From counterfeit carbon frames that look identical to top-tier bikes—but could fail catastrophically—to contaminated supplements that might get you banned without you ever knowing, and the organised crime rings stealing and exporting thousands of bikes every year. What started as one suspicious online listing quickly turned into a deep rabbit hole involving lab tests, anti-doping rules, and even FBI investigations.

Apply to join Our Not Done Yet Coaching Community https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/2026Most cyclists assume their bike fitness will carry straight over to running — but that’s rarely the case. In this episode, Jimmy Whealan and I unpack why so many cyclists get running wrong and how to avoid the common pitfalls. Jimmy is a former professional cyclist who raced with EF Education–Nippo and now focuses on running, giving him a unique perspective on the transition between the two sports.We discuss the key differences between cycling fitness and running durability, the mechanics mistakes that often lead to injury, and why the wrong shoes can cause problems before you even get started. We also cover the importance of strength work and how to introduce running into your training without compromising your cycling performance.A BIG shoutout to our incredible sponsors - Parlee Cycles "Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...

In a recent study, two groups followed the exact same cycling training plan—same sessions, same hours, same effort. Yet one group improved their VO₂ max by 8.7%, while the other improved by just 4.6%. The difference? Cadence.For years, elite coaches working with some of the world’s best riders have quietly prescribed this specific cadence-focused session. In this episode, we break down the science behind the study, why cadence changes the physiological response to training, and how this often-missed workout could help you unlock major cycling gains.Here's the link to the study Anthony talks about - https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0311833&utmA BIG shoutout to our incredible sponsors - Parlee Cycles "Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...

Apply to join Our Not Done Yet Coaching Community https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/2026In 2014, neuroscientists scanned the brains of Formula One drivers and discovered something surprising: they don’t feel less fear at high speed — they override it. Their amygdala fires like everyone else’s, but their prefrontal cortex steps in with experience, pattern recognition, and proof that they’ve been there before. Descending on a bike works the same way. Confidence isn’t bravery; it’s a built “corner library” of stored repetitions that tell your brain you’re safe. This episode breaks down the neuroscience of fear, what F1 and ski racing already understand about high-speed performance, and gives you a practical framework to rewire your descending — corner by corner, repetition by repetition.A BIG shoutout to our incredible sponsors - Parlee Cycles "Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...

Apply to join Our Not Done Yet Coaching Community https://www.skool.com/roadmancycling/2026Most self-coached cyclists don’t struggle from lack of motivation — they struggle because they keep repeating a handful of fixable mistakes.In this video, we break down five of the biggest traps ambitious riders fall into — from overbuilding fatigue and obsessing over FTP, to misusing readiness data and relying too heavily on AI. These aren’t beginner errors… they’re the subtle ones that quietly cap your performance.More importantly, we’ll show you how to correct each mistake with simple, practical shifts you can apply immediately.A BIG shoutout to our incredible sponsors - Parlee Cycles "Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...

In this episode, we unpack how Anthony lost 7kg in just 12 weeks — dropping from 86kg to 79kg — while eating more food than ever before. No calorie counting. No MyFitnessPal. No skipping meals or fasted training rides. And here’s the kicker: he didn’t lose power on the bike. In fact, he got faster. His energy increased, junk food cravings disappeared, and he never once felt like he was “on a diet.”The weight loss industry loves to shout “calories in vs calories out” and “ride more, eat less.” But that outdated advice is incomplete — and it could be making you heavier, slower, and more miserable on the bike.Go to https://www.skool.com/roadman/about to sign up to our FREE community!

Every time you throw a leg over a bike, you’re making art. Inspired by Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act, this episode reframes cycling as more than training plans, watts, or weekend miles — it’s a way of being in the world. Riding sharpens your senses, changes how you read roads, weather, and your own body, and turns ordinary landscapes into something vivid. Each spin creates something new: a route, a mood, a story that didn’t exist before you clipped in. The bike becomes a lens for thinking, processing, and finding clarity without noise or distraction. So next time you roll out, ride like an artist: present, open, and trusting the work.Go to https://www.skool.com/roadman/about to sign up to our FREE community!

Caffeine: legal, cheap, everywhere — and still one of the most effective performance tools cyclists have. In this episode, we go beyond “coffee is life” and break down why caffeine works, when it works best, and how to use it without sabotaging your pacing, stomach, or sleep. From endurance and repeatability to timing, dosage, and delivery methods, we look at how caffeine actually changes perceived effort — and why that can be both a weapon and a risk. Practical, evidence-based guidance for road racers, gravel riders, and serious leisure cyclists who want caffeine to help, not hurt.Go to https://www.skool.com/roadman/about to sign up to our FREE community!

