Age is just a number. Few athletes know that better than Rebecca Rusch, who joins us to discuss how to adapt and perform at the highest levels of sport as you age.
Learn how to reframe your mindset about training. Let’s throw away outdated athletic goals in terms of “climbing mountains.” Rather, think about your athletic journey as an orbital path with your Dream, Goal, or Objective at one point, three-quarters of the way around the orbit.
In this video, Dr. Seiler thinks out loud—with math—to explore how critical power and variable intensity races might connect in practice.
Physiologist Lindsay Golich, who works with some of America’s best Olympic athletes, helps us field questions on heat, altitude, FTP testing, fasted training, and much more.
Greg Choat, cycling coach and bike fitter, discusses his work helping a human body fit seamlessly onto a carbon or metal frame.
We sit down with sports nutrition expert Asker Jeukendrup to discuss potential performance gains from modifying carbohydrate load during training.
Evolution as an athlete is something that will come if you stay active for long enough. Navigating those changes can be a challenge, but athletes like Jessi Stensland seem only to improve with their years.
Coach and endurance mountain bike champ Daniel Matheny helps us field questions on coaching junior athletes, how aerobic capacity is impacted by intensity, PVCs, and much more.
How much training is too much? Where is the drop-off in terms of time spent training and race-day results?
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries are far too common in cycling. We define the causes, effects, management, and preventative measures.
Riding in a time trial position increases the functional load on a rider, particularly when compared to road riding. Learn about the key components of an effective time trial position.
What lessons did we learn from a challenging 2020? What event or adventure plans do we have in 2021? We dive in.
The mountain bike fit conversation continues with coach James Wilson. Clipless pedals, pedal width, and length are debated as well as the all important pedaling technique!
Dr. Stephen Seiler explores whether a Zwift race of about 60 minutes can be a decent substitute for a 60-minute FTP test.
Cardiovascular drift is measured on the bike by looking at a rise in heart rate relative to power. Dr. Ed Coyle shows us the science behind it.
Scott Moninger is a crafty all-rounder with nearly 400 wins. He and Colby swap tales and talk about coaching.
Pro mountain biker and coach Hannah Finchamp helps us field questions on time-crunched training, zone 1, interval design, and more.
