Why you don’t need to spend all winter on the turbo trainer | Jacob Tipper on indoor cycling, militant sports scientists and coaching Dan Bigham

In this edition of the BikeRadar podcast, digital writer Jack Evans and senior technical writer Simon von Bromley speak to Jacob Tipper about the risks of over-relying on your smart trainer. Jacob rode for the world-beating Huub Wattbike track team and was a road professional with Ribble Weldtite. He now uses his Master’s Degree in Applied Sports Science to run his coaching business, Jacob Tipper Performance Coaching. His clients have included former UCI Hour Record holder Dan Bigham and EF Education-EasyPost WorldTour professional Ben Healy. Jacob admits turbo training has its place, but argues riding on the road is essential to develop bike handling, pedalling technique and aerodynamic efficiency. He explains why averaging more watts in a session doesn’t necessarily make you fitter and points out the flaws of the Training Stress Score metric. Jacob also weighs in to the divisive polarised vs pyramidal endurance training debate. Plus find out why he advocates winter strength training for force-limited cyclists and a flexible approach to coaching. Lastly, Jacob, who is Head of Cycling at Huub Design, discusses the challenges of Research and Development for cycling clothing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
