Cycling

Torque-cadence decoupling, VO2 interval density, climbing posture efficiency.

Filler here: Coasting mileage — soft pedaling that builds little power.

Three cuts we would make to this week.

Sample. Examples, not promises. Accept or Keep mine.

-50 min coasting mileage

Before

80 min

→

After

30 min

Soft pedaling builds little power. Add torque or add rest.

-20 min group ride fluff

Before

80 min

→

After

60 min

Group rides drift grey. Replace with a targeted interval block.

+1 climb repeat, -1 flat hour

Before

90 min

→

After

70 min

Trade flat time for climbing torque at race cadence.

One question

Why is coasting mileage filler?

Soft pedaling builds little power. Add torque on the climbs or add rest. The middle ground is miles that do not make you faster.
