Braking Efficiently To Save Watts & Preserve Input Power
Show Notes

Braking has the potential to not only save watts expended but can also save more power in your legs. It's been calculated that 25% of the watts put into the pedals are burned in braking. When you learn to brake more efficiently you waste fewer watts during braking and can use the brakes less often when cornering saving power in your legs. This week on FASTER we talk with Dr. Matt Miller about breaking and his compnay Brake Ace. Matt literally has a PHD in braking. Listen to this episode to learn about braking an brake technique so you can become faster. Some times you need to slow down to speed up.
