Excellent video and good explanation of the process. I've just started a bike fitting business in Australia so spend a lot of time watching other fitters on YT to continue the learning process as it never ends. £500 is very expensive, even with the follow up session and all the post fit information. I'm about half that for a 3hr session with complimentary 1hr follow up and money back if not happy guarantee. Experience, knowledge and good reputation are worth paying for, but £500 is still pretty crazy. Is your foot still going numb and is it 'pins and needles' or do you just lose feeling? Where in the foot does that occur?

Topo do really great zero drop shoes (& some 5mm drop ones) with some underfoot padding and a wide anatomical toe box. For everyday shoes & boots I use Lems (a US brand) which are zero drop with a wide anatomical toe box and some padding. I love them.

2025 is our year brother!

Damn, I ran 2x2,5 minutes with vivobarefoot primus light III on a treadmill and now I cant step on my right foot.

Brother, your website is hacked or broken.

Nice content, but a feedback: almost all the world uses metric system. It would be good to have at least an on screen conversion when you speak about paces and speed😉

Yei glad to see the vids’ are back. Been missing them, as they keep me accountable here in the cold DK 😅👌🏽👌🏽

Awesome to see you back Lewis! Just do what you want, when you want, life is easier that way :)

Great to see you back making vids. Feels like you’re going to smash it this season. Hope the training goes well. Maybe stay away from golf though 😂

I’m new to exercise, it has been a while. But I look for a running shoes because I work with kids. You need to be fast on your feet when dealing with kids!

I actually prefer magnetic. I have a Sportneer magnetic trainer. It has a pretty good road feel. I have used several good fluid trainers in the past, including the Kurt Kinetic. What I like about the magnetic is having the resistance dial on my handlebars which allows me to simulate terrain. If I want to do a hard sustained climb I can dial up to level 6 and push some good watts. If I want to ride tempo on simulated flat terrain I can set the dial to level 4 etc. Also the dial is great to use for doing hard intervals. Dial down to level 2 or 3 when you want to do easy spin like for warm up or cool down. The thing I don't understand about using a dumb trainer on Zwift is what happens when there is a climb on zwift? Your trainer doesn't know and doesn't change resistance to match terrain like a smart trainer. How do you overcome this with a dumb trainer?

Well done.

Great video

yep, i run barefoot, feet to concrete. when i did use shoes, it was merrell trail glove 4s. kept seeing a bunch of hype about altras, so i recently tried escalante 4. thought they were going to be heavy and make me work harder but was surprised i didn't really notice them. what i did notice was the bounce while running, which is welcome. hoping they will help reduce soreness and recovery now that i'm running longer distances (10-15mi).

I wish I could like this amazing video but you being so totally dismissive of the very shoes that helped you was frustrating. It's almost like you don't wanna admit how good they are. They promote natural form which makes so many weird issues disappear. You should be promoting them not saying " they're amazing but don't get them". They literally change people's lives. Old and young.

I have both. And both are fantastic. The altra I have also used for longer runs. The altras are wearing out very quick. The sole is losing its form after 700 km.

Skip 2 mins in a bunch of waffling. Good video❤

Congrats! I am just curious about why you arent wearing vivos in these races too? Do You think not using barefoot shoes is better for these type of races? Or why

Great video! The one thing that I would have emphasized is that the Vivobarefoots are WAY overpriced for what it is. It is literally a low quality recycled plastic shoe. The ones that he was showing are very low quality for the price. Unfortunately, you can't directly post reviews on their websites, so beware. I think the Vivobarefoot is good for training barefoot, but as he suggested you can not go hard on them. It has taken me a year to develop new running style with the vivobarefoots. I have not tried Altra, but I am considering because the Vivobarefoots has zero cushion and is causing my forefoot to build a callus. I don't know how anyone could run a marathon on them. Anyways, thanks for your honest review.

Just a tip. Instead of saying "these" and holding them up each time your referencing the shoe, say the name of the shoe. There are a ton of people who listen to this type of content without the video while working or running and when you say "these" the listener has no idea which shoe you're talking about. Not hate, just constructive feedback! Cheers!

