<\/a>It's that time again:<\/p>\n\u0003It goes without saying that as the summer wears on, the itch to get out and ride more really starts to bite. \u00a0As we go out to ride more and more we also get more and more urge to dig into our performances and try to figure out how we can perform even better. \u00a0To this end, the internet becomes flooded with questions, whether they be an innocuous \u00a0“which upgrade will make me better” or a flame war instigating “which diet will make me perform better.”<\/p>\n
This week,\u00a0I'm picking a few of your most asked questions and I'm going in depth into them, including some of the following topics:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Is a rear derailleur a cost effective upgrade? (@9:28)<\/li>\n
- What is the best hand position on the bars? \u00a0Tops, drops\u00a0or\u00a0hoods? (@17:23)<\/li>\n
- What is the best power meter for a new racer? \u00a0Beginner to training with power? \u00a0Someone on a budget? (@25:18)<\/li>\n
- How many carbs do I need while I ride (And a discussion on nutrition and high carb vs high fat diets.) (@50:17)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Some of the information I referenced in the nutrition discussion of this podcast can be found right here: Biohacking Energy Systems: The Citric Acid Cycle<\/a><\/p>\n
