    Trying hard to add another hook but the sum of the Escape Collective offering is generally watered down and not worth the money.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why annual training strategies are still key but now much more flexible
Q: How do you fit a training plan around multidisciplinary athletes who race all year?
We need to adjust our planning and be ready to adapt based on the athlete's response to stimuli.
Why annual training strategies are still key but now much more flexible
Q: What is an annual training plan?
It's a strategic framework that maps out your progression, training, load, and intensity throughout the year.
There’s no optimal crank length, but there is too long
Q: What are some of the benefits that these shorter cranks offer?
Shorter cranks increase comfort, aid in achieving a more aerodynamic position, and reduce peak load on the joints, which can help prevent injuries.
Why the most common answer to aero questions is 'it depends'
Q: How do you determine what those conditions are going to be?
It's about understanding the context of the race and testing in conditions reflective of those circumstances.
Creatine for Cyclists? Separating the hype from the science
Q: Why do we associate creatine with weight gain?
Weight gain from creatine is largely due to water being drawn into muscle cells, which can provide a slight increase in weight typically around half a kilo up to a kilo during the loading phase.
