Riccardo Zoidl: Austrian National Champion! Racing ProTour, Cycling Physiology, Training Mistakes

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 physiology! It couldn’t be chopped up!

Topics Include:

Training without a coach
Training without structure
Dominating Early Austrian Races
Trek Segafredo World Tour
How the body feels from training
Endurance and FatMax Midweek riding, and then more training science when he started with Trek!
Cycling Fatmax and Tempo work
Pushing TOO much!
Tempo, high torque, and lactate building rates in regards to training
Mitochondria
Amateurs training too hard
Pre-race season workouts
Lactate Clearance

Phew, made it. There's a lot happening in this episode; stay tuned for the second part coming soon!
