Head Coach Ryan Kohler details the profound physiological impacts that altitude can have on our heart rate and power output.
Training and racing at elevation can have a significant impact on performance. We explore some ways to improve your preparation for races at altitude.
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.
