EVOQ.BIKE Cycling Podcast

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 get faster! Check out Aidan's links below, as well as EVOQ's! https://heatadjustedpower.com/https://www.charlescoaching.com/ 👋🏽 If you're new to the channel, welcome!

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...all roads don't lead to Rome. If you're high intensity days are Sweet Spot, good luck at a road race or criterium or gravel race (more on that in an upcoming episode). He does not "pull punches" when San Millan's obsession with Zone 2 training comes up. "The single most important aspect of endurance performance is Muscular metabolic fitness (lactate threshold) vs cardiovascular fitness (vo2max)" “People think that lab based testing is the gold standard", and that is not true! PERFORMANCE ITSELF IS! Science is not the gold standard. Definitely give the episode a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6DhfMJH84E 👋🏽 If you're new to the channel, welcome!

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. ONWARDS! 👋🏽 If you're new to the channel, welcome!

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 can i incorporate that? It's fun! 5. How "bad" are surges on Zone 2 rides? Let's say if I only have 5 of them 6. Muscle fiber types, Do anaerobic fibers become aerobic fibers with endurance training? 7. If my training already has 3-6% of Zone 5 and 6, do you think I'll get faster with more endurance miles?
