Power is not a Goal with Nathan Haas - Ep182
In this episode I recorded a walking podcast with Nathan Haas, in Girona. We discuss Nathan’s coaching philosophy and talk about how power is not a goal of training. This statement flies in the face of just about every conventional paradigm of cycling.
If you are wondering what the hell we are talking about, give it a listen.

Obstinately Intolerant - Ep181
Obstinately Intolerant - Ep181
In this walking podcast, I make the case that cyclists should be completely, totally and unequivocally intolerant of saddle discomfort.
It’s your genitals, people. Have higher standards.
Now is the off season. It’s time to find a better saddle.

What is Your Orientation in Time? - Ep180
What is Your Orientation in Time? - Ep180
In this walking podcast, I talk about the four orientations we can have in time, and how they impact our relationship in sport.
Without any plot spoilers, the objective, of course, is to be like Neo.
“You are seeing the world without time, Neo. We can never see past the choices we don’t understand. You have already made the choice, you are here now to understand why you made it.”
Go forth and investigate my words. Send comments, questions.

Lawrence van Lingen: Moving from Center - Ep179
Lawrence van Lingen: Moving from Center - Ep179
This conversation is with running and movement coach Lawrence van Lingen. We talk about how the psychology of athletes impacts their movement patterns, the concept of movement from center, and force transfer through the ankles in pedaling. Amongst other topics.
Lawrence has worked with professional cyclists and triathletes at the world and olympic level, which has given him an excellent understanding of how these athletes present and move in sport.
I am sure my audience will benefit from the wisdom he shares in our discussion.

Chris Balser: Your Cranks are Most Likely Too Long - Part B - Ep178
Chris Balser: Your Cranks are Most Likely Too Long - Part B - Ep178
In the continuation of my discussion on crank length with Chris Balser, we talk about factors that may drive a fitter to recommend shorter cranks, pros and cons of shorter cranks, and of course wander off into related topics.
I am sure anyone who is considering crank length as a possible limiting factor in their cycling will benefit from this conversation.
Disclaimer: I made an attempt to keep the language less anatomical as this can be challenging for some listeners but it gets a bit technical here and there.
