If there’s a “taking questions from the peanut gallery” for this, I’m genuinely curious to hear your arguments for why the plans are set up the way they are, and why the weekend rides default to more intensity with a long easy ride as an alternative, feels sometimes like it should be the other way around.

They have covered this multiple times in the podcast. People weren’t doing the long easy rides.

I’m excited that the podcast is finally going to be weighing in on the #MOASS - long overdue!

[wasket]

Are @Nate_Pearson and @Jonathan announcing they will be doing LOTOJA this year? Great CE training…(well, maybe not), but it would be amazing to have you two on the start line!

[DocSavage]

My guess is, in the name of science, Coach @chad will be doing Cape Epic fueled only by French Fries and cheap beer. Then when he beats @Nate_Pearson it proves fuel just doesn’t matter, it’s all in the head.

[bobzorz]

Congrats to both you for the new shoes and your friend on the weight loss! That’s great!

Link to next week’s pending episode seems to be up now:

Announcing Adaptive Training: The Right Workout. Every Time. – Ask a Cycling Coach 298

[Scheherazade]

Is that a new image too?

[mcneese.chad]

It is to me, and has me wondering if there is some significance beyond looking “spacey”.

[Scheherazade]

*trying really hard not to speculate *

But I’m not sure I can help myself!

[Kaj_Johnson]

Looks like Jarvis’s AI brain from Avengers. AI training plans…?

[mcneese.chad]

Just Jarvis? Man, I’m gonna have to wait for the Ultron upgrade

[MI-XC]

Machine Learning maybe…

[jpowers]

That’s not spacey, that’s connected nodes.

[anthonylane]

Has anyone invited Dylan?

@jpowers

That’s not spacey, that’s connected nodes.

Well done👏

To all the “we need a forum answer to Dylan” or “invite Dylan to podcast” posters:

The forum answer has been here since October 2018:

Polarized Training Discussion (Fast Talk podcast & Flo Cycling podcast)

Woah, this is a long thread! I skimmed it but here are my thoughts. You can get fit in many different ways. I think one podcast seemed to say you can’t get fast on sweet spot. That’s crazy sauce. I went from 275 to 345 on almost only sweet spot. We’ve got a TON of data that shows that you can get faster with the periodized/Coggan approach…like a lot a lot. Seiler is not prescribing a training system, he’s describing what he’s seen in pro athletes (as far as I can tell). In a 90/10 ti…

I wonder why nobody linked it in the Dylan thread.

And besides the boring Dylan discussion (I wish I had not wasted so much time reading that thread) the more interesting part and link to this thread here could be that what @Nate_Pearson listed as point number 4 there:

@Nate_Pearson

4. Take this with a grain of salt because the analysis is not done : Our data shows that the main difference between 2-3 watt/kg riders and 4-5 watt/kg riders are that the 4-5 watt/kg riders do more 2-hour rides, and those rides are mostly between .80-.85 IF (aka sweet spot work). They don’t do longer rides on average compared to 2-3 watt/kg riders.

@Nate_Pearson

I hope to defend point 4 in the future.

@Nate_Pearson Maybe future is now

@jpowers

That’s not spacey, that’s connected nodes.

A fancy chart showing workout compliance, workout type and resulting outcome (FTP)?

Thanks for linking that, I don’t recall reading that before.

EDIT: lol, I know why… I joined the forum Nov 2018.
