When and how to adjust the training calendar accordingly. Cost/benefit. Aayyeeee Monday Let’s Go!!!

Oh yeah, hunky dorey peachy keen but at min 10 I do explain that of course things can get frustrating; but it’s just biking, and it will work out. 🚀🚀🚀🚀

Yes, we could easily take the monies from templates and consult requests; here’s why we don’t do them, and instead offer a Free Power File Analysis. It's simply to help you on the education side to point your training in the right way if you can't afford coaching. I'm not saying we're martyrs; hopefully that tone shines through this channel. I just require our coaches to be willing to give something out, and back to cycling, for free. Give good, get faster. We all want that! Brendan@EVOQ.BIKE

A great Cat 4 Question came in! "Did i lose fitness over winter from riding indoors?” Do most cyclists lose FTP and fitness over winter? I’m looking forward to outdoor rides again, and my “fitness” has been tanking like a rock since only indoor riding and going on trips. I can’t get enough TSS to push my fatigue much over fitness if at all." Remember that all CTL is not created equally...check out the video on how you might be more prepared to race with a CTL of 70-80 versus 100. Don't hyperfocus on one set of metrics.

Huge thanks to Ted for coming onto the podcast!  Quick show notes:   Catching up on the two races that I was in with Ted King, one wayyy back in the roadie life, and my first gravel race, 2019 Land Run. Ted’s trajectory and evolution of going through the early roadie ranks. Being in the moment, whether cycling or life. Maybe not thinking of the “next thing”. Cognition of retirement from the road during his last season with Cannondale-Garmin. Getting philosophical with Ted King. The acuteness of cycling today; are you a specialist? Inspiration and motivation from his previous teammates. Grand Tours and One Day Classics; a world apart in terms of experience. What does Ted love apart 10 day stage races? Tire sizes. 38, 42, 44…and MORE!! Damn, I was over-inflating my tires. Ted’s move from road to gravel and having some sponsors reach out to him, and Rebecca Rusch taking him under her wing. DIRTY KANZA / Unbound Gravel King Family Racing! Ted’s first Grand Tour Peter Sagan doing no-handed wheelies up gravel while everyone else is redlining in Italy. Tangents…THOR HUSHOVD!

Also if you listen to the very end, I compare 2010 GMSR to 2013 GMSR. I hope that motivates you to see the forest, play the long game. 76th in TT to 7th. Quite a different racer three years later if you do the work.