This episode is for every rider who’s ever been told to “just relax” — and felt their body do the exact opposite. We unpack why confidence on the bike isn’t a mindset you can switch on, but an outcome your nervous system earns through real evidence. From descending and cornering to the silent language of the bunch, you’ll learn why advice like “soft hands” fails when you don’t feel safe — and what actually works instead: progressive exposure, pattern-building through repetition, and riding in groups that prioritise predictability over chaos. Plus, practical drills to build precision, trust your bike’s stability, and turn nervous survival into calm, quiet confidence.Go to https://www.skool.com/roadman/about to sign up to our FREE community!

Climbing doesn’t usually fall apart because of talent or genetics. More often, it’s a few small, fixable mistakes quietly stealing speed every time the road tilts up.In this video, we break down five of the most common reasons riders struggle on climbs—even when they train consistently and feel “fit.” From how you pace efforts, to how you fuel, pedal, and apply your power, these factors add up fast on any meaningful gradient.If you’ve ever felt strong on the flats but watched wheels drift away uphill, this one’s for you. Stick around to the end—the last reason is the most misunderstood, and fixing it can change your climbing faster than you think.Go to https://www.skool.com/roadman/about to sign up to our FREE community!

People keep saying gravel is dead — not because it disappeared, but because it changed. In this video, Anthony sits down with pro gravel racer Nathan Haas for an honest conversation about how gravel racing became faster, more professional, and more competitive than ever, and how that evolution may have stripped away some of what made it special in the first place. This isn’t about blame or nostalgia for the “good old days,” but about understanding what actually happened as gravel grew from a loose, community-driven scene into a serious racing discipline.Go to https://www.skool.com/roadman/about to sign up to our FREE community!

Not dramatically — just noticing I was still tense afterwards, like my body was holding onto the consequences. Because it’s not really a film about climbing. It’s about consequence — and the choice to move forward when there’s no second chance.As cyclists, that lands close. We obsess over control in tiny details, yet accept familiar risks without thinking. This episode is about getting honest: separating performance risk from consequence risk, spotting the “uncertainty stack,” and making smarter decisions before luck runs out.Go to www.roadmancycling.com/2026 to sign up for Not Done Yet.

How Do The Pros Actually Train – What EXACTLY is the Intensity, Frequency, Duration? Getting your winter training right is the difference between flying it in the January and burning out by the time the season kicks off. In this episode, I’m joined by Daryl Fitzgerald from Science to Sport to strip training back to the three levers that matter, and show you what the best riders do behind the scenes: how they build base, where intensity really belreally belongs, why Zone 1 is a secret weapon, and how to train hard without breaking.

I usually enjoy listening to Roadman an especially looking for advice on training, nutrition and so on. That’s why my expectations were high when I started listening to How to keep your Vo2max high after 40 with Andrew Talansky. Uh, was I disappointed. We were more than two thirds (and two commercial breaks) through the podcast before Vo2max was mentioned but did you talk about how to keep Vo2max high? No. Not even close. That episode was pure advertising for Talanskys company. Really disappoint
interesting worship of seilor and supremecy of polarised in 2025, as for several years it's been shown again and again to be same or worse than pyramidal for lower volume (less than 12-15hrs/wk). And just to clarify as it seemed vague - is it 80:20 by time, by hr, by zone. lol, no by session...really helpful. just ask TR when they tried to use it as the basis of a polarised plan and ran into a few fundamental gaps. Some challenge is healthy.
I'm going to hazard a guess our host never used Vekta prior to this episode.
hard to understand while riding my bike outside in the wind
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
You mean cycle touring? Nothing new about it, except the different bags.
People forget that before hooked rims, all tube type rims were hookless. I had two blowouts, one at speed, which i survived. I would never ride another hookless rim.
The guy seems drunk.
Can't beat a good podcast while out riding your bike. thank you guys Happy New Year

Hi there! I wanted to let you know that I absolutely love the podcast you shared with us. I've listened to it multiple times already! I was wondering if you might be able to recommend similar podcasts that would be a good fit for my website (https://tricombzzz.com/products/tricombzzz-full-spectrum-natural-tincture-1-500-mg). Since my website is focused on acupuncture services, I think this type of podcast music would be perfect for background listening. I would really appreciate any suggestions or help you could provide. Thanks so much!
