Huge thanks to Forrest Lee Howard for jumping on the podcast to chat about his training. I've been fortunate to share some mega rides and experiences with Forrest, so at times I get a little too chatty with him, my bad (I've been trying to shut up and speak less during these, but Forrest got me hyped lol). So many gems, and the podcast gets better and better as it goes. He closes with some wise words that I will be paying attention to! Follow him at the races, and sometimes he posts on IG: https://www.instagram.com/forrestleehoward/ All of our links below for some free speed and tips. Thanks for watching, and please Subscribe.

Desire, Costs, and Acting on Commitment. This book makes some amazing points for training, and life.

I could chat with Michael about training and racingfor 4 hours. In the spirit of not taking up his whole day while he's in Girona, Spain, we kept it to 80 minutes.  Michael goes in depth on how he approaches his training with a wholistic outlook, while racing some of the biggest pro races in Europe.  A truly fascinating conversation with a young ripper with a great attitude and mindset. ATL should be really proud of this one (I know they are!). Hey Airport Ride, we see you! Thanks Michael, best of luck with all that life has in store for you. BIG THINGS no matter where it goes and what you do. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ New to the podcast?

Feeling disengaged? That’s ok! What to do... combined race fields...they stink, period. But it's gonna happen. don’t apologize to your coach if you don’t do something. do this for you. When you get so in the groove that you forget how well something worked; you stop doing it and rediscover it “again” down the road; here are 3 things that currently have popped back up for me over tapering, this weekend for example….. season opener with Owen!

Hey Brendan, I'm interested in your thoughts about whether Ketones provide any benefit for a short race, maybe lasting about a 1 1/2 hours or so? Or is any potential increase in performance for such a short effort so minimal it wouldn't be worth spending $30? After you listen, if you want to try, and get 15% off, these are my favorite: https://tinyurl.com/DeltaGKetones ++++++++++++++++++++++++ If you're new to the channel, welcome!
