Former XTERRA world champion and coach Melanie McQuaid talks with us about the pros and cons of top athletes becoming coaches.
Our hosts talk about whether it is better to be balanced or pursue something fully, good workouts to start the season out, and how much communication is too much.
We discuss the ins and outs of sprint technique and training, and are joined by two-time national criterium champion Eric Young for some pro tips.
No one wants to “fire” an athlete. But there are times when the coach-athlete relationship is clearly not working. Coaches need to reflect on these difficult situations and athletes so they can identify problems before things get personal.
We dork out on bike fitting and get honest about mistakes.
We discuss how to find solutions when you’re dealing with injuries without an obvious cause, then we review new research that demonstrates that changes in progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone do not negatively impact performance in males or females.
In this final video of his “short stack”, three-part series, Dr. Stephen Seiler discusses some research studies that compare short interval and long interval training and how they impact endurance capacity in already well-trained athletes.
