How Do I Lose Weight With Cycling?

You do need a lot of protein, especially if you want to preserve the lean mass that you already have. You're not going to u not ging to dance through weight loss while doing endurance training coupled with strength training. And hope everything just feels good the whole time.

Episode notes

Coach Chad, Amber Pierce, and Hannah Finchamp join Coach Jonathan for a deep dive into protein for cyclists, discussing how much endurance athletes of all kinds should be taking in, if you should ingest it on the bike, plant-based alternatives and more. We’ll also dig deep into VO2Max training, training stress and much more.
