Guest coach Julie Young answers questions from listeners on fatigue, peaking, returning from injury, and sports nutrition.

Trevor did several great interviews with four top pros—Toms Skujins, Kiel Reijnen, Joey Rosskopf, and Larry Warbasse—for an article he was writing several years ago, and now we want to share their full wisdom.

In this Q&A episode, guest Grant Holicky discusses sweat rate, polarized training for cyclocross, VLamax, and recovery tools.

Rambleur Rising coach and elite gravel racer Kristen Legan answers your many insightful questions on the art of listening to your body, ketogenic diets, glucose transport, and much more.

in Q&A episode, we cover a broad spectrum of topics including sugar consumption and its health effects, safe rates to increase volume, the pros and cons of group rides, the efficacy of topical bicarbonate products, and much more.

Listener Q&A on high intensity (HIIT vs. HIT), pyramid intervals vs. Tabata intervals, gut health, recovery, and CTL

Whether for overall health, improving performance and fitness, or taking mental break, cross-training is a powerful tool with many benefits.

In this episode we do a listener Q&A on altitude training, TSS, and reference some great exercise physiology resources.

In this episode we look at the big picture when it comes to training in zones, or ranges, versus training a target number. Because what number is best?

In this episode we learn about the inception of the polarized method, and we discuss Dr. Seiler’s current research on the all-important aerobic threshold.

We take on questions about training while fasted, goal–setting analysis, and have a discussion on the polarized training approach.

In episode 92, we answer questions on how to structure your training, overtraining, and laboratory testing.

We talk with exercise physiologist Jared Berg about the value of athlete physiology testing like VO2max and lactate testing at the University of Colorado Sports Medicine and Performance Center.

How do we map out our seasons and prepare for a couple events? Do we still need to periodize? Can we be on form all year round?

We discuss four of the most common overuse and imbalance injuries in cyclists and how to address them with off-the-bike work and proper bike fit.

Training zones can have tremendous value when they guide workouts and help us talk about how we train. But training zones can be problematic.

Take a deep dive into functional training with Menachem Brodie—what is it, why do cyclists need it, and how to execute it.
