How Much Has Manon's Fitness Improved? | Inside The Wahoo Sports Science Center

День тому

Over the past few months, Manon has been training for her longest ever ride at SBT GRVL using Wahoo Systm. To see how ready she is for this epic race, she visited the new Wahoo Sports Science Center in Colorado for a tour and to undergo an in-depth fitness test. How much fitter is Manon now and is she ready for her brutal 142-mile gravel challenge?

How do you think Manon will get on at Steamboat?

@upchur09 Рік тому

You are going to smash it. Good luck!

@Ian-ki6lv Рік тому

Manon is going tough it out and finish, good luck

@johnnyboy3357 Рік тому

Logically energy management comes first, then, base that into speed output for the entire 224km route, of course its gonna be a rough estimate because of nutritional and biological or environmental factors, then based on that estimate, how well will manon compare to other competitors according to that estimate, i don't agree with "counting calories" because nobody can utilize nutrition at 100% accuracy, that's why there is a team who went after eastern african individuals because if i remember right, they can run under extreme heat for hours as their means of "transport" and it is natural for them, i can understand why they got recruited, central and eastern africans are well known for their aerobic endurance, so someone decided to tap into that potential to win this business, im excited for manon

@kulvianshun Рік тому

In all likelihood, extremely well. Especially if she follows the advice given and those numbers certainly sounded impressive.

@tonythomas8435 Рік тому

manon will do great! good luck!

Manon will smash it, the testing guy was impressed with her performance, will be awesome to see the race !

@F Swimmblader Did she turn you down in middle school or something? Weird place for this energy, my guy.

Great to see the Kenyan cycling team 'Amani' getting some press. They are a strong team and passionate bunch inspiring many Africans and Kenyans to get on their bikes. Thank you! Good luck on Sunday Manon at the Steamboat Race.

The results are posted (google is your friend) In her age group, Women 19-29, She came in 11th at 9:34:54 , a contender. Good job, waiting on the report from Manon and how she is feeling. Looking forwards to seeing her in the Unbound 200 June 3rd, 2023 in Emporia, Kansas.

@dankbank7424 11 місяців тому

She came 11th out of 18 in her division.

@Nick_CF Рік тому

I love when Manon asks if she will finish the race and the tester is just like uuuhh ummmm 👍. Some things can't be answered with math lol...thats what I love about ultra endurance, its a great equalizer in a way. A pro can DNF whilst a first timer just wanting an experience finishes with a smile ear to ear. Love it

@tankbirdfinder6219 Рік тому

Manon, thank you for being so open with what is pretty personal information. You sort of let them turn every stone over and shared that with the world. Appreciated, I learned a lot by listening. Good luck to you as well, but more importantly I hope you really enjoy it. Your in some of the best for what the US has to offer as scenery.

@branchtalley2659 Рік тому

Rooting for one of my favorite GCN presenters... Go Manon!! Embrace the challenge, and have a great and memorable day. You can do this!

@ericcoxtcu8037 Рік тому

My favorite moment was when she said "ding dong" when hitting the doorbell.

@whatwelearned Рік тому

Not fussed about power but the breakdown of when she was using carbs etc was interesting because eating optimally is something that's impossible without such tests.

@Grunge_Cycling Рік тому

Not really there are tons of other variables like restedness, weather, race pace etc.

Wow! Wahoo is legit. Their building is state of the art and entirely focused on performance science. This is undoubtedly why the Kickr is still the trainer everyone wants.

@richardbufton8308 Рік тому

Great video, Manon (as always!). Good luck for Steamboat Gravel. You will smash it. Look after yourself and have fun! We all know that you can and will complete the ride.

@stuartmisfeldt3068 Рік тому

Finally a nerdy look at training, and with Manon too! I’d like to see a GCN+ video with a more in-depth look at Manon’s testing, including LT1 and 2, as well as glucose utilization. A deep dive into the Half Monty and 4DP protocols and definitions of the training zones and other physiological tech would be interesting.

@cyclonutterd7075 Рік тому

All the best Manon, you've got this 💪

@BarryMcKee3906 Рік тому

Congratulations Manon on your 9:23 finish time. Epic ride. We look forward to the full report and video. You rock!

Can't wait to see how you do! You've got this! Hope you enjoy the amazing area and the race!

@53glowe Рік тому

Wow...Manon does real science. My understanding and respect for Wahoo just went up exponentially. Manon has got data to base her HR efforts on, fuelling and hydration strategy. So physiologically she has the framework to do the race, the other major part is psychologically...that part is entirely in her hands. You've got this Manon 👍

Wahoo is an awesome company their customer service is amazing.

You guys are building company and sustaining it the right way keep up the awesome work and always pedal hard🙂👍✌️🚴

Good luck and you seem like you have great information to keep you going for the event!

@DrewKime Рік тому

This is the kind of info I'd love to get. I can do all the online research in the world to figure out what my nutrition strategy should be, but it's still averages and estimation. I'll practice my strategy on longer efforts, but it's not the same as a race effort. I've never bonked in a race, but it's happened in training a few times. When I really pay attention the averages seen to be good enough. But man I would feel better if I knew I was actually doing it right.

Thanks for sharing the process of how they analyze your biometrics to determine nutrition. I hit the wall once while riding and was wondering what to do to not have it happen again. Of course, I'm not an athlete or in a competition but it would be nice to know. Good to see how the calories and sweating play a role in nutrition intake.
