EP. 28: The Growth of Indoor Cycling and Training/Dr. Allen Lim, PhD

A conversation with Dr. Allen Lim, PhD. He is a sports physiologist, cycling coach, and a founder of Skratch Labs. He’s lent his expertise to Saris and was instrumental in their product development of power meters and indoor cycling trainers. He was also a director of sport science for Garmin and RadioShack cycling teams and is the only American scientist to have worked and cooked for teams at the Tour de France. Dr. Lim has also worked with dozens of top American cyclists to improve their performance and nutrition.

We discuss the global pandemic moving more people to train indoors and in isolation and the impact. We talk about the benefits of training indoors and address common questions regarding how close a relationship does indoor training have to training outdoors. Dr. Lim offers his perspective on where indoor training and fitness is going.

We talk about how the co-evolution of wearable technology, big data and AI and how it is reshaping the entire fitness and coaching businesses and where it may lead to in the future.

We get into bike geometry and whether or not all for the new “super bikes” have any real measurable benefit to the triathlete to justify the high costs.

We discuss nutrition and how all of the data we have now with indoor training technology may inform athletes nutrition and fueling decisions.

We discuss Scratch Labs, a company Dr. Lim founded as a nutrition, fueling and nourishment company for athletes that is best known for its hydration mix.
