Fantastic podcast and well done Doug :+1:

This podcast couldn’t have come at a better time. I subscribed to TR last week to get back to previous fitness levels, if not fitter.

I have no plans to race, but my goals in cycling for 2021 and beyond is to get back into road cycling (after a few years out) with a number of long endurance ride events I want to tick off the bucket list.

I wasn’t sure TR was the program to suit my goals, but I took the plunge and happy to hear Doug’s story to realise I haven’t made a wrong choice subbing to TR!

Man, this podcast came at the perfect time for me. I can relate so well to this. The guilt of missing a workout, the sour mood, the late night workouts, juggling family and work. All of it. I feel seen. Lol.

Great podcast and story. You have a lot of stuff going on, Doug! Definitely demonstrates that we can all carve out time and still improve using low volume plans!
