Listen Later

Hello everyone. Welcome to the latest episode of The Matchbox Podcast powered by Ignition Coach Co. I’m your host, Adam Saban, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about whether or not it’s worthwhile to perform sweat testing to help dial in your nutrition on the bike and ways to improve training effectiveness amidst demanding work and life weeks.

 

And hey, if you haven’t heard, this summer we are hosting a new training camp in the beautiful mountain oasis of Crested Butte, Colorado! We’re coining it a Leadville altitude camp, even though it’s not actually in Leadville, but really it’s for anyone looking to get some big days of training in this summer. Think picturesque Colorado high country riding, hot tub sessions under the Rocky Mountain skies, massages, personal training, all amidst great company, with plenty of amenities on offer. We only have a handful of spots left and they are fleeting, so don’t wait to reach out if you’re interested. AND if you book your spot before May 1st you’ll save an additional $250 and get early dibs on accommodation preferences. Just email [email protected] with interest and we’ll get you more information.
