EVOQ.BIKE Cycling Podcast - A podcast by EVOQ.BIKE

FINISH THE INTERVALS! REPEATABILITY TRAINING BY FEELINGS Explain what a stagiare is? Aka trainee, at super tough Italian races with Astana, but didn’t get signed. What does he need to develop in order to be competitive at those pro races that are just too hard right now? It’s not a one off slam, it’s repetitions! Fatigue resistance or repeatability. Everyone can warm up and crush; but what do you have at the end of hour 4 or 5? What does the training session mean? Garmin screen during an endurance ride, and the small chain ring during the recovery rides. The personalization of heart rate on your rides; so many variables. Disliking the gym during race season. The need for hard intervals aside from just the racing. BANGERS: 3 x 8 minutes with 7-8 minute recovery; these sound brutal!! Also, look at the whole block: The entire 8m + the recovery blocks in between. Sometimes the Unders are the harder portion of the intervals Finish the intervals!!! Don’t go home even when the watts are not your best!! Too strong of coffee before the ride! https://youtu.be/hV6mRHm4TLA
