The Top MUST KNOW Cycling Skills To Go Faster

Over the last 16 weeks, we’ve coached an athlete who literally travels around the globe for work. He’s in 3 different countries, U.K, America, and Australia, at any given time in any given month.

This makes training for an Ironman quite difficult... Or so you’d think!

Not only has he been able to train efficiently over the last few months, he’s been able to improve and then some.

Tune in as we track Jeff's progress.

Two identical triathletes take on a training program.

The first does mostly easy training with some high-intensity sessions.

The other does mostly easy training with threshold workouts and minimal high-intensity sessions.

Who comes out on top?

That’s the question we aim to answer today.

The two examples provided are polarised and pyramidal training models.

And there’s a huge debate about which approach is superior.

As always, this episode is brought to you by our proud sponsor Giant Australia. For all your bike, training, and racing needs, ride life, ride Giant.

Join us as we dissect what went wrong with the SuperCoach , emphasizing the importance of objective analysis and the invaluable lessons learned from failure.

Welcome back to another case study episode where we review one of our athletes and break down exactly what we did with them to get an improvement, PB or great race result! 

In today’s case study is 30-year-old athlete Dayne from Melbourne. Like most athletes his goal was simple, he just wanted to improve and race better.

The goal is simple but that path to get there isn’t always.

Dayne was already an above-average athlete, he’d done a 4:47 half ironman before coming to us, and he could run in the 1:30s for a half marathon.

So as always, we’ll take you through the key changes he needed to make to get more out of himself and get some EPIC PB's in the half ironman.

How should I train if I only have limited time available each week?

We know the perfect training program would probably mean you train 15-20 hours a week, but for most age groupers this just isn’t realistic.

And for many of you out there, you only have as little as 6-7 hours of training time available each week.

So what should you do? Just give up on your goals because you can’t compete with how much everyone else trains?

Absolutely not. 

There are ways to make it work, and we’re going to identify the key things you can do in today’s episode.

As always, please remember our unwritten rule: if you enjoy our podcasts and find them helpful, the best thing you can do for us is to share the podcast on your social media or with an endurance friend who you think might also like it. 

And of course, this episode is brought to you by our proud sponsor Giant Australia. For all your bike, training, and racing needs, ride life, ride Giant.
