Holiday Training Do's & Don'ts: Why Treading Water Is Moving Ahead During The Holiday Season11/29/2019 Most cyclists have a love-hate relationship with the holiday season...
They love the time away from work which most often provides extra training opportunities. But the holiday's also brings significant stress in the form of holiday parties, frigid weather, and of course, the dreaded over-indulgence of holiday meals. In a sport where weight matters as much as it does for cycling, holiday meals built around rich foods and decadent deserts can be immensely stressful. And this reality can be even more challenging to navigate when you are the only athlete at a family gathering full of people that don't understand the culture of cycling or the dedication it takes to be successful... That's why we put together a podcast of Holiday Do's & Don'ts for Endurance Athletes. We want you to both enjoy the holiday's but not also maintain valuable momentum you have worked to build in your training!

The advent of direct-drive indoor trainers has changed the "winter" training game for cyclists.
These pieces of equipment when coupled with technology components like ZWIFT and Rouvy are making it more and more attractive to ride indoors even when the weather outside is good... But with the recent Daylight Savings Time (DST) time-change, and the reduced daylight that came with it, not to mention the cold and wet weather on the horizon means training indoors is a necessity for most Athletes. In this weeks podcast we share some of our best "tips and tricks" for indoor training as well as practical feedback on topics like 'indoor vs. outdoor FTP values', ZWIFT Racing as Intervals By Osmosis, and Setting Up Your Personal Pain-Cave. It's a great episode, one you don't want to miss!

Many cyclists have a love/hate relationship with strength work...
They love the strength built in the gym, but often struggle converting it to "on the bike" power and loathe the extra mass that comes with a traditional strength training program. For road racers, endurance mountain bike competitors, and gravel junkies, that extra bulk built in the weight room is so eschewed that skipping the gym altogether might make the most sense. After all, taking away 1-3 riding days a week in favor of strength training doesn't add up when your goals are endurance events that are 3hrs, or more, in duration. But there is a solution, as emerging research supports, a way to build strength without bulk... And even better it works for Athletes working on a "time crunched" schedule! In this weeks podcast we explore what we at BWC HQ have come to call, the "Lift Heavy Stuff" protocol with Shawn Wayland of Simple Fitness by Shawn. Shawn is a former professional cyclist and is completing his studies to earn a Masters Degree in Strength & Conditioning. There are few people with the strength training certifications he possesses that also knows the demands of being a top-level competitive cyclist. It's a great episode, one you don't want to miss!
