    • 3:00 on when to open your car windows
      • Average vehicle has a CdA of 0.6, so only ~11kW or 14hp used to overcome aerodynamic drag for the average car at 100kph
      • Average vehicle AC units consume 1.5kW - 3.0kW (2 - 4hp). 1.5kW / 2hp costs the equivalent of adding 0.11CdA at 100kph
      • The higher the speed, the greater the CdA hit of opening windows
      • Not much hard Cd data on open windows vs closed windows, but a convertible vs a hardtop delta is 
        • 0.32 Cd for a hardtop and 0.36 Cd for a convertible
    • 13:45 Michael’s first impression of the Garmin 955
      • Solar feature is underwhelming
      • Excellent optical sensor
      • Still full of bugs
      • Very good (seemingly) GPS tracks
    • 25:30 Andrew remembers the Platysense Marlin 
    • 28:00 Speculating about the new Specialized TT helmet face sock

    • 2:00 meet life-long runner and retired professor of engineering Hans van Dijk
    • 5:00 meet (also a) lifelong runner and engineer Ron van Megen
    • 9:00 where does all that work that we do as runners go?
      • Overcoming running resistance (influenced by running efficiency)
      • Overcoming aerodynamic drag
      • Overcoming changes in elevation
    • 11:30 running efficiency / energy cost of running (ECOR)
      • Potentially large interindividual differences: up to 20%!
      • Minimized through training
    • 13:15 aerodynamic drag
      • Average runner CdA is 0.24 in free air and 0.20 while drafting
      • Eliud Kipchoge was down to 0.16 during his Breaking 2 attempt
    • 18:15 changes in elevation
      • Running efficiency improves when running uphill and worsens when running downhill
    • 20:30 factors that influence running efficiency / ECOR
      • Global, multi-year training load: more training tends to reduce ECOR
      • Experiment with: cadene, arm carriage, shoes, etc., to find minimal ECOR
      • Reduce weight 
    • 31:30 factors that affect aerodynamic drag
      • Runner speed
      • Drafting
