Description

OVERVIEW
The end of the summer cycling season is the best time to leverage a season's worth of fitness and training without the pressure of upcoming goals. It's the time when you can go have epic adventures, work on performance limiters, go hunting for Strava PRs and KOM/QOMs, complete end-of-season performance tests, and much more. Coach Adam Pulford helps you decide whether to take a break (some people need it, others don't), and how to make the most of the days when the weather is still warm and there's still abundant daylight.

TOPICS COVERED

  • What to do if you still have energy and motivation
  • How to tell if you need time off instead of pushing through
  • Examples of late-season training challenges and adventures
