Low Cadence, Choking, Equipment Choices and More – Ask a Cycling Coach 285

Check into how to lower VLAMAX and why you would want to do that. Basically lower cadences at the right power (Tempo-SST) forces your faster twitch fibers to work more aerobically thereby decreasing your VLAMAX and increasing your FTP. Sebastian Weber talks about having Tony Martin do long SST efforts at 60-65 cadence in the TT position. How low you want your VLAMAX depends on the type of racing you’re doing.
