D-VELO-P's dorky coaching duo Erik and Fredrik discussing cycling training and related topics. In this weeks episode we discuss the meaning of the acronym F-O-N-E-Y.F-O-N-E-Y stands for Fear Of Not Enough Yield. It is the internal (and sometimes external) pressure to keep doing more, even when "more" is physiologically useless—or worse, harmful.In a world dominated by Strava and social media, F-O-N-E-Y is amplified. We see everyone else’s big weekend miles or high-intensity intervals, and suddenly, our planned 90-minute technical skills session feels "worthless", compared to your friends 5 hour ride or hill intervals.

In this weeks episode we dive into a fascinating study on the five Monuments of cycling.We explore what actually separates the podium finishers from the rest of the top 30 in the world's most brutal one-day races. Is it raw power, or is there a "secret sauce" in how they handle fatigue? We break down the data on "durability," the critical role of torque over cadence, and why the best riders in the world barely see their power drop after six hours in the saddle.
