How Pablo lifts when there are no races (heavier weight)…higher reps and slower movements

When races come, shorter workouts and shorter movements.

Potentiation: works for higher end, but long efforts are very tough! Can we lift heavy on the day of long intervals?

Not letting tertiary lifts go to the wayside.

Sleep and Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

Tracking non-bike TSS

Endurance isn’t sexy.

Going overkill on the Performance Manager Chart.
The importance of consistency even when the volume can’t be high due to work and school.

Riding after the rest week. 🚀 or 🤨

Favorite Intervals before a race. Fitness with tired legs.

Race nutrition! Solids or liquids first?
