This Roadman Cycling guide by Anthony Walsh tackles a common issue for endurance riders: a higher heart rate at the same power. Drawing on thousands of athlete files, Walsh explains five fixable causes—dehydration and low sodium, heat and poor cooling, under-developed aerobic base, stimulants or medications, and stress or fatigue—plus a bonus myth about faulty sensors. For each, he gives quick fixes riders can apply immediately and longer-term protocols to build resilience. The takeaway: a rising heart rate isn’t a verdict on your fitness but a signal about conditions, habits, and recovery that you can address.NOMIO is clinically proven to:Lower lactate levels, Reduce oxidative stress, Improve training adaptations And deliver a noticeable boost from the very first dose.

Today I’m sitting down with Dr. Filip Larsen, the physiologist behind a tiny green shot that pros say helps them go harder with less burn. One preprint shows lower blood lactate at the same power after a single dose; WorldTour riders like Mads Pedersen claim they feel a real boost. But is it biology or placebo? We’ll unpack the science, design a blinded test I can do on the bike, and then go way beyond the drink: overtraining, CGMs, mitochondria, and how to actually train smarter.

Fuelling is one of the biggest mysteries in cycling – and getting it wrong can ruin your ride. In this episode, Anthony sits down with performance nutritionist Uri Carlso to dig into the difference between under-fuelling, over-fuelling, and hitting that sweet spot of optimal fuelling. Anthony shares his own experiments on the bike – what it felt like to ride low on energy, what happens when you take on too much, and how things completely change when you get fuelling right. Uri breaks down the science in plain language, giving practical advice you can apply on your very next ride. If you’ve ever wondered why your legs gave up before your lungs, this conversation will change how you think about nutrition.NOMIO is clinically proven to:Lower lactate levels, Reduce oxidative stress, Improve training adaptations And deliver a noticeable boost from the very first dose.

When Trek scrubbed Greg LeMond’s name from its catalog—then sent $200,000 to a charity—their 15-year partnership ended with a whisper, not a verdict. In this episode we follow the receipts: contracts, press statements, court filings, and the cultural weather that turned a licensing deal into a public breakup. We revisit Armstrong, Ferrari, and the silence of the 2000s, and ask why truth-telling was punished. Expect hard facts, context, and takeaways on contracts, speech, and settlements. By the end, you may see why this was never just about bikes—it was about power, silence, and who gets to tell cycling’s story.NOMIO is clinically proven to:Lower lactate levels, Reduce oxidative stress, Improve training adaptations And deliver a noticeable boost from the very first dose.

Anthony admits he was totally wrong about “just fun rides” after L’Étape Prague—fully closed roads, Tour-style crowds, and a front group that races. Now he’s prepping for L’Étape Ireland on Sunday 28 September 2025 in Carrick-on-Suir, sharing how he’ll train, fuel, and recover; the logistics he won’t skip; and the gearing he’ll run for the steep stuff. The route offers two options: 150km/1,932m or 94km/1,314m, with timed KOMs on Ticincor and Seskin Hill, a sprint section, 80% closed roads, and 3/2 feed zones—all start/finish in Sean Kelly country. Expect practical checklists (pre-ride nutrition, bottle strategy, spares, and bike maintenance), plus stories from riding Sean Kelly’s home roads and what Prague taught him about pacing and staying in the wheels.NOMIO is clinically proven to:Lower lactate levels, Reduce oxidative stress, Improve training adaptations And deliver a noticeable boost from the very first dose.

We dig into how he paces long climbs, turns data into decisions, and why community start lines beat pro call-ups for pure fun. Plus, what he’s targeting next and the kit he trusts when the gradients tip into double digits.

Today Anthony chats with Ed Clancy. Ed Clancy’s career intertwined with some of Britain’s biggest cycling names. Coming up through the British Cycling Academy, he trained and raced alongside Mark Cavendish, Bradley Wiggins, and Geraint Thomas. He and Cavendish were part of the same early-2000s development squads, sharing track time and road racing experience before their careers diverged — Clancy becoming a team pursuit legend and Cavendish dominating sprints on the road. With Wiggins and Thomas, Clancy formed part of the powerhouse Team GB track squad that rewrote the record books, winning multiple Olympic titles together.NOMIO is clinically proven to:Lower lactate levels, Reduce oxidative stress, Improve training adaptations And deliver a noticeable boost from the very first dose.
