Beyond Limits: A new generation of paced training

Ahead of the Tour de France, Tejay van Garderen and his coach, Dr. Allen Lim, head to Andorra for a new style of training - pacing on steep mountains behind an e-bike piloted by former pro Tim Johnson. Other Tour de France riders like Mike Woods, Simon Clarke and Joey Rosskopf come along for the high-speed, high-altitude workouts. Find out how and why the e-bike is used. Could it be a gamechanger in training? Beyond Limits is a new VeloNews Voices project featuring Allen Lim, PhD. From his academic work on power meters beginning in 1997 until today, Dr. Allen Lim has been obsessed with improving a cyclist’s performance, on and off the bike. The founder of Skratch Labs has coached some of the world’s best cyclists, including most all the American grand tour contenders of the past 15 years. In Beyond Limits, Dr. Lim brings you inside the sport at the highest levels, showing its secrets, its humanity and its significance for everyday riders as we seek to improve. Beyond Limits is made possible by support from Skratch Labs and CycleOps by Saris.
