The 4 Power Numbers You Should Have On Your Bike Computer (Plus: Late-Night Training, and Coming Back After Serious Injury) | Ep 605
Description
In this episode:
Power data fields on your Garmin or Wahoo: why the default power reading is useless, and the four numbers Rob wants on your screen instead...
How to get an accurate outdoor FTP number...
Listener question: with two kids under seven and a 9-to-5, midweek sessions don't start until 8pm. Is there a caffeine substitute to get going without wrecking sleep?
Listener question: after a car accident and a rebuilt shoulder, breaststroke is the only stroke available. Can you race a 70.3 or IRONMAN breaststroke? Rob talks wetsuit fit, swimming wide of the buoys, and the harder work of setting realistic new goals when you've raced Kona

Plus: Rob is having three and a half years' worth of hair cut off in mid-September and donating it to be made into a wig for a child with cancer. It costs around £700 to make the wig and he'd be so grateful for anybody that can share any amount - big or small - via this donation link
