Our host regulars discuss when an unplanned activity—such as commuting—becomes training, how to adjust for an event when returning from injury, and what training to do in the off season.

Our hosts talk with Jared Berg about the nutrition needs of development athletes and whether they should eat differently from their adult counterparts.

We discuss a host of questions, from how to get a little more out of your form in autumn, to fueling needs for short races like cyclocross, and why so many female athletes seem to excel when entering sports later in life.

We talk with Dr. Scott Frey and Tour commentator Brent Bookwalter about how our brains perceive effort and ways we can manipulate that perception to go harder.

In this week’s potluck, we discuss if lighter means you always perform better, how to change things up if you’re not feeling that day’s workout, and what key tips we have to be better coaches or athletes.

Our hosts bring their questions on working out at the end of a long day, how to manage when training races are too easy, and if base ride intensities should be varied.

Originally titled “Stop Your Legs from Fighting (Themselves),” we look back at episode 8 to see how our views—and the science—has changed regarding neuromuscular work.

When does an innovation in speed cross the line of fair competition or safety?

In this potluck we discuss what to do when you’re struggling to hang on to a wheel, what the overall goal of training should be, and how to handle needing to poop during a long running event.

It’s a given that after a race or workout you do a cooldown—but is there any evidence this actually helps? The science may say otherwise.

We’ve talked a lot about sports psychology tactics, but in this episode Dr. Brian Zuleger explains how to effectively apply them to your performance.

Our team dives into these important topics and along the way, Grant shows his “dadness,” while Rob and Trevor argue while making the same point.

“VO2max intervals” is a term used to describe an enormous range of work. We talk with coach Neal Henderson about why they are not all made the same and how best to build that critical race fitness.

For this week’s potluck, we discuss what athletes lose when they don’t have a coach, Grant gets on his soapbox about running and pace, and then asks about training specifically for one event.

Neuroscientist Dr. Scott Frey talks about the hard science behind belief and how our “soft-wired” brain can be an advantage to endurance athletes and coaches.
