Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 870 ratings
  • Good stuff - just one thing …

    Some of the episodes seem to be edited such that all the gaps between sentences and thoughts are removed. The result can be a very unnatural flow and not very pleasing to listen to. I don’t know why they do this.

  • Podcast has gone downhill

    The podcast was varied with a nice mix of conversations. It has gotten really boring over the last few months. I think the presenters have lost interest in it

    Episode 1,101 with Erin Ayala

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Sometimes the Roadman pod can be a bit well, let's just say wanting; HOWEVER, with a proper expert guest and a willingness from Anthony to listen (more than talk) can be one of the best podcasts ever for a cyclist. This episode was 100% great!

    Thank you Erin! (and Anthony).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pogačar Added Weight Before the Tour. Here’s Why It Worked with Dr. Sam Impey
Q: Is there a risk in amateurs attempting to add weight to improve performance?
Yes, improper execution could lead to net weakness or poorer power-to-weight on various gradients. Any experimentation should be gradual, data-driven, and ideally guided by a coach or sports scientist to monitor power versus weight changes.
Pogačar Added Weight Before the Tour. Here’s Why It Worked with Dr. Sam Impey
Q: How might the added muscle influence performance attributes such as sprint power versus climbing durability?
If trained correctly, the extra muscle can enhance peak power and joint resilience, improving sprint capability and durability on climbs; the exact effects depend on the training focus (speed vs. hypertrophy vs. tendon stiffness) and the athlete's existing physiology.
Pogačar Added Weight Before the Tour. Here’s Why It Worked with Dr. Sam Impey
Q: What is the fueling cost of a two-kilogram muscle gain for a rider like Pogačar and how might it affect on-bike nutrition?
It likely increases the overall metabolic demand and daily energy expenditure, which can be managed by slightly raising daily calories and adding targeted carbohydrate intake during key sessions to support the extra work without compromising recovery.
What Were Testers Looking for in Pogačar’s Blood? With Journalist and author James Witts
Q: What are the practical concerns with Therapeutic Use Exemptions in elite sport?
They can be misused to obtain a green light for substances that might offer a competitive edge, raising ethical questions about fairness and the potential health trade-offs for athletes.
What Were Testers Looking for in Pogačar’s Blood? With Journalist and author James Witts
Q: Does any substance on the banned list actually enhance performance or endanger health enough to warrant prohibition?
The guest explains that the decision is often a balance between performance enhancement, health risk, and the 'spirit of sport,' with many substances sitting in gray areas where dosage, context, and individual physiology determine actual impact.
