07/05/21 • 94 min
Host topics covered on this episode:
1:30 Listener feedback
4:20 What is a graded exercise test?
8:15 Where do you get your training information? We discuss the differences between layman’s articles (e.g. blogs) and peer-reviewed scientific articles as coach/athlete resources.
25:55 Continuous improvement is important as a coach. We discuss what is on our “coaching to-do lists”:
Nose breathing; functional reserve capacity (FRC); critical power vs. FTP; mental skills toolbox; gaining more experience; male vs. female endurance training; alternatives to performance management chart (PMC) (Trainingpeaks); continuous glucose monitoring; Aerolab vs. Aerotune; Golden Cheetah and R analyses; training during caloric deficit; altitude training in Europe; grit questionnaires.
Audience Question:
86:00 General advice for entry level cyclists.
