In this conversation, Brendan Housler and Colby Pearce discuss various aspects of cycling training, particularly focusing on how athletes can effectively transition from base training to more specific training as they approach their competitive season. They explore the importance of endurance, the role of anaerobic training, and the value of group rides in an athlete's training regimen. The discussion emphasizes the need for athletes to understand their individual training needs based on their event demands and personal characteristics.Thanks, Colby!
