Topics covered in this episode:

  • Question #1: How to train in the weekdays between race weekends?
    • Recovery and going into the next race weekend fresh is the top priority
    • One mid-week ride should incorporate intervals similar to the race-prep training you completed before the current racing block
    • Sample weekday schedule included
  • Question #2: Can running be incorporated into Time-Crunched Cyclist training programs?
    • Yes. For TCC, running can be a time-efficient way to target aerobic development. 
    • Caveat: If you're new to running or run infrequently, be very conservative with the effort level and duration.
  • Question #3: How to train upper body to prepare for rough surfaces in gravel and mountain bike races?
