If you play the bingo/drinking game, it’s gonna be an easy/rough one for ya! :joy: Special guest Keegan Swenson joins us to check in on his 370 for 30 challenge with Nate and discuss what’s new with his program for 2021. We’ll also talk about what type of training best raises FTP for him and dig i…

I would love it if they at some point discuss, not the ideal training breakfast, but the ideal race breakfast on a day where the race starts early in the morning. High Cascades 100 starts at 5:30 AM, Dirty Kanza starts at 6:40 AM, i’m sure there are others. What to do if you really need to fuel but…

Well that would be quite childish. But you’re entitled to that approach. P. S., I think you missed a couple of threads where you could gloat about your positive experience with Z2, may want to double check you got them all. P.P.S. I also think nate was quite clear that some pros do do POL, and tha…

This is what I came for! But KS also said his rides are 4 hours long. So my next question is, what if I only have 1.5 hours? What is the best utilization of that time? Can a 40 year old office worker with two kids (me) really hope to replicate a professional bike rider’s training plan? I’m no vegan…
