We’ve been getting a lot of questions about reviewing a year of training and what to take from it in preparation for your upcoming season, so we thought a fun way to do that would be to invite a pro on to the podcast and review their year. Thanks to Haley Smith for being willing to join us and transparently review her season for all of us to learn from!

It seems like several athletes on the podcast lately, namely Haley Smith and Hannah Otto, are sponsored by Coros. Coach Jonathan always says to support the brands that support the athletes. I have a Coros Dura head unit and love it. Hannah was part of the reason I chose to buy one, but it seems like there’s no way to get Trainer Road workouts to sync with it like you can with Wahoo, Hammer Head, or Garmin. Is there something in the works? I would love not to have to buy a different bike computer, and I love supporting Coros, but manually inputting a Trainer Road workout anytime I want to do a workout outside is a real stumbling block in my ability to train. Would love to be advised if this is something that could happen soon.
