    Ride Faster With Less Effort By Fixing These Simple Mistakes

    Go check out our FREE Skool community, it's got amazing tools in there and a thriving community of cyclists - https://www.skool.com/roadman/about 2 riders do the same 5 hour ride, the exact same power. But theres a difference, one rider gets home, has dinner with his family lays out his kit that night and rides again the next morning. The other rider can barely make it up the starirs, he's doom scrolling in instagram all evening and he's absent minded. There's a single number in their training files that explains why, and almost no amateur cyclist that I talk to has ever even been told to pay attention to this number. Today Anthony explains what that number is, what it's actually telling you about your engine and the exact 3 part fix to move it in a meaningful way.

    Ben Wiggins Isn’t Trying to Be Bradley Wiggins — Here’s Why

    Go check out our FREE Skool community, it's got amazing tools in there and a thriving community of cyclists - https://www.skool.com/roadman/about Bradley Wiggins’ son. That’s the easy headline. But after an hour with Ben Wiggins, it’s obvious he’s building something far more interesting than just inheriting a famous surname. In this conversation, Ben opens up about the pressure of carrying one of cycling’s most iconic names into the peloton, the discipline he absorbed growing up around elite sport, and the lessons he’s learned watching both the highs and lows of his father’s career. From seven-hour fasted birthday rides to the realities of burnout, nutrition obsession, Girona culture, and finding balance as a young pro, this is a refreshingly honest look at what modern cycling really demands. We also dive into track racing, Olympic ambitions, the evolution of development pathways, and why consistency , not hacks might still be the real secret in cycling. A thoughtful, self-aware chat with one of the sport’s most promising young riders.

    How Shimano and SRAM Killed Campagnolo

    Go check out our FREE Skool community, it's got amazing tools in there and a thriving community of cyclists - https://www.skool.com/roadman/about In November 1927, a young Italian racer named Tullio Campagnolo stood freezing on a mountain pass in the Dolomites, unable to change gear because his hands were too cold to loosen his wheel nuts. That moment changed cycling forever. Campagnolo would go on to invent the quick-release skewer, pioneer the modern derailleur, and build the components that carried legends like Coppi, Merckx, Hinault, Pantani, and Pogačar to victory. For decades, Campagnolo was cycling. So how did the company that defined the sport end up with zero teams in the 2026 WorldTour? This is the story of Campagnolo — and how greatness slowly lost the race. One of the tools you will have heard Anthony chat about in this podcast is Training Peaks.

    The Threshold Training Mistake Killing Your FTP Gains

    Go check out our FREE Skool community, it's got amazing tools in there and a thriving community of cyclists - https://www.skool.com/roadman/about Most cyclists think they’re doing threshold training — but most are actually riding too easy to drive real FTP gains. In this episode, we break down what true threshold work actually is, why your FTP may have plateaued for years, and how elite coaches structure intensity for maximum adaptation. Drawing on insights from Stephen Seiler, Dan Lorang, and WorldTour training models, we explain the difference between sweet spot and threshold, how much threshold work amateurs actually need, and the biggest mistakes riders make with interval pacing. Plus, we give you three proven threshold sessions you can start using this week to finally move your FTP in the right direction.

    Why Marco Pantani’s Story Still Haunts Cycling

    Go check out our FREE Skool community, it's got amazing tools in there and a thriving community of cyclists - https://www.skool.com/roadman/about Marco Pantani was untouchable. On June 5th, 1999, the Pirate stood on the brink of cycling immortality — leading the Giro d’Italia by over five minutes, dominating the mountains, and leaving the sport’s biggest names behind. Then, in a hotel room in the Italian Alps, three doctors took his blood. Five hours later, his race was over. His career would never recover. Five years later, Pantani was found dead alone in a hotel room in Rimini. This is the story of cycling’s most tragic icon: the rise, the scandal, the conspiracy, and the devastating fall of the man who made millions believe in impossible attacks and pure climbing genius. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Parlee Cycles ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ "Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...

    5 Fixable Reasons Your Losing Power As You Age

    If you’re over 35 and your FTP keeps sliding backwards every season, this video is for you. The truth is, it’s probably not just age. There are five specific things quietly destroying your threshold power right now — and most riders never address them properly. In this video, I break down the biggest mistakes I see experienced cyclists making over and over again, from training structure to recovery and one uncomfortable factor almost nobody wants to talk about. No gimmicks, no “just ride more,” no expensive aero upgrades. Just practical, actionable insights to help you hold onto — and even rebuild — the power you thought was disappearing with age.

    The Science Of Getting Faster After 40 With Dr. Andy Galpin

    Most cyclists hit a point after 40 where something changes. You’re still fit, still riding long hours, still able to suffer—but the snap starts to fade. The kick out of corners, the jump on climbs, that explosive edge… it slips away. And most of us just accept it as ageing.In this episode, Anthony sits down with Dr. Andy Galpin to challenge that idea. Is the window really closed, or have we just been training the wrong way? We dive into the science of power, fast-twitch muscle, and why getting faster after 40 might have less to do with riding more—and more to do with what you’ve been neglecting. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Parlee Cycles ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ "Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...
