and jokes on screen all make it a lot more tolerable to train inside.
Great gains in short time.being using sufferfest all winter training .videos very good at taking mind off the pain.
Well done Dan awesome result, a great effort. You've really inspired me to get back to some structured training and motivate me to kick the lethargy and can't be bothered attitude into touch. Great stuff thanks Dan, more of this stuff from GCN please.
Thanks for putting it all out there on the line. It helped keep me motivated as I tried to improve my FTP this winter- 18% in about 16 weeks for this 42 year old! 40 is the new 20😜
High quality content. Congratulations on your work. Glad you answered what your old power numbers were and what average users can expect in 10 weeks.
Congratulations Dan--massive effort!
Mega video guys, keep at it, love your videos you guys just knock it out of the park, time after time, after time
Fantastic video and 10-week effort, Dan. This is inspirational for us all that have time off the bike without goals to be actively training. Impressive improvements - very well done!
Congrats - brilliant improvement. Well done fella
Good on ya Dan! When you did the vertical jump, it was so bad that I almost spit out my water on the screen. None the less, great effort!
Respect man, these are impressive numbers. Job well done !
From now on Dan shall be known as "The Horse".
He has the hair of a handsome stallion.
I’ve been calling him that since I saw the photo of him in his Cervélo skin suit 😳
And a long nose - has anyone else noticed how many top bike riders have big noses ? Aero gains ?
know as El Caballo in Spain!
The FTP numbers gave him a bit of a long face...
Well done Dan you deserved that Pint at the end and it’s great to hear that you kept up with the yoga over the journey! The other guys were a great support for you as well. 🍺🚵♀️
I really like the 4DP test and how it shows you different numbers. Dan's ftp is nearly triple mine, double my 5 minute etc but our sprints are nearly identical. Fascinating to compare myself to people much fitter :)
Brilliant inspirational, fascinating, informative content. Chapeau, Dan.
You are an inspiration to a lot of us Dan.
Awesome Dan. What an inspiration
Best video one the internet! Dan, you look better too. This is an inspiration for me. In the last six months I’ve lost a lot of fitness. Three weeks ago I started working to get it back. Thanks for this!
Awesome series and well done.
Impressive Results Dan, warm regards From NYC!!! 💪🚵♀️
Great Job Mate! Super inspiring Dan your'e a beast!
Well done Dan. Great effort and improvement.
Great Video - helpful regardless fitness-level of the rider. GCN definitely leads the way.
Fantastic Efforts well done mate!!
This is what all the viewers want. A well orchestrated 10 week example of what is possible. All we need now is a competition for viewers and GCN staff to see what the ceiling of improvement really is.
