It didn’t really dawn on me how much listening to the Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast was impacting me until one day I realized I was doing something I had never done before, but had recently heard about on the podcast.
Less than a week after listening to episode 289 I found myself licking my heart rate monitor strap.
Which got me wondering, I wonder what other ACCP listeners are doing today that they never did before listening to the podcast.
I didn’t consume calories like I do today while training. Or own an indoor trainer. Or have a power meter. Or take Pomegranate Extract. Or time my meals. I rode outside, hammered when I could, and toodled when I needed to.
I eat way more carbs on the bike!
I have recovery shake after almost every ride or workout

Pay way more attention to recovery!
Pay more attention to stress and how it impacts training fatigue
fuel indoor workouts, and do the easy stuff, like boring low intensity recovery rides… i still find them incredibly boring, but at least i do them now…
Very small detail in the grand scheme of training and nutrition, but I always leave buffer time between caffeine consumption and food intake. I actually sent in this question a while back and @chad found the topic interesting enough for a deepdive
You should listen (link below) and consider/rethink the timing of your coffee/caffeine intake
