  • A lot of inaccurate comments

    Interesting interviews, but man, definitely some inaccurate physics and physiology knowledge being applied to cycling here. If you’re changing training based on this info, I encourage you to critically review the associated literature, academic material, and other primary or anecdotal sources before diving in head first. Because frankly, many elite cyclists and coaches who know the sport well in an experiential manner don’t have the academic horsepower necessary to truly explain much of the “w... more

  • Fantastic Podcast that will provide useful insights and knowledge from hobbyists to Pros

    Over the last 3-4 months I have binged this podcast show and learnt so much doing so. The Trainerroad team and their guests are knowledgeable, interesting, informative and funny. Lots of useful tips and information for all levels of cyclist and disciplines. The scientific deep dives are great, and at the end of the day the hosts are honest and use facts, figures and experience. If you haven’t signed up for Trainer Road as a product, it is great. Has definitely made me faster, with an FTP increas... more

  • Up speak?

    I like the topics here very much. But why does Jonathan speak every sentence as if it was a question? His up speak makes him sound very uncertain or lacking confidence. Which probably isn’t how you’d want to come off if you’re giving advice.

Keegan Swenson’s Tips on Racing, Mindset, Injury, and New Bike Testing | Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast 576
Q: What changes did you make to your equipment and setup during this recovery period, and how did wind tunnel testing influence those decisions?
Keegan discusses trying different tires, saddles, and cockpit configurations, with wind tunnel data helping validate or challenge assumptions about position, clothing, and aerodynamics. The process emphasized passenger fit, pedal stroke, and comfort as critical to long-term performance.
Keegan Swenson’s Tips on Racing, Mindset, Injury, and New Bike Testing | Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast 576
Q: What is your approach to racing when you aren't peaking for the event but still want to learn and perform well.
Enter races with the intent to win but adapt the plan to the race's level; you can still attack, follow wheels, or focus on fueling and course knowledge, using the race as a learning lab rather than a single result determinant.

There was a lot of anger and frustration, but the focus shifted to translating that energy into a rebuild plan: easy riding, rehab, targeted strength work with no heavy weights, and gradually reintroducing intensity while reassessing race goals.

Zach describes staying disciplined to the plan while allowing small, context-driven deviations (like weather or travel) without abandoning the core training objectives, and emphasizes precision of the session goals over chasing large, impulsive performance boosts.
