A great Cat 4 Question came in! "Did i lose fitness over winter from riding indoors?” Do most cyclists lose FTP and fitness over winter? I’m looking forward to outdoor rides again, and my “fitness” has been tanking like a rock since only indoor riding and going on trips. I can’t get enough TSS to push my fatigue much over fitness if at all." Remember that all CTL is not created equally...check out...

Huge thanks to Ted for coming onto the podcast!  Quick show notes:   Catching up on the two races that I was in with Ted King, one wayyy back in the roadie life, and my first gravel race, 2019 Land Run. Ted’s trajectory and evolution of going through the early roadie ranks. Being in the moment, whether cycling or life. Maybe not thinking of the “next thing”. Cognition of retirement from...

Also if you listen to the very end, I compare 2010 GMSR to 2013 GMSR. I hope that motivates you to see the forest, play the long game. 76th in TT to 7th. Quite a different racer three years later if you do the work.

Part Two With Jason Hilimire! ATTENTION ROADIES that think you can’t learn from a MTBer: At least jump in at minute 17! Learning how to hit 30 foot jumps Amateurs do it until they get it right; Pro’s do it until they can’t get it wrong. REPETITIONS Train to the terrain around you Skills MTB Coaches Finding the different way to go through the trail, OR LIFE When you think you have it dialed….but do...

I like the tangents.

This was a great Cat 4 Question emailed in. We've all heard the analogies about pyramids and foundations, but let's look at what is really going on, and then HOW it affects your FTP and VO2Max. To be brief, yes, riding endurance will help you with those really hard efforts. Here's his question: Why does base, or endurance cycling, matter? All through athletics the answer I get has always been an a...

❤️❤️❤️❤️🚀

I don't hate group rides! I'm just really selfish with trying to get better cause getting dropped suuuuucks

Blah blah coffee mouth blah blah. Tangents. You’ve been warned. 🙏🏽

Huge thanks to Jason for coming on, one of my first coaches! A lot of these tips can be applied to any cycling discipline, whether MTB, Gravel, Road, and dare I mention cyclocross. More on that later ;-) You can follow him on IG at @jasonhilimire THE MAN THAT STARTED IT ALL. Quick overview of the MTB disciplines for us roadies out there tuning in What do you need to be prepared for in order to WIN...

Need to cut hours? Often times, we over exaggerate how bad the schedule will become. We overthink how big of a disruption this will become. How do I reduce volume without losing my hard earned fitness? **Make sure you look at how long the reduction will be!*** If it’s only 1-1.5 months time, that is NOTHING in the grand scheme of things! Maybe you just need to adjust the goals if the reduction of...

Things got going quickly in this one! Admittedly, I was a bit nervous getting ready to talk to such a powerhouse athlete. Shout out to our newest coach, Alex Sankovic, who has been a massive help in getting some of these world class athletes to share their journey with us. I wanted to make this 20 minutes, but from 15 minutes until the end, Riccardo goes on a great thread regarding training and ph...

#AskACyclingCoach...I only post this since Nate kept jabbing: "Sorry Coaches....this replaces coaching." So I asked Nate if he had a coach, and listen to hear his reply; and also, what he thinks coaches are good for, that was not mentioned in his podcast episode. I'm not even going to touch the "six energy systems"....cringe. Topics in this episode include a friendly conversation of what a coach o...
