    Well done Theo, good on ya lad. Overcoming the injuries you've gone through lately to not only do a sub 6, but smash it with a 5.48. Respect to Billy aswell, that lads been through a lot, but he's never let it hold him back.
    Good luck with your next Iron-man

    Theo -- inspiring stuff. One idea -- can you get narrower handlebars and bend your shifters inwards? this will make it easier to pick up free speed from a slightly more aero position. you're quite upright now and you should be able to hold 30km/hr with minimal effort at your power. Cheers!

I enjoy running ultras but just coming back from a 15month injury and keep getting set backs but seeing you strive and graft everyday on Strava and to see you absolutely smash your time on your half. Just want to say thankyou for all the content you post, showing the reality of training and the set backs. Enjoy yourself mate and onto the full now. You true legend 🙏

  • @DanielMooreDJ
    @DanielMooreDJ Месяц назад +16

    Hi Theo no hate just some advice. On the bike you should go slightly above power target on the climbs and drop the power low on the downhills. This will give you a much higher average speed. Gravity takes care of the downhills. The time saving is gained on the climbs.
