Big gel bill? Change it up. And The Product I'll Never Promote.
by request, here's the flask I use off Amazon. https://amzn.to/42CcmTm It is extremely durable (has lasted over 20k miles) and doesn't leak.
Aaaaand, the question you should ask any athlete that is pushing a sponsored product.
Jay asked: What’s your nutrition plan for multiple of these a week? As in, split between gels+mix vs solid food, and what solid food are you packing or buying on the road? Gel bill would be sky high with my current nutrition strategy for multiple long days!

Progressive Overload / Block Training / Interval Failure
Sometimes "progression" can make us see failure, when it's not really failure!
00:00 Welcome
01:00 Progressive overload and endurance?
01:40 Progression and RPE; it’s not always MORE WATTS
02:13 If it was always More Absolute Watts…
02:22 Less time, ride harder?
03:01 Hyperfocused on “Block Training”
03:44 The first 5 workouts of a block…
04:28 Arbitrary Starting Point…is 4 x 10 or 5 x 5 or xyz the perfect starting spot?
05:05 How do we look at physiology in our training?
05:42 IF I MISS A SESSION IT DOESN’T MEAN I’M NOT PROGRESSING
07:13 A Threshold Example
08:27 Stay sane during training! This should also be a source of ENJOYMENT!
08:40 MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE when races approach
09:08 don’t overly focus on just one workout. Look at the TRENDS!
09:30 You should be able to tell if you’re getting race ready
09:53 BONUS VO2Max TIP
