They also highlight the need for athletes to understand that they are in the driver's seat and the coach is there to provide guidance and support. In terms of testing, Lindsey explains the limitations of the traditional 20-minute FTP test and the benefits of a more comprehensive test battery that includes lactate and VO2 max testing. They also discuss the importance of setting realistic expectations and embracing the journey of improvement.
