A quick echo pops up early on, but we fixed it immediately...keep moving forward!In this episode of the EVOQ Bike Podcast, host Brendan Housler interviews pro cyclist Jimmy Schurman about his impressive victory at the Green Mountain Stage Race and delves into his self-coached training regimen. Jimmy shares insights on his training philosophy, specific workout routines, and how he prepares for key races. He also discusses his recovery strategies and the importance of listening to one's body. The conversation covers various aspects of training, from VO2 max workouts to threshold sessions, and touches on Jimmy's goals for the upcoming season.
