- What does a pro cyclist's base season look like? I get into the details of what I've been doing for over the winter to prep for the 2021 season.

Where's the dedicated strength workouts on your weeks? Or do you not want to mess with pure cycling metrics with them on the TP calendar?
aah, watch the video untill end :) okay, so you just dont want to mess up the metrics? :)
Do I really want to get demotivated by seeing those massive hours in my feed...?
Seeing how much you train is great for my motivation.
ftp is worked out at 95% of your 20 min power. This would give you a ftp of 350, still impressive 🤓
Don’t lie, we all know you just did TR sweet spot base HV.
Lol with a couple of zwift workouts thrown in
LOL. The best comment!
I'm new to Cycling. Could you explain what that means?
@@franzmeier2128 Trainerroad. Look up Dylans video on their training plans.
“Oh yeah, and I also maintained my weightlifting.” I almost spit out my breakfast. At least I understand how you’re so fast. Great video
I did a 600 mile month and felt pretty happy with that considering working full time. Damn son.
Hahaha. Right?
Me too!
I don't care about CTL, ATL, or TSB, the only three letters I care about are KOM.
Hitting big power numbers after no high intensity work is such a sexy feeling
Yeah. Because it comes as a shock. Did a 1 hour Zwift race last week after lots (lots for me, that is) of base training. +6W to FTP from the first 20 minutes and then held on for +11W for my best ever 1hr ride.
this man is giving a FREE training tips. kudos (Y)
When I saw that 8 mile day on Strava, I just figured you ran to the store for some beers :-)
I've just done a screenshot - needed proof that I did more mileage on at least one day in my life💪
Dude you had a ridiculous base season. That sh!t was ridiculous. I was laughing at all the recovery all winter long.It’s cool you didn’t get sick or have any issues.
Backwards hat Dylan does 600 miles every week💪
Must be a local legend everywhere
Wearing out the local bike path.
All up 25% grades........never downhill!
Every day!
Didnt realize you could count the drive to the training meetup as well as the ride!
BHD was in top form today. Especially loved the talking to the audience.😂 So good!👍
I just discovered Xert a couple weeks ago. Would love to see a video covering how you use the platform.
Or reviews of platforms in general
This would be very interesting.
Same here! I’m interested in how they estimate the FTP and what you think about its accuracy and about their workout recommendations.
Thank you for your great videos!
Same here. I like it but I’m used to Sufferfest and I find them easier to stay motivated. Staring at a number on the turbo for an hour is mentally exhausting 😂
Same here. I am new Xert user and it will be very helpful.
First time I have done a base season and just finished and starting to build for the XC mtb season.
Found it mentally tough doing long endurance rides but now I’m doing some intensity I realise how enjoyable the long rides are 😝 they hurt a lot less 😂
I loved this edition of "do as I say, not as I do" 😝
Very interesting, Dylan. Great that you are so open about your training and your own lows. What really got me was that your “recovery week” (15 hours) is bigger than my training weeks. By a country mile...! Keep up your great work!
Insane. Yes would def love to hear more about Xert and lifting + riding
Thanks for sharing your own base training data! Super interesting stuff!
Yes please share more of your training. Fantastic as always!
Love this video, and now I can’t wait for how you incorporated strength training into all your base volume.
As always: super useful, informative, and entertaining. Thank you, Dylan!
I really enjoy hearing about your training. Thank you for this.
Really enjoyed the video. There’s little information out there on the reality of following a plan, and the adjustments that have to be made along the way. Looking forward to your build vid.
Fascinating insight. Interesting to see the ups and downs you experienced.
Please continue to share insights into your training. Love your videos, very educational! Tks
Please continue with the updates. You articulate very well and I learn something valuable from each of your videos. Thank you.
Your videos are always packed with data, and relevant content. Thanks
I really enjoyed the detailed review of your base training, including the Training Peaks screen shots. Particularly helpful was dealing with disruptions in the plan due to fatigue, crash, etc.
Great to see what you did in the base season.
I love how you explained that listening to your body and adjusting appropriately worked. I think a lot of us athletes just try to push through and do more damage than good. Your content with both training and racing is spot on!!
Incredible stuff and please keep the videos coming.
This is gold. Thank you.
I liked hearing about how you applied the base training in a disciplined way but illustrated adaptation due to sickness, crash and fatigue. I found it informative. Thanks.
Amazing stuff, good luck for the season.
Thanks for the video, awesome to have some examples of how to work with a training plan and adapt to illness and injury..these are really valuable!
Can't wait to see you race this season! Kudos to you for resting while you were sick. I also had a head cold during base training and had to slow down for a few days. It's tough!
Keep these videos going please!!!
Thanks for sharing again, Dylan. Yep, a future video combining high volume with loftong would be super interesting. I hope you will recover well from that crash.
Crazy training hour amount! Congrats on your improvement, deserved.
Love your work Dylan, been following you on strava for a while now as well as here, great effort all-round.
Great video Brendan.
That 4 day block towards the end was epic.
Great video Dylan. Thanks. Really appreciate your being so open with your training data which provide great insights. Thank you!
That was great! Love hearing the theory and how you put it into practice. An, even though it wasn't a textbook base season, great job! You got yourself an awesome foundation for the season to come! 👌🏻
Seems we have very similar way of thinking about coaching.You've done great job and you will be awarded in racing season in my opinion!Keep going!
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing.
u the man Dylan. very impressive training, thanks for sharing
Solid analysis!
