“I think there's a training commitment and then is what you're physically able to do so uh I'm quite fortunate in that I don't have a wife and kids and a very demanding job or physical job manual labor job so I'm able to commit something around 15 hours a week to cycling and so that's just unrealistic for some people but I think I also do that because I like to Road Race and do some other things and because I enjoy riding the bike it's not to say that 15 hours a week is the requirement or the Baseline”

“if I was doing a 90minut session I would never spend more than three or four minutes out of the skis at one time um and certainly in the end of won't come out at all because it's you're capitulating really it's if if you're if the intensity is so hard you have to come out skis it's too hard”

“to make a substantial difference you're talking 10 kilos or more okay so for example if you say oh I know I could lose two kilos uh and be and I might potentially lose some power with that I go not bother don't bother two kilos is going to make no difference in terms of your your uh race time because you know once you're up 50k hour the overwhelming things L you down is air resistance”
