The Purple Patch Race Ready Replay Series rolls on this week with an hour of power on all things related to bike performance and race-day execution. Optimum bike fit, posture, equipment, and pacing strategies are all covered in this episode that features two of the best in the industry, Ivan O\'Gorman and Chris Soden of IOG Bike Fit and Consulting.

As you\\u2019ll hear, IOG\\u2019s approach to consulting is informed by research, while their recommendations are driven by years of experience. Put simply - they will help you as an athlete not only ride faster, but also run faster off the bike.

Topics and questions covered include:

• Is aero everything for every athlete?

• What do you look for in a virtual or in-person bike fit?

• How much time should athletes allow before races to make significant bike fit changes?

• Why is power different on the road vs. an indoor trainer?

• Why is power different on a road bike vs. time-trial bike?

• When is it best to come out of aero? Is there a speed or hill grade?

• What is normal vs. abnormal discomfort on a bike?

• What type of aerobars are the best?

• Where should I put my nutrition?

• What tire pressure should I run on my race wheels?

This episode won\'t drown you in numbers and science, but it will improve your race preparation and confidence no matter your ability or skill level.
