HUGE thanks to Claudio for sitting down and chatting. It was awesome to hear from someone that has RACED in some of the biggest races in the world, won a National Championship in Team Pursuit, and now coaches at Astana. If you like training articles, be sure to check out the blog, and get in touch with us for a Free Power File Analysis. www.evoq.bike/blog Now, to the show notes: The early years; what was "training" like when Claudio was young UCI Races as a Junior, how did his training get broken up amongst rides with friends? 2006-2010: The Pro Years! Running indoor experiments in his lab...aka basement! Can you increase someone's internal motivation? What was training like in the U23 years (we jumped around a bit) What's the most important thing in training...no, he didn't say consistency or volume!! This was a good one. A great chat around: 1) Strength and Power 2) Aerobic Power 3) Endurance Long Rides

Love this one.
