2019/07/08

Hope you had a great holiday weekend. I had a good one myself, getting some riding in with Aka the Trail Mutt.Aka is getting a little older - just like his master - but he just refuses to slow down. I joke that he gets me out as much as I get him out but it’s true...without his enthusiasm for getting out on the trail as much as possible I probably would have skipped more than a few rides over the last 7+ years. But I’m always glad when I do get out. The combination of being in nature, getting the

This week I’ve got a new podcast to share with you. Instead of a single topic, I had a few random things that wouldn’t make for a whole episode alone so I put them together into this BikeJames Podcast. In this episode I cover… Knee Stomp vs. Hip Stomp: Why “stomp your feet” can be a bad coaching cue for jumping or manualing your bike. The importance of foot position on the bike for using your Hip Hinge and “stomping your feet” the right way (and why this is a major reason the Catalyst Pedals work so

Overtraining: What It Is and How To Avoid It

BikeJames Podcast ·

2018/11/19

Everyone knows that training hard is part of getting better. If you don't push your body past what it did yesterday then it won't have any reason to improve your fitness levels. But we also know that if you push too hard things can go wrong. Usually referred to as Overtraining, almost everyone reading this has experienced the symptoms of pushing our body harder than we should have, which include lack of energy, getting sick and overuse injuries. Your body will force you to take time off and rest but

Spending some time getting stronger is one of the best things you can do to improve your perfomance on the trail. While nothing can replace riding your bike, there are 3 reasons that strength training will help you in ways that just riding your bike can not. 1 - It helps you work on tension skills that you need on the trail but don't do enough on the trail to improve past a certain point. 2 - It helps you work on movements you need on the bike in a less stressful learning environment. 3 - It helps

The Biggest Gimmick in Cycling? Clipless Pedals.

BikeJames Podcast ·

2018/08/13

In this podcast I break down the claims used to sell clipless pedals and expose why they are nothing but a gimmick. Show Notes: The definition of the word Gimmick: A trick or device used to attract business or attention. This includes things that are untrue and have no basis in science or facts. Clipless pedals are sold based on two things that based on this definition are, in fact, gimmicks. The first is the Round Pedal Stroke and the Need to Pull Up on the Backstroke.

Every once in a while I have a lightbulb moment that makes me realize that I have been missing something really important in my training. Like the first time I was introduced to using mobility exercises to compliment my usual focus on “get stronger”, these moments open up a whole new way of seeing the bigger picture that leads to being a better rider. One of these moments happened to me recently at a Steve Maxwell seminar when he was explaining how he uses Isometric Exercises in combination with

So, right off the bat I want to let you know why this may be one of the most important interviews I’ve done on this podcast. Foot health and now it affects your riding is usually something most of us don’t worry about until there is a problem. However, even then most riders are usually in the dark about the best strategies to improve and maintain their foot health. This leads to a lot of riders who just figure that sore feet, uncomfortable feet and the knee, ankle and low back problems that come

Well, it’s official - Ryan Leech is one of my favorite people on planet Earth. Rarely does someone live up to their internet persona but Ryan really is one of the nicest, most giving guys out there. I’ve had the chance to talk with Ryan via Skype several times (a lot of them are published as podcasts) but I hadn’t had the chance to meet him until last week when he rolled through town and invited me and Aka the Trail Mutt for a ride.

Catalyst Pedals 2 Year Anniversary Podcast

This month marks a big milestone for me - it’s the 2-year anniversary of the Catalyst Pedals! That's right, it’s been 2 years since I sent out that first email letting people know about them and seeing if anyone would be interested in pre-ordering a pair. And while I was hoping to sell 100 pairs, we ended up getting over 550 pre-orders. That was a great start and in the last 2 years we’ve gone on to sell over 5000 pairs of pedals and help a lot of riders in the process. To mark the occasion I put

I also explain what the Specificity Spectrum is and how it applies to these 4 physical qualities as they relate to mountain biking. By understanding where you need to get specific with your training and where you want to stay more general with it you can save a lot of time and energy with your training program. Until next time...

BikeJames Podcast ·

2017/07/17

Some people may wonder why I care so much about foot position on the bike. I mean, does it really matter that much? Can’t we just ride what feels good and call it “personal preference”? Well, foot position does matters…a lot. Your foot is constantly sending feedback to the brain and it plays a huge roll in your balance, movement efficiency and power generation. So I guess you could say that foot position only matters if things like balance, movement efficiency and power generation on the bike matter

5 Reasons You Should Be Doing 5 Reps or Less When...

BikeJames Podcast ·

2017/06/11

A persistent myth with mountain bike strength training is that because it is an “endurance sport” then you need to focus on higher reps and lower weights. Using 10-20+ reps per set and the relatively lighter weights they demand is supposed to help build the muscular endurance you need on the trail. And while this makes sense on the surface, there is a flaw to this logic. The truth is that most riders would benefit a lot from doing 5 reps or less per set and handling some heavier weights in the

Why everyone SHOULD start on a hardtail.

BikeJames Podcast ·

2016/11/07

Show notes: - I think that everyone should use self-limiting methods as much as possible when learning something new. - In the gym this means free weight and movements that limit how much load you can do based on your mastery of the movement (TGU and Single Leg Deadlift for example) and on the bike this means a using a hardtail. I’d go so far as to add in flat pedals and 26 inch wheels but that is another topic. - A hardtail forces you to learn how to use your body to absorb impacts on the trail
