Should I Have a W/KG Goals? What's My Potential Ceiling? Is Domestic Pro Even Worth It? Bike Origin - a podcast by EVOQ.BIKE

I like this episode of Cat 4 Questions Episode 9, as it's not just power and watts and speed related.  This guy asked about what his potential ceiling is and where should his cycling career go as a 29 year old that rapidly went from Cat 5 to Cat 2.  The cycling landscape is changing rapidly, and with road cycling shifting around (not dying) and gravel exploding along with gran fondo's, I think it's a fair question to ask: is being domestic pro even worth it anymore?  The short answer is yes. The experience that you'd gain and the ability to see the US and possibly Europe and Asia sounds ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.  But, at 29, is it worth throwing eggs in this basket? We discuss.  Watts per kg...I wouldn't shoot for one number; 5 w/kg has been a gold standard but seems outdated to me. You're a great cyclist at 5, but by no means phenomenal.  Check out this video, and let me know if you want to hear more of my origin story in cycling. I'm happy to share it all with you, but I'm not sure if that offers a ton of value for your time.  Thanks for watching and please share this with a friend!  Brendan@EVOQ.BIKE
