We start by talking about Garmin buying Training Peaks then everything goes to hell in a hand basket (in the best of ways). We talk about how it affects Strava, we look at all the noise in training and discuss technology as good or bad. We look into training and racing by feel and the Tour and Challenge Roth. We take a deep dive into metrics and which ones you should be training with and how to add more. We talk HRV and adjusting workouts each day or on the fly. We look at the trend of forcing more carbs and along with the Norwegian training method and why you might want to think twice. Get obsessed with the basics, then add layers to the recipe.
