Grease_Monkey Posted May 12, 2019 Share Bit of a joke if you ask me. He says he knows caffeine is a performance killer for him, yet drinks a ton of caffeine before the attempt. Surely this is just a poor excuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this is just a poor excuse?Beating a world record takes meticulous planning and preperation with months of research and training... ...or just a wild uneducated stab in the dark and the consumption of products which the world considers performance enhancing but you consider a hindrance...on the morning of the world record attempt.

We must have different definition of easy (or it was those scrumptious vegan sausages and mielies that proved too much of a temptation) ????

Vanzweelism Posted May 12, 2019 Share Hi gents, today was not a good one but I won't give up. We all have addictions that we know are bad for us but we continue anyway. I couldn't deliver the results today and I accept this temporary defeat. One positive thing that came out of today was that I've suffered enough to quit the caffeine for good this time. I'll keep you all updated as to when I'll give it another shot. I still feel confident I can do it despite this failed attempt. For those of you who have iliac artery endofibrosis you should definitely try quitting coffee rather than going for the expensive and rather risky operation. Till next time...

porqui Posted May 12, 2019 Share Just stop it !! Go out and do an Everest. Forget time and everything else. Just stick to the requirements and get it done. There is a 60 year old out there with many in the bag and I know he drinks coffee. Stretch, BigDL, MORNE and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Buttox Posted May 12, 2019 Share before all the quitter talk starts. 1000m VAM for 4 hours?That's still putting 99% of the people here to the swordIf you practice for something, you will achieve it. That's exactly what happened here. So well done for a great half-Everest. If a high-jumper hasn't gotten over the bar in training, he is unlikely to break the record in competition. First do an Everest or two, understand the components, and requirements, and then do it. Noone had a fooken clue what Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt were doing in training in the lead-up to their achievements.

Vanzweelism Posted May 13, 2019 Share Alright so I'd like to clear up more stuff. 1. Social media is my work so this is one important reason why I like to share the whole process of getting the record. I don't just show success, I show failure too. 2. Dropping refined carbohydrate from your diet means your performance will suffer. Froomey has 500 grams of refined carbs over a 5 hour stage in the grand tours. 3. When I said completing an Everest in 12 hours is easy I meant that for me personally it is. There's a big difference between riding each ascent at 220 watts versus racing at 290 watts over such a long period of time. I respect anyone who goes out there and gets an Everest done regardless of how long it took them because it is an extreme undertaking.
