One of my most regular habits as a rider is the Cycling Weekly Club 10-mile time trial on Zwift of a Wednesday evening. It's simple, it's quick, it's sort of fun, and it's easy to do at the end of a working day.
The article discusses the author's experience with cycling performance, specifically focusing on their 10-mile time trial (TT) where they consistently achieve power outputs between 375 and 382 watts. Despite training harder, the author has not seen improvements in speed, leading to the conclusion that the only way to go faster is by upgrading equipment. The piece explores the concept of diminishing returns in training and how equipment like aerodynamic gear, wheels, and frames can significantly impact performance. It highlights the author's realization that at their current fitness level, further gains in speed are more likely to come from technological advancements rather than physical training, prompting a discussion on the balance between training and investing in better cycling technology.
