Episode 84 - Tempo vs Sweet Spot, Progressive Overload, and Female Race Fueling

Hello everyone. Welcome to the latest episode of The Matchbox Podcast powered by Ignition Coach Co. I’m your host, Adam Saban, and unfortunately I was unable to make this weeks show due to losing my voice but I’m happy to say we had a much welcomed guest on the show in my place, Will Pfeiffer. Will is a newer coach with Ignition who brings a lot of sports science knowledge and insight, which fit perfectly into this weeks topics. The crew dives into the nuances between tempo and sweet spot training, how to incorporate progressive overloading at various times in the season, and whether there are any alternative fueling requirements for female racers.

Today’s show is also brought to you by Flow Formulas. Don’t wait until the week of your big race to finally start dialing in your race fueling. Get on top of your nutrition game now by heading over to flowformulas.com and make sure to use the discount code “Matchbox” when checking out.
