How To Train For Time Trials – Time Trial Like A Pro

Can you stop making video's in front of a nice surf break. Way to distracting! ;)

Hands down, top of forearms parallel to the ground, elbows together is faster in crosswinds, afaik not tested in windtunnels, suggest using 3° angle'of'attack setup both ways to put wattage on it.

With upper arms 90° or more, suggest ~12°-15° opens the chest for breathing.

Nailing a transition can be... Jesus that was almost perfect

GCN Does Science

Does it make sense to train with all the TT gear like aerohelmet and so on?

Funny thing, my average FTP is actually quite a bit higher in my TT postion compared to my position on the drop bars. I also feel so much more efficient mechanically(aerodynamically of course too). My legs get less fatigued with the same wattage. Its exactly the opposite for some reason.
Still a good video that helped me to increase my FTP and widened my knowledge about TT

You guys in Ventura California? Santa Barbra, Ca.

some really good info; thanks. I'd say most of your stuff is ride on but now and then like everyone else, I have a question. Here's one you can all thank me for ( I have lots more ) ; mount a mirror down on your handlebars at an angle that allows you to keep your head fully down, and see ahead without raising your head, because the mirror shows you what's ahead. Tucking your head fully down is a huge aero improvement, close to as good as chopping your head clean off. I don't recommend that, as it can be dangerous to ride without a head. As always, stop trying to be funny. You guys are just not cut out for it.

10 second intervals is a good advice. But what is the length of the recovery interval after 10 sec of work?

Fantastic!!! Can you do a segment on how to decend and turning on a TT.

I just bought a canyon speedmax with ultegra di2
but my problem is i dont know what wheels shld i get.I am using zipp 404's and ive just started tt biking

Heart rate seems to be obsolete now theres power meters. My national level 1 coach had us do heart rate x distance.

where did you film this?

Love it

what is the music in the background?

Thanks for this vid guys, it has really improved my time over this season. But my club has just started participating in team time trials. None of us have any experience and I can't find any videos showing us either. So could you lend us a hand and show us how it's done ?

I really think there should be women GCN presenters there are women cyclists you know

Awesome videos

Why do pros train behind a motorcycle? What is the ideea behind it?

Thank you GCN. I waiting this for a long time.

And don't forget the EPO, test, and blood bags.

Sorry guys, great video as usual but the surf is going off behind you. Take a rest day and get out there!

In addition to this being a great video, you guys are riding on our one of our favorite roads. I recognized it from the first frame. My wife and I ride it almost every Sunday in the summer and even many Sundays through the winter.

Hope you guys enjoyed your time in California.

Si, watch your rear quick release

thank you so much GCN! i don't have a TT-bike but i customized my Giant TCR by adding angle bar, i also bought a skinsuit and now i do 20 km in 32 minutes and 20 seconds... thanks so much!

My time trials consist of sitting on my couch and eating pizza

I think you should do a video about circuit racing.

I was waiting like a year for this vid! It's finally here and it's AWESOME! You are the best, guys! Sweet-spot intervals FTW! (Ain't know if you get it, but I'm happy).

How on earth is stretching going to improve my Time Trialing, I hear your ask? 
HA HA HA HA HA HA... anyone else reminded of this? 

- The... Now, that's another story. The impportant thing here is that we get
to the part where you ask me how I'm gonna get down to the shore.
- Oh, how you gettin' down to the shore?
- Funny you should ask, I've got a car now..
- Ah wow, how'd ya get a car?
- Oh, my folks drove it up here from the Baahamas.
- You're kidding!
- I must be, the Bahamas are islands. Okay,, the important thing here is
that, uh, you ask me what kinda car it is.
- Uh uh, what kinda car do ya' got?
- I've got a bitchin' Camaro...

Ride this road all the time. Also asked my girlfriend to be my girlfriend out there. haha Glad to see GCN on local roads! Hope the wind was alright!

P to the R to the O...

Practice makes permanent, not perfect.

Did you ask DZ Nuts on this one, he was the king at TTs. Great video btw.

As an owner of a tt bike, I'm so glad that GCN made a video about tt training!

Is Si still using Tom's bike? :D

That intro transition though. Mmmmmmm

Majka!

You've answered my prayers!!
