OVERVIEW
Time-Crunched Cyclists have to get creative to integrate training into their busy lives. We get plenty of listener questions about various options for adding training hours to a busy schedule. In Episode 257 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast", Coach Adam Pulford and co-author of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist" book, coach Jim Rutberg, discuss how and whether to integrate bicycle commutes and indoor cycling desks into your training.

TOPICS COVERED

• Question 1: How can I use my 30-60 minute commutes to improve my cycling training?
• Question 2: I can potentially add about 5 hours of low intensity training to my program by pedaling at a cycling desk in my office. Are these hours beneficial and worth the effort?
