I HIT THE SUBSCRIBE BUTTON!

Great looking setup, bike fit and advice from a pro! IM wales for me last year on road bike with my own ‘fit’ was not the best for my back and haven’t cycled since. Back in Mallorca next week and looking forward to a bit of swim bike run training

I have been suffering a lot from calf and achilles tendon injuries, always have had a painful run of the bike and the solution was bringing he cleats,as back as possible to take calf as much as possible out of pedalling action, balancing engagement of gluts and hamstring more, this way quads and calf are more ready and fresh to take loads from running!

Amazing video. Good luck and love how you change over the time

Have a shot everytime Matt Bottrill says 'Like'... drunk by the end of the 3rd minute 😁😆

Hello! What brand of aero bars are you using? Thanks

Ruth should get some of those special prism glasses that climbers use, so that they can look up a cliff from the bottom without getting a stiff neck.

There’s no research to support pedal technique. Marketing bs

What length are Ruth’s cranks 160mm?

so hard to learn a new technique but it will be worth it. i always think of pedaling as the pedals moving horizontally rather than in circles. sounds like you are doing absolutely everything!

It would be really interesting to hear how the bikes feel out on the road after this bike fit. I don't think I will ever get a pro bike fit like this myself (just because of the £££) but there is no harm in having something to dream about 😄

What saddles have you had put on? Are they the gebiomized ones?

Great video and some great tips. Love to know the cost of all of this, Matt's time, new frontend system, new saddle...

You have normal clothes!!?! 😂

Your house looks amazing. 😮

Wine not for breakfast, lol!

5:48 Coach Ruth Astle analysing a completed session by an AG triathlete. 😂

What's with the Swiss Olympic t-shirt? 🤔

I can sooo relate (and sympathise) with your calf issues re' confidence... It's so hard to build that up- especially as what caused it is somewhat vague... potentially resulting in a sub-conscious tension and bias to one side- all of which could hinder the rehab... Fast track sprints and explosive plyometric work built my confidence and strength back- not that I'm suggesting that for you right now... maybe in the future ?

Love watching your workouts. Why the rope routine?

Keep it up Ruth

Epik course, looking forward to this Sunday. 🫡 My first full IM 💪🏼

I hope you win there.

It’s really hard to watch when Ruth is talking about one thing “a short climb” “into the valley” and yet the video is always something completely different 🤷‍♂️

Hmm maybe some GTN inner circle YouTubing at races pending return to racing 🤔

Sounds tough Ruth, keep going!!!

If I had the funds, I think I'd run a similar wheel/gearing set up. I love the thought of being able to run 1x with a decent size ring, but have the ability to bail out into a lower set of gears for the odd hill, which is the only time I really need to drop down as I don't mind grinding. And the speed of the Classified Hub shifting is something I hadn't considered before but it can only be a plus 👍🏻

Ruth, don't listen to those WAC Jobs! and suggesting you should just do UA-cam. You worked too hard to get where you want to be. On the start line with the best Female Triathletes in the world. Stay focused and keep humping! Nice 2024!

As someone who has competed in sports for over 50 years I don't know how you keep going with all your setbacks. I really hope you get to race this year 😄.

UA-cam about other Triathletes....Do a bunch of "behind the scenes" stuff with all your Triathlon besties.

Ruth's pool-running face made me think of Dash from the incredibles! Good luck with the recovery!

I love watching your videos, hate to see you're dealing with injuries and not racing, keep smiling! Hole to watch you at Nice

How do you find the motivation day after day when the weather is shit, injuries play up, and there is no racing on the horizon meaning no prize money either? Triathlon is quite tough as it is but if you are a pro I can imagine how tough it must be to have to put in all the work yet not get any of the racing or the rewards.

Great to see you on the Ironman Hamburg commentary. Nice to have some actual triathlon content amongst the random ‘jokes’ and ‘fun facts.’ 😅

Bless you Ruth, just wanted to give you a big virtual hug, i'm sure your going to smash your next race.

What crank length do you use? It cool that these days we short people can get appropriate crank lengths!

👍

As shorty girl I feel offended about the wheels. What is your inside leg length?

I.M Nice World Championship's... Ready to take off Ruth 🚀

Agree on tire width. Went from 25 to 30 on my TT and its amazing. I cant imagine the disadvantage being too big. I guess if i'd watched your video before ordering i would have gone up to 32 😄

Will we see you in Hamburg 🎉

What are you aiming for in Nice - top 20 / top 10?

Take a shot every time Ruth says Technology

All of that just went right over my head 😮

58 in the front :) the girl is power :) absolute elite level

Nice set up. What kind of bracket is your bike computer mounted on? Looking for a good mount for between my aero bars

That was really interesting. I can't see myself getting any fancy powershift hub any day soon, or any year soon either for that matter, but it sounds as if it might very well be the future as it seems to be all gains and no losses, except to the bank account of course 😄 I only got Di2 last year and am wildly impressed with the responsiveness and so far absolutely faultless shifting it provides. I have also embraced the Di2 wizardry and think the fully synchronised shifting is brilliant. Just shift up or down as you need and let the Di2 sort out the rest, including when to shift from the big to the small chainring, which can of course be customised to suit your preferences.

Interesting- and scary- numbers on the crank/cassettes... I'm running a 11-34 and 46/30.. but it's pretty hilly in N-Wales lol...

Embrace positive affirmations and self-talk to counteract negative energy. Remind yourself of your worth, strength, and potential. You have the power to overcome.

I think you need to be sensible about your injury you have along career ahead of you you’ve had this problem for a while now you need to rehab and get injury completely healed every athlete that doesn’t listen so yes you should completely stop running otherwise later in your life you will pay so you don’t race until next year what does it matter look at the bigger picture go back to work take your mind off you have won 3 Ironman victories so you have the talent so do the right thing dont look at Kat mathews you are ruthless astle think about yourself please good luck 🤞
