Livestrong.

 

[amp300]

"cycle" or "cycling"

I mean you could use it for the obvious, but it was used in front of me during a conversation about what steroid cycle a person was using. The short hand was "Are you cycling"? A younger me would have seen this as a way to join the conversation by jumping in and talking about bi"cycling". Thankfully older me was present and just continued to drink my beer.

I also nominate this

Carmichael Training Systems

as best one in this thread.

and here comes the sad truth from little Richie - TREND-SETTING!



“How many teams are doing 25 minutes of threshold training at altitude? Do they look at our strength? We do our jobs. We’re professional,” he said. “Everyone used to laugh at us when we started to ride our trainers after the stages. Now 90 percent of the peloton is doing it. We’re trend-setters.”

[fruit bars with eyes]

negative splits

another "SKY 'tactic' that has almost become de rigeur" according to the hilarious Carlton Kirby (at least 6 mentions yesterday)

you see, for years every other sports scientist and DS thought that ITT wasn't about threshold riding and pacing yourself, it was about going off hell for leather than blowing our yer ar*e for the second half - but SKY changed all that - so now, if other teams follow the SKY lead and instead go faster for the second half , they will find their results will improve
