This episode is all about track racing! North Texas sadly just lost a world class Velodrome facility, which also formerly served as Christian and Noah's home track. Topics include Track Nationals, Worlds, Roubaix, Track surfaces/types/distances, Crashing, Tips for Beginners, Benefits for Roadies, and more! 

Here's a video from one of our trips to Belgium.  At about 3m50s, you can see us ride into the Roubaix Velodrome.

In this episode, Christian and Noah kick off with a blog entry from the WRA Coaching Family "Secret" FaceBook group. Apologies in advance for the sound quality, as the wrong microphone engaged during the recording process. The producer has been fired and new one hired in his or her place. Also, none of the upcoming episodes are like this, so don't worry. Thank you again for your overwhelming support.

Keeping track of your heart rate in training AND first thing in the morning, gives you a whole stream of data about your body that you can use not only to improve performance,  but also quality of life. Make sure you aren't breaking any rules of training with heart rate though (looking at you, 4th cup of coffee person).

It feels like the modern idea of a bicycle, particularly racing bicycles, is in a full state of flux. From disc brakes to 1x11 wireless electronic shifting, where is this all going??

In this episode, no problems are solved. It's a starting point for an important conversation. Have you ever thought the category system (5, 4, 3, etc.), with entirely separate Masters and Juniors divisions above and below, might be a bit complicated? You're not alone.
