Last week we had the opportunity to join The Clif Bar Team for their annual training camp in Napa Valley, California. In between training sessions we sat down with some of the best criterium racers in the country to find out how to become a better crit racer.

We covered how to train for criterium racing, how a course profile will affect the race, how to pace yourself, how to utilize and leverage team tactics and more. Listen to the full episode below and check out our criterium training plan to get faster.
