ANECDOTE

Wiggins' 27-Exercise Overload

  • Phil recalled Bradley Wiggins returning from camp with 27 exercises and no time to ride.
  • That taught him to prescribe fewer, high-impact exercises riders will actually do.
INSIGHT

Symmetry Of Bike Vs Asymmetry Of Bodies

  • Cycling creates sustained, symmetrical load on asymmetric bodies, producing one-sided pain patterns.
  • Expect knee, low-back and neck symptoms from that locked, repetitive posture.
ADVICE

Fit By Event: Aero, Power, Comfort

  • Balance aerodynamics, power and comfort by aligning position to event duration and goals.
  • Prioritize sustainability for long events and accept more aero compromise when comfort must last hours.
