Today the listener controls the show! We talk about building bike strength to be a better climber. We get into how to fall in love with the trainer and the treadmill this winter. We also look at strengths and weaknesses. How do you define them and decide where to put the most work. We get into swimming and how much you should be doing it. Some of the best drills and things to think about. Also, finding your swimming economy and body position. We also look at controlling your breath on the run and raising your bike threshold.
