How to find the minimum effective dose with heat training?
Should openers vary depending on discipline or the athlete?
I’m hoping there’s some good stuff on the body fatigue from long rides. As it’s spring now and I up the length of my rides I’m feeling the soreness. I’m sure much of it is just acclimation to the distances, but I’m sure there’s much I’m missing.
Sorry for the confusion, y’all! We won’t be covering respiratory training tomorrow. The YT thumbnail may be cached here on the forum so it may not update for ya on here, but if you click through, it’ll be accurate.
Oh wow, love the details You guys sure aren’t afraid to go deep in the weeds, no wonder the podcast is one of the highlights of the week for me:clap: I wonder if this is more controversial than base layers for snails
I caught the live one late, but there is some apparent format change related to this.
Might relate to the forum topics complaining about show length in the past?
Edit to update after listening to the format section:
Jon stated this was an experiment. This is done even in light of the fact that a recent survey they offered showed that the 2 hour-ish length was well liked.
He then added that they want feedback on this shorter version, but many hosts tend to like a shorter option (Nate liked 2hr if I heard right, but there was some over-talking so I am fuzzy on this).
Per the comments about the podcast length experiment, please see the dedicated topic, vote in the poll and add your comments here:
Thanks for this. I had no idea this happened. I haven’t listened much in the past few years due to the new length. It used to be my favorite podcast. This will make me give it a try.
Some of us are more “folliclely endowed” than others. I’ve always felt that when I do a full-body manscaping in the summer, I feel cooler on those big days in the saddle. I, for one, was excited to see that this topic was addressed— you could say that the hair on my back stood on end.
