EVOQ.BIKE Cycling Podcast

less nervous, more consistence. 

Brody and Josh chat a little bit about everything. Brody raced for Canada in the CX World Championships yesterday, 1/30/22! This chat was before that race and they break down Brody's approach to World Champs, the training buildup and his planned rest period before gearing up for cx in 2022. Big thanks to Brody for taking the time to chat and drop some knowledge!  Be sure to give him a follow for MTB videos and CX course preview rides! @brody_sanderson https://www.awicycling.com/ 0:00 EVOQ intro 00:07 introductions 00:30 impromptu bikepacking 02:05 Pan-Ams recap 06:00 aiming at moving training targets 09:00 shutting it down for 2021 with some fat-biking 10:00 when to start training/racing for cx 11:01 focusing on cross in 2022 12:12 being good at ONE discipline  13:00 building your season with multiple disciplines  15:47 fatbiking - a deep dive! 31:23 fatbike racing! 37:27 bike setup - the pros vs us mortals 41:30 CX worlds chat 45:15 up and coming Canadian cx talent  49:00 behind the scenes info for pro teams/buses 56:00 balancing multiple disciplines  The EVOQ store! https://grindcitydesigns.com/evoqbike/shop/home Josh@EVOQ.BIKE @mr.nogggle @evoqbike

I don't want my heart rate elevated initially by the FIRST hard race efforts; I want to feel that "heart jumping out of the chest feeling" well before the gun goes off. And in order to do that, without shocking the muscles, a proper warm up is a huge advantage! we warm up for intervals, but then let pre-race jitters throw our warm up off, and still try to GAS it from the gun. Ouch!

whether coming back from injury, or just digging into this journey; failure happens, and will help you grow!

Rider on the left needs to watch both paths! Be able to touch the rider next to you. White line thoughts. Do not ride through debris. Have fun!

mid-podcast discovery on not-base-miles-fixie-rides had me on a slight tangent and worm hole, thanks for bearing with. ramp tests: I think you can gain a lot more from other tests when looking for that FTP number.
