Comment progresser à vélo ? Avec Sam Laidlow

Perhaps you were inspired by a friend, the rise of triathlon, the exploits of Paul Seixas, or simply the joy of cycling. You invested in a bike, learned to master clipless pedals, gears, and group rides, and discovered a discipline as demanding as it is exciting. It's often said that to improve your cycling, all you need to do is ride as much as possible. But is it really that simple? How can you train effectively? What are the key factors that allow you to progress quickly? And which tools are truly worth investing in? In this episode of SAFE PACE, in partnership with Argelès-sur-Mer, we welcome Sam Laidlow, 27, 2023 Ironman World Champion and recent winner of the Ironman Lanzarote, where he broke the event record. Alongside Charlotte Morel, Fred Belaubre, and Hugo Tormento, he shares his advice for improving your cycling, whatever your level. On the agenda: • How to structure your training to progress, even with limited time. • Pain, position, adjustments: everything you need to know when starting out. • Understanding and using your equipment. • Riding safely: the rules to know on the road and in a group. • Drafting, power, weight: what really makes the difference. • Nutrition and hydration: how to fuel yourself properly while cycling. An episode for everyone who wants to ride better, progress faster, and enjoy cycling even more. For partnership inquiries: [email protected] Available on all audio platforms.
