new feature to adjust time for workouts based on day in plan builder is going to make things soooo much better, @Nate_Pearson is this a “soonish” kind of release or “needs a bit more time” type of thing. not trying to make this something that creates timelines, but just wondering as we move into offseason and setting up training plans for the winter.
Just listened to the episode today - loved it. (But: when will @ambermalika be back?)
The discussion about the World Championship was fun - but I kept trying to tell you that Pedersen won’t be there. I am rooting for some surprise winner. Question: I don’t think they are allowed to use radios at the WC - or is that for Olympics only?
Follow up to Jason’s question at the end, from a different Jason.
I’ve been thinking about specialty phase for awhile. Specifically as it applies to Midwest rolling gravel events (#iykyk)
Choose A) rolling road race, as the description seems most appropriate.
B) Crit, as endless 6-8+% 100 ft at a time seem more like the repeated corner exit efforts of a Crit.
And now C) long steady effort as @Jonathan mentioned. Try to bracket myself, not go too hard but keep on the pedals during the descents.
Repeated above threshold efforts are generally my weakness so I die a 1000 deaths at these style courses, even trying to be reserved a bit on the climbs.
Curious what others think? I’m looking forward to queuing up plan builder again this winter. Thanks.
