Pedaling— it’s something most of us learn at a young age and we don’t give it much thought. Our legs seem to know how to do it. The perfect pedal stroke is often debated in cycling- crank arm length, optimal cadence, and much more. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Jim Martin from the University of Utah. Jim’s career has focused on pedaling and he dispels some of the age old rumors floating around the cycling community. Pedaling is something we are wired to do and giving it too much thought actually causes us to slow down. Listen to this episode and learn about pedaling efficiency, metabolic cost, and what role our joints play in powering our pedals, so you can become faster.
