Bike Racing Lecturers from PBscience

I happened across this YouTube Channel, I was impressed with the detail of their content. They seem to be presenting to British Track and Time Trialists, but taking a in-depth approach. The quality of the videos leave a lot to be desired.

Some of their findings are a bit debated, I'll leave the opinions up to yourself;
  • Promoting certain energy products from SIS,
  • Eating little and often,
  • Consuming a Protein Drink withing 20 mins of finishing training.

I was most impressed by the tip they gave on tyre pressure. One of the guys in the audience had a similar opinion to me, "Pump is up to maximum". But Helen said that tyres are designed to be pumped to a specific PSI/BAR for the rider's weight, too hard and you're just bouncing along the road and losing performance. Their information on Carb intake and Glycemic Index of the foods is also pretty interesting.

Here's a playlist I made on their most interesting videos related to training for and preparing for Bike Racing.



I hope some of this is useful for the reader/watcher.
