Coaches on Couches Ep. 57 – Making the Most of Your Off Season

| October 9, 2019

Since so many people are closing out their seasons (while others continue to race anything they can find) we are going to talk about the importance of the off season. First we will define what an off season actually is, then we’ll chat about what it should be geared toward, and why what you do in the off season is what really moves the performance needle for the following year.

If you are a fall and winter hibernator, but have real goals for next year, you won’t want to miss this!

Coaches on Couches Ep. 56 – Dealing with Extreme Heat and Humidity

| October 2, 2019


Since summer isn’t going out without a fight, we are going to drop our main tips and strategies for dealing with extreme heat and humidity. The topic has been swirling the web it seems, and we think we might know a thing or two about a thing or two on this one since we live and train in the armpit of the United States. That’s not a jab at Memphis. We love our hometown. It’s just hot AF here.

First we focus on our big 3 methods of preparing for a blazing inferno, and then we get on to actual racing and training strategies that can help while you are in the thick of it.

So if you are a cyclist, runner, or triathlete, and you want to perform well in the heat, you won’t want to miss this one!

Coaches on Couches Ep. 54 – Taper Like a Boss and Manage Taper Insanity

| September 18, 2019

It never fails that within a “tapering period” (we are not big fans of the term), a lot of athletes lose their ever lovin’ minds! They just can’t handle changes in volume, plan poorly, freak out, and make stupid mistakes that affect their race performance.

NOT YOU! WHY? Because on this episode we are going to talk you through how to taper like a boss and manage the temporary insanity that can go along with it.

So if you are a late season competitor, tri, bike, run, whatever, put on your armadillo helmet and join us for another round of Coaches on Couches!

Coaches on Couches Ep.53 – The Golden Rules of Bike Racing As a Team

| September 4, 2019

If you race your bike with a group of other people in the same clothing as you, be it a road race, criterium, or on gravel, there are a set of commandments thou shalt follow 95% of the time to insure you all race as a team. Why? A team is stronger than any one individual 95% of the time. It’s true that overall team strategies work about 5% of the time in amateur racing, but if you follow these simple rules your squad will increase those odds tremendously and hopefully put one of your riders on the top step of the podium.
Team glory first! Personal glory 2nd. Don’t trip when you read that.
You want to be a good teammate right!? Well then gather with your squad, grab a soft surface, and join us for another episode of Coaches on Couches.
