Let’s face it, none of us got into cycling to be inside all the time. The freedom to roam, the fresh air, and getting some vitamin D…all keys to not flipping tables and going postal. But realistically, there are a lot of things that can prevent us from riding outside. We know a lot of riders who absolutely swear off the trainer 12 months out of the year, but there are a lot of advantages to indoor saddle time, ESPECIALLY during the colder months. And that’s what we are going to discuss today. By the end of the show, you’ll be apologizing to that cob web covered trainer in the corner of your garage. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll be dropping hammers in the spring and thanking old turbo for sticking with you.

If you’ve listened to the show before, you know we love strength training. But, should runners, cyclists, and triathletes really lift heavy? Is there really any benefit? Or is the juice not worth the squeeze?
In this episode Coach D and Coach B-Fun break down their thoughts on heavy lifting and offer up some tips on how to avoid some of the common pitfalls of slingin’ steel.

Whether you are a cyclists or a triathlete, you probably have the need…the need…for speed. The time trial isn’t called “The Race of Truth” for nothin’. It’s simple. Fastest time from A to B. But as simple as it sounds, there are a lot of factors that play into how fast you will travel along the route. So today, we nerd out on all things time trail. Well not all things…we’d be here all day. But MOST things time trial!
So with that, grab your goofy looking helmet, dawn your skin suit, shine up your disc wheel, and join us for another episode of Coaches on Couches!

We aren’t pros at this by any means but that’s why we have a RDN on staff! This is a topic we take for granted because we’ve been doing it for so long. We just assume people know they need to eat before and during big training sessions and races. Yet, we constantly get reminded by our newer athletes that it’s not as widely known as we thought. Thanks for smacking us out of our bubble!
So in this episode we cover the basics and some good starting points (with numbers) for fueling before and during long training sessions and races. So for all you starving cyclists, runners, and triathletes out there, sit back, grab a snack, and enjoy two dudes who love to eat talking about food. #alreadyhungry
