Join us live for Episode 199 of the Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast! We’ll be discussing pacelines, normalized vs. average power, balancing cravings with race weight and taking your live questions from Facebook Live and YouTube tomorrow, Wednesday March 19 at 8:00am Pacific.
Ummm, what year? Today is Wednesday March 20, 2019. Be cool if TR could help us time travel!
A question for @Jonathan about last weekend’s race: How much (if anything) did you eat during it? Why?
As an Xterra (off-road triathlon) Athlete, my races run 2-3 hours. And I have found that 2 gels seem to be needed on the ride portion and have wondered if I need something on the run. Though it seems like I should have almost enough in the body for most of the race if I am properly carb-loaded.
I’m watching on the Facebook feed, and all of the microphones are echoing, to almost an un-listenable quality. Many many other people on the feed are saying the same thing.
We are working on improving our video/audio setup at the moment and are running into some technical difficulties. We can test, test, test but as soon as we go live; there is always something that goes wrong.
We will get this all edited up as best we can and uploaded so that everybody can listen to it without the echoing ASAP.
Once we get everything dialed, it is going to be amazing!
Part of me really expects the big debut as a separate introduction (like they did with the Calendar). If it is as big as we have seen from some recent stuff, and the related hints over the last few months, I expect they will be using a full 1+ hour show just to cover all the new stuff.
I think it will be a standalone show, but it could also roll into the official episode 200 that we have all been speculating about and suggesting ideas.
I’m just being impatient! I haven’t ridden outside since my last CX race in Dec so the idea of bringing my TR stuff outside has me really excited. Also I’ve been hemming and hawing about getting a garmin or wahoo to replace my pioneer head unit, so I kind of want to know if the plans are dependent on a specific brand (my gut would say garmin because of the iq app system, I don’t think wahoo has any type of external links besides ridewithgps at the moment)
Its easy to upload an interval workout to a Garmin (or Wahoo) - the trick I imagine is digital rights management such that freeing up the workouts to be downloadable to a device does not result in them being pirated and putting the company out of business.
