In this episode of the Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast, Coach Jonathan Lee uses TrainerRoad data to explore how cyclists who reached 3, 4, and 5 watts per kilogram distributed their training intensity across more than 140,000 rides. He also covers how ERG mode may improve indoor workout completion, what the data suggests about cycling durability, and how late-ride power relates to intensity, endurance volume, and fatigue.
