Keywords
cycling, training, racing, pedal stroke, power imbalance, goals, VO2 max intervals
Takeaways
Having a power meter that measures both left and right power can help identify and address power imbalances in pedal stroke.For most athletes, a power imbalance of 48/52 or 52/48 is not a cause for concern.When setting goals for races, consider factors such as race distance, terrain, and competition level.Pacing strategies should be tailored to the specific race and individual capabilities.VO2 max intervals can be customized based on the type of rider and their specific energy system needs.Tabata-style workouts can be effective for improving VO2 max, but should be used strategically and not as the sole focus of training.Training plans should include a combination of race-specific intervals and general intensity workouts for optimal results.Consider individual factors such as fitness level, training history, and race goals when designing training plans.Experimentation and learning from mistakes are important for building race experience and improving performance.Titles

Summary
In this episode, the hosts discuss various aspects of cycling training, focusing on pedaling drills, heart rate changes with increased training volume, and the use of lactate testing to measure workout intensity. They explore the effectiveness of different pedaling techniques, the implications of heart rate variations, and how to assess the stress of high-intensity sessions. In this conversation, the hosts delve into the complexities of lactate levels and their relationship to training stress, emphasizing that the increase in stress is not linear. They discuss the importance of recovery, especially for older athletes, and the need to listen to one's body rather than relying solely on objective metrics. The practicality of lactate testing is questioned, with the consensus that while it can provide useful information, it may not be worth the hassle for most athletes. The conversation concludes with encouragement for athletes to focus on their training and recovery, especially in light of personal challenges.
Takeaways
