A 2024 systematic review of 14 studies found that three deliberate ride types out-perform six random sessions, and the middle-intensity grey zone most amateurs live in underperforms every single time 👇

After 23 years of silence on its core road pedal, Shimano released SPD-SLR, and the new cleats refuse to talk to a single pair of SPD-SL pedals already in the wild 👇

Haven't written in a while about how VeloWatt is treating me on the road to TYRAS Gravel. Time for an update.

Taper week has started. Which means — as the Lithuanian saying goes — "what you didn't eat, you won't lick off now." Load has to come down so I show up fresh on race day.

Last week the legs were heavy. Fatigue was real. At one point I was ready to swear my power meter was broken — the watts just weren't coming. Nope. Just accumulated fatigue doing what accumulated fatigue does. 😅

A few honest notes from using my own product:

→ Found a gap in the AI coach: when an interval block starts, it wasn't evaluating whether intervals were actually executed correctly. Fixed now.

→ Self-adapting plans have a trade-off. Sometimes I'd check the plan in the evening — "tomorrow is X" — wake up, plan refreshed, workout has changed. That's the price of adaptivity, but the UX around it needs thinking.

→ Next thing on my list: when you ride twice in a day (say, an actual workout and later escorting your kid on their ride), the system should count both but distinguish training from add-on riding. Not there yet.

→ One more observation: the coach doesn't love my weekends. Keeps pushing active recovery. My theory — it's protecting my taper. Taper weeks are one of the few constants in periodization: never compressed, never sacrificed.

Overall — feeling good. Fresh legs incoming. October 3 we find out if the plan worked.

🚩 8 weeks and 3 days to TYRAS Gravel.

We’ve talked plenty about how VeloWatt works. Now I’m showing it from the inside.

I started from almost zero. CTL was low for weeks. Fitness — minimal. The goal is clear: October 3, we’re on the start line in the best shape this window allows.

Prep — 100% following VeloWatt’s AI coach plan. The only data I feed it is my rides, my form, my life. Everything else is its call.

This week (Build 2 phase): 528 TSS. Threshold intervals, VO2max, tempo endurance, then one hard 120min gravel-specific. Not “pretty”. Real.

I’ll share every week until October 3. What works. What doesn’t. Where the plan had to rewrite itself.

If you’re racing gravel, chasing a goal, or just building form — you still have time. But not much.

Don’t wait. Start.

💡 A small setting that changes what your AI coach sees.

In Settings, there's a location field. Most people skip it. Don't.

Here's what happens when you set it (or turn on auto-detect from your rides):

Your AI coach starts reading the 3-day weather forecast for your area — max and min temperature, precipitation, wind speed — and factors it into every recommendation.

Saturday shows 18mm of rain? The coach flags it and suggests indoor trainer. Wind above 40 km/h on your long ride day? It recommends a sheltered route. Heat wave hitting Thursday? It knows your Wednesday interval session might be a smarter call.

Without your location, none of this exists. The coach plans in a vacuum — optimizing for TSS and CTL, blind to the fact that you're about to ride into 34°C at 3 PM.

Two minutes to set it. Weeks of smarter training in return.

🔧 Settings → Location → set your city or enable auto-detect.

💡 A summer Pro tip from today’s ride.

Today, 7:15 AM. Legs already on the pedals. Not because I’m a ma*****st — because the math is simple:

→ When outside temp goes above 25°C, your core temp rises fast. Your heart works harder to cool you down — not to move you forward.
→ Your threshold power drops 5–15% in heat. “Easy Z2 endurance” at 30°C can quietly become a tempo effort.
→ Adaptation needs recovery, not suffering. Heat + humidity stress doesn’t add fitness — it adds risk.

So here’s what actually works:

1️⃣ Ride between 6:00–8:30 AM — 24°C vs 30°C is basically a different sport for your body.
2️⃣ If you can’t — drop intensity 5–10%. Not because you’re weak. Because the heat is already doing the physiological work for you.
3️⃣ On longer rides — 500ml + electrolytes every 60 min. Not water. Electrolytes.

Me today: 1h base Z2 this morning. Coding tonight. Tomorrow — easier.

Summer form is built early in the morning.
