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.

D-VELO-P's dorky coaching duo Erik and Fredrik discussing cycling training and related topics. In this week's episode, we dive into a fascinating look at the evolution of modern mountain biking.

We get into the weeds of a brand-new 2026 systematic review on the physiology of Olympic Cross-Country (XCO). We break down the staggering data behind the modern race: why it’s no longer a two-hour marathon, how riders handle hundreds of micro-sprints per race, and why your technical skills might actually be your most important physiological "recovery" asset.

D-VELO-P’s dorky coaching duo Erik and Fredrik discussing cycling training and related topics. 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. Tune in for a deep dive into the science of the Spring Classics and our (not-so-surprising) conclusion on why the winners are, well, winners.