Someone in a facebook swimming group said you can’t really compare the pool pace to the open water pace if you push against the wall in the pool, you will always be faster in the pool if you do that.

I think most people should do strength mobility work and assessment before a bike fit. You can't put a price on comfort but comford shouldn't be reserved for the rich.

amazing lew! love to see it

Hej Lewis, impressive job! I checked your Vivobf review and I'm considering to use them in an future IM... What made your mind to not use vivo while running the IM?

do u still do ur races in vivos and if so wats the furthest u ran in them and what pace usually?

How about sizing? I have a escalante racer and looking into buying a tempo for long runs. Whats your size in racer vs the tempo?

big up Lew proud of you bro!!

More aero doesn't always mean faster. You have to be able to make power and hold the position. Kinda useless. Sorry.

Awesome result. Raced the standard distance duathlon myself. Great race recap and hopefully see you on the start line for GB again.

Are you from Worthing ?

Well done mate! Smashed it. I remember racking next to you on the day. Very impressive times, keep it up 👍

Great result thanks for rocking the EZDisc

Well done Lewis 🎯

Awesome performance Lewis!

Congrats on your silver and second overall and on your first race for GB. The Europeans are usually a Brit fest unfortunately, but the whole experience is usually worth it. Worlds are more competitive from a multi nation uptake.

Awesome achievement, congrats! Sorry to hear you're still not feeling motivated. Have you thought about looking for other types of athletic challenges? I'm thinking of ultra running, gravel riding etc? No harm in exploring different kind of adventures and then return to triathlon once you've got the itch back for it!

Awesome on the PB. Smashed it 👌

Well - how has that 2nd place at EU champs helped your motivation? 😂

Yeah I second the comment about over thinking, and I say that from a place of understanding. Try to get your head straight about why you actually enjoy training and being fit af. It's not rocket science. It doesn't require the level of analysis you go into. It's simply about being a fing warrior and feeling awesome. If you can enter that mindset, like the stuff David goggins talks about, then the issues that arise from over thinking just disappeares. There's a great yt ch called fuel the mind, with a great playlist of goggins motivational speeches. Try it and see if you get back in the groove. 🤘

Best of luck to you!! Just saw you running across the bridge in Coimbra but didn’t get a chance to shout out. Be strong 💪!!

Hey Mate, from a random dude on the internet. Completely understand what your going through, this is normal in the cruel mistress that is triathlon. Don't let this get you down, this is just a small bump in the road of a already very successful tri journey. I've had some similar issues in the past and my advice to you would be, to take a step back from the sport. Go out for a run without a plan or a HR Monitor, go for a ride to a cafe and eat good cake, swim in the sea and just enjoy it. While you're doing this seek out physio's and bike fit specialists, but remember always stay positive. Trying to still smash in the sessions when your heads just not in it wont work. They will be other euros and big IM events to attend and smash mate. When I had a pretty low spell in the sport I took a massive step back and just surfed loads, I know you do as well so don't forget that. Give yourself a mental break by doing things like surfing and not being so focused on why sessions aren't going as you've planned. Hope this helps fella, keep your chin up and one day I'd love to race/train with you. 🤙

You're putting out great power and times so maybe you're overthinking it man. Progress over perfection, the pros are constantly changing their bike fit etc.

What about barefoot shoes for races (10k, marathons)?

I bought a pair of Altra Torin 7 and both shoes did break up un the upper, just by walking

Good effort. I used to get alot of stictches. I had to up my salt intake and it helped massively. I eat plenty of salt in the weeks lead up and then a few salt tablets on race day. Im a huge sweater 🙈

Brilliant effort. Everyone is different who suffers from stitch. I suffered for 10 years & got to the point where I couldn't eat or drink for 90mins pre race. I then started taking antacids at the end of the bike, which made me burp & helped a lot 😂. I've also found I'm better with a bit of solid nutrition in me. Basically fluid sloshing causes wind & stitch for me 🤷

Great video. First one I’ve watched. I’m racing in Portugal but the duathlon.

Well done mate great effort, i seen you last year talk about calf guards, what ones are you using now and have you seen a difference?

Awesome performance mate!

What's your saddle?
