In this week’s potluck episode, we discuss whether there is a true ceiling to our potential, whether there’s a value in “wintering” or taking time off, and what cross training our hosts recommend.
As athletes, we understand the need for training plans, but have you ever considered applying the same principles to your nutrition? This episode discusses how it’s done.
Two new studies challenge common assumptions: intensity may matter more than volume for healthy aging, and triathlete injury patterns aren’t what most coaches would predict. We unpack what this means for training prescription, and why neuromuscular and strength work belong in every plan.
This course featuring Dr. Andy Pruitt, coach and bike fitter Colby Pearce, and Todd Carver, cofounder of Retül and Head of Human Performance at Specialized, shows coaches how to guide their athletes to dial in the right balance of aerodynamics, power, and comfort for faster, stronger cycling.
See how to protect your personal and business assets—and your athletes—with smart strategies that limit the liabilities for your coaching business.
See how to track your coaching business’s financial health and forecast profit, manage losses, and plan for future financial scenarios.
In this course, co-founder of Metta Endurance, coach Holly Benner provides a step-by-step guide to planning and launching your small business from ownership structure and government filings to finance and business plan.
Drawing from the latest in sports psychology, this course gives coaches a structured approach to developing mental skills and resilience with guidance from Dr. Simon Marshall and pro triathlete and world champion Lesley Paterson.
This course from Dr. Brian Butki and coach Grant Holicky shows coaches how to prepare athletes mentally for race day with Race Day Cognitive Plans, visualization drills, and plug-and-play cues to help athletes achieve their IZOF.
The popular phrase “sleep high, train low” does not fully capture the best practices of altitude training. In this course, coaches learn the physiology, timing, and strategy that makes altitude training more effective.
Experts in medicine, biomechanics, and physical therapy join Dr. Griffin McMath and Trevor Connor to decode the causes of neck pain in cyclists and the strategies that keep athletes strong, steady, and pain-free over the long haul.
These are the activities you can expect to be able to do—and not do—in the first six weeks postpartum.
Dr. Ray Browning joins us to answer a question that even some exercise physiologists get wrong: what is the difference between efficiency and economy?
We talk with Dr. Jennifer Harris about the critical role that parents play in junior athlete development, and why that role is too often ignored or left undefined.
We unpack what pain really means in endurance sport and how ultra-athletes use interoception, mindset, and adaptive coping (vs. maladaptive spirals) to finish stronger—less suffering, more control.
Certain memories—bad race experiences, crashes, or results that don’t meet expectations—can linger, get “sticky,” and rob athletes of the enjoyment of sport. A novel treatment method could help us get over them and rekindle our joy.
In this week’s potluck episode, we discuss whether there are issues with coming down from altitude, how to do a fatigue week with limited time, and whether or not to use auto-pause.
Physiologist Jared Berg talks with us about how he uses both in-lab and on-the-road testing to determine what type of work an athlete should focus on.
