In order to find success in hill climbs, we need both aerobic and anaerobic power. The training needs will differ athlete to athlete, but also based on what the COURSE demands (a 3m Hill Climb or KOM should be ridden differently than a 10 minute Hill Climb or KOM). I hope this video helps parse this out. Shill: If you do need help, I'd recommend you look at the VO2Max link below, and the Over...

Huge thanks to Aidan for coming on to the podcast. Aidan runs Charles Coaching, aka CCNS, and I've known his name ever since I started riding, when Big Ben Wolfe and I were at a training camp in California. Aidan and I discuss a lot of training topics, including the classic HR vs PWR, heat adjusted power, 30/30s for VO2max and when they are too anaerobic, and a ton more. Hope this helps you ge...

Did you hear Andy Coggan on the Inside Exercise podcast? He goes against the grain on Zone 2 training. There is longstanding misconception that you need to oxidize fat to become better at oxidizing fat. "We are good at this without training”. I'm a huge fan of Zone 2 endurance training, so I'm a bit biased here, but at the same time, I don't agree with everything in the podcast......

Some good reminders here. Main topics include: Part of race prep is racing. Sodium and Feed Zone Planning Environmental changes at your next race Tactics: possibly misplayed this one even though I got shelled before I got a chance to execute it! Plan for 2024 No excuses, just didn't have it. Didn't bring the A game, and even if I did, maybe I'd get the same result. Dudes were RIPPING....

Landry posted an awesome blog recently, and I wanted to highlight some of the big points in this video: 1. I only have 60 minutes to ride; should I make it a tempo ride? 2. What are the benefits of the "middle" zone, say tempo or low threshold? 3. Is there an appropriate time to do intervals by RPE and not look at the numbers? 4. I know I shouldn't go for KOMs on every ride, so how c...
