The Strong Savvy Cyclist & Triathlete Podcast

For many endurance athletes looking to boost performance, one of the most common questions I get is "How do I boost my watts per kilo with fat loss?" While for many riders the answer is far more about better managing their energy, putting their focus on rest and recovery, or simply eating more....for others who do have a higher than healthy body fat percentage, fat loss is a legitimate and sometimes very necessary path. In this episode we share the 8 foundational points that any endurance athlete (or gym goer) needs in order to heathily and more easily lose fat- or to be more precise: How to properly change your Body Composition.

Summer is officially here, and that means it's time to hit the heavier weights (by RPE, or course!) and to get in some plyometrics alongside, to help get your power and strength on the bike or run up! But this goes against pretty much all "common knowledge"! In-season should be just my sport and "core work"....Not if you're looking for your best performances! But the Amount of heavy lifting and plyometrics you do matters, as does the quality of each. In this episode Jason Fitzgerald of StrengthRunning.com shares with us how to think about strength & plyometrics, as well as how to best dose them for the results you want, and deserve!
