Ep. 9: Tour de France Rest Day Show with Coach Robby!
07/16/18 • 55 min
It’s Recovery Monday here at the FasCat HQ and a rest day in the Tour de France, so what better to do than record a podcast? We’re joined once again by Coach Robby Ketchell, who has spent time in many Grand Tours, including the Tour de France. We talk about all things rest day, including what riders actually do on these breaks from the race, how the techniques and concepts apply to amateurs, and a recap of some of the key moments of the race so far. We also give a bit of a preview into the next section of the Tour and what we predict will happen.
If you’re interested in working with Robby to improve your cycling performance, he’s now available as a FasCat coach! To get started fill out our new athlete questionnaire for a coaching consultation.

How to CRUSH the Crusher in the Tushar
The Crusher in the Tushar, one of the premier mixed terrain bike races in the country, is a cruel, brutal yet beautiful event. It covers 70 miles and 10,000 feet of elevation gain in the Tushar mountain range of Southern Utah, and is easily some of the most difficult 70 miles you’ll ever do. This week on the podcast, we break down the course and provide insight into the race strategy so you can crush with confidence. Coach Frank has attended multiple Crushers, and has won his age group as well.
We break down the course and what you can expect out there come race day. Be sure to check out the video version of this podcast on our YouTube channel for a more in depth look at the TrainingPeaks and GPS data from the race!
