In this episode of the Consummate Athlete Podcast, we answer listener questions on training through the chilly fall and early winter season, including a common question: why is heart rate often lower when it's cold out? We explore how to get the most out of heart rate-based training by considering your specific conditions and context. We also look at alternatives to training software like Zwift, such as watching bike races or movies for added motivation. Finally, we cover outdoor cold-weather riding tips, including dressing (and over-dressing) strategies to stay warm and comfortable.

Can Group Rides be Part of a Training Plan and how do you include them around intervals and steady endurance riding without over or under loading? The second question is about including Heavy Strength Before MTB Race? We go through how we think about general/goal-based plans that we put on training peaks and discuss the benefits of our 3 month Made for you Plan and coaching for those who are extra keen, use many modalities and who train year round.

In this episode of the Consummate Athlete Podcast, we chat with John Shep, a teacher, ultrarunner, and host of the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast, who recently accomplished the incredible feat of completing the Triple Crown of Ontario—three grueling 100-mile races: Sulfur Springs, Halliburton, and Tally in the Valley.

John discusses the importance of local racing, community support, and his favorite (and hardest) moments from the Triple Crown. John also opens up about a recent, terrifying experience of being hit by a car while out on a run, which leads us into an important conversation about runner safety.

In this episode Molly and Peter discuss what a training plan or coaching might look like in the 'off-season', which is the periods of the year away from the competitive season. This phase is sometimes referred to as the transition or preparation phases and comes before the base or acccumulation phases. For athletes wanting to 'go to the next level' or improve their results this phase of the year might be the missing piece! We also discuss Session RPE (sRPE) versus RPE and how to use feeling in your workouts.
