Description

This episode addresses common questions about winter/off-season training, and goes into how we plan and individualize effective winter training. We answer questions like whether it be all "zone two", when and how to include strength training, if you should do intervals and how hard they can be, sweetspot vs polarized, incorporating fun rides or Zwift and other virtual racing, and more. We share our thoughts on what we actually consider when we're planning training for our coaching and consultation clients like off-bike stress, race schedule, fatigue management, training history and personal physiology, dealing with fitness loss and expectations for regain, plus we answer a bunch of listener questions!