Wow, incredible knowledge and skill you have. You really put into perspective how the average cyclist routine doesn’t even compare to a professional. Best of luck this year
Really reset my thinking about volume. I think it would be great if Dylan posted a video about what all goes into supporting training weeks like that. I find myself wasting a lot of time before and after long rides messing around with clothing, hydration, computer charging, bike prep, etc... It takes some coordination to be out riding 5-7 hours several days a week. Route planning, food stops, water bottles, and then how in the world to rest enough. Great stuff!
Thanks for sharing!
Really enjoyed the video and found it very helpful. Thanks!
holy crap... your a beast. Thanks for the videos they are always full of great info.
Really awesome to see all that you share put into practice. Nice also to see that everyone is human and you need to listen to your body or situation so you can continue to make the gains you want. Sometimes the better part of valor in training when things go south is simply recovery.
Excellent and open explanation. Looking forward to your video on strength training whilst putting in base volume training👍
Loved this video
Yes please do a video about incorporating lifting during base training, I just finished my lifting block and am about to start my base block.
Thanks for the great vid, good luck with the next phase of your season!
Gotta love backwards hat Dylan :D
Another well presented video using your oft quoted favourite research articles to back it up. From the position of v high volume in , what must have been, challenging weather conditions could you speak on your experiences of base season nutrition ( on and off bike), your clothing choices to keep warm but cope with occasional hard efforts. lastly what you would do when the weather is sooo bad all week your forced onto the indoor trainer.
Great insightful video.
Great video. Nice to see how a plan unfolds in reality. So many things happen that you have to be flexible. A future video on Xert would be nice.
“Telling you what you need to hear not what you want to hear” ..... WOAH rocking Coach Greg Doucette favourite quote 👍
he put the BHD Instagram FTP equation in🤣
Great job as usual from a brilliant young man 😎
Thank you!
I've followed three months with volume from 7 to 15 hours a week, all on Zwift. My peak volume in last year was... 13 hours. Then I had to take break, because of mid term exams, for 3 weeks, when I hiked to maintain some fitness with a little running and biking. And now I jumped into build phase, and my endurance HR and PE maintained high despite my break. So my fitness is not short term, and I think it is awesome.
Thank you for sharing. I'd be interested in getting an update video after you complete each of your training blocks. Understanding how you change your intended training around illness and crashes is insightful. Would like to see your HRV data as you build up fatigue too.
You are a training bad-ass! Can you imagine the volumes & CTL of a TdF pro! Good job Dylan!
legend
Informative, inspiring, and entertaining, as usual. Would definitely be interested in how you modified your strength training routine during build phase. I am struggling with that right now. I would also be very interested in hearing more about how to pace yourself (time in zones) during a 100 mile gravel race with 10k or more of climbing.
base season is over?! time to go back to smashing strava koms and zwift races.
Amazing video! You should do this for the build period as well.
love the video
So the backwards hat is worth 10 watts on your FTP
Nice 1 coach!
Great vid. Could you also make a video about how to personalize a training plan if somebody works as a labourer and for this reason having difficulties with recovery.
Very impressive Dylan, what we all want to know is how to recover when doing that massive amount of volume - cue the next video 😜
Races are delayed here, so Base season is still going strong :D
Love it. Great work although I’m going for a nap after reading about all those miles
Great video, Dylan. I would love to hear your thoughts on mobility and injury prevention. I hear a lot about people doing core work, band work etc... to help with different aches and pains and to stay flexible.
Please make similar videos for the rest of your 2021 season!
I know you're not a road racer but do the 6 Gap Century in Georgia. Seems up your alley
I had a training week just like you Dylan. Minor difference, it was my full on week and your recovery week. But besides that, same.
definitely need more training update videos
More Xert content! More folks need to know how great it can be.
You're killing it. BHD was the best yet.
I wish I could do that in my base season. I live in southern Ontario Canada and once the snow hits in December I’ll be lucky to see the road again by April or late March.
Awesome video, would love to see what you’re eating on those 7+ hour ride days.
Thanks. Great video. Thinking about how to find this much time. 😳. More training vids on your training please
Would love to see a training peaks numbers nerd video. What each means and how you use them
King move
Very interesting and instructive video. Would it also be possible to see your total times in zones for the weeks? That would be helpful.
I'd like to see some of the training plans of your clients. It would be interesting to see what they are training for, what type of rider they are, and their results. Anonymously of course.
I had a BHD moment last week. Did a Zwift sprint race the night before an IRL 60km ride with friends at a quick pace. Suffice to say it wasn't pretty.
Too long, didn't ride, raced on zwift and went after KOMs instead.
KOMs are easier when the segments are 100+ miles.
@@oldanslo the longest segment in my entire area is 2 miles(flat). So everything here is a v02 max effort or above.
@@andrew66769 just make some longer ones
nice nice. i'm doing 40 hour week threshhold intervals on Trainer Road.
really interested to see the lifting program , as lots of cyclists will probably try to squeeze this in during the season as their gyms may be reopening (ie. me!)
Your recovery ride is how many miles I do in a week haha
Love the FTP quoting equation!
More please 😊
I had a cold on saturday and sunday... Thats what I like to hear in springbreak times 😄😋
Hi....Really interesting to see your programme.....Would be great if you could show a full year over a few video's so we can see the full picture.
Greetings from Hungary......Mark.
Incredible numbers 🙈
