EVOQ.BIKE Cycling Podcast

Huge thanks to Forrest Lee Howard for jumping on the podcast to chat about his training. I've been fortunate to share some mega rides and experiences with Forrest, so at times I get a little too chatty with him, my bad (I've been trying to shut up and speak less during these, but Forrest got me hyped lol). So many gems, and the podcast gets better and better as it goes. He closes with some...

Desire, Costs, and Acting on Commitment. This book makes some amazing points for training, and life. It's not a shortcuts book, but it's a focus and use your time wisely book. https://amzn.to/3A69Nw7 This really resonated as I prepare to hit my 5 x 5's today at VO2Max. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ If you're new to the channel, welcome!

I could chat with Michael about training and racingfor 4 hours. In the spirit of not taking up his whole day while he's in Girona, Spain, we kept it to 80 minutes.  Michael goes in depth on how he approaches his training with a wholistic outlook, while racing some of the biggest pro races in Europe.  A truly fascinating conversation with a young ripper with a great attitude and mindset. ATL sh...

Feeling disengaged? That’s ok! What to do... combined race fields...they stink, period. But it's gonna happen. don’t apologize to your coach if you don’t do something. do this for you. When you get so in the groove that you forget how well something worked; you stop doing it and rediscover it “again” down the road; here are 3 things that currently have popped back up for me over tapering, this...

Hey Brendan, I'm interested in your thoughts about whether Ketones provide any benefit for a short race, maybe lasting about a 1 1/2 hours or so? Or is any potential increase in performance for such a short effort so minimal it wouldn't be worth spending $30? After you listen, if you want to try, and get 15% off, these are my favorite: https://tinyurl.com/DeltaGKetones ++++++++++++++++++++...

by request, here's the flask I use off Amazon. https://amzn.to/42CcmTm It is extremely durable (has lasted over 20k miles) and doesn't leak. Aaaaand, the question you should ask any athlete that is pushing a sponsored product. Jay asked: What’s your nutrition plan for multiple of these a week? As in, split between gels+mix vs solid food, and what solid food are you packing or buying on the...

Hunter Allen is the OG, and all due respect to him, but he recently sent out an email/blog that paints Polarized Training in a weird way, and then he presents some miscalculated training distributions for 10 hour a week athletes. Just want to review what Polarized Training means in my opinion, and to provide another option for time crunched athletes. I would not recommend spending 5 hours at tempo...

What's are some ways we can train VO2Max coming out of base, when 5x5's might just be way too much at first?

Here are some other EVOQ resources that might be helpful to you. Good luck with the trainin...
