Indoor Training, Base, Fueling run-bike, How to Fall

Posted on by Peter
Today we discuss your questions about a typical winter/indoor cycling week of training, the concept of ‘non-linear periodization’ or doing year round intensity and then look at how to fuel a big run one day, followed by a huge gravel race the next day. Finally, we discuss ways to fall better (and avoid it in the first place!)

FOLLOW UP FROM LAST Q&A —- A week on the trainer look like?  integrating all the tools

PC asks:  is it possible to stay fit all the time? Or should we do intensity year-round?

Book “Run FASTER” by Fitgerald and Hudson https://www.amazon.ca/Run-Faster-5K-Marathon-Coach/dp/0767928229
Joe Friel also wrote ‘fast afer 50’ which also includes more intensity similar to the non-linear in “run Faster”  and it is also a really good book/concept

Nutrition for 50k run one day and a 100 miler the next day!?!?

Comment: I enjoy your podcasts, listening to them as I drive back and forth to work. For a future Q&A episode, here’s a question for which I would love to hear your response:
What do you recommend for nutrition upon the completion of a 50 km run, knowing that it will be followed by a 100-mile gravel bike ride the following day?

1) Mary Cain op-ed  in the New York Times. The discussion around racing weight

2) Smart Trainers vs. Old Trainers vs. Rollers and what to do inside

I wonder if you guys could discuss the pros and cons of smart trainers, regular wind trainers, and rollers for indoor cycling. For the past 4 years, I have used a plain old Kinetic stationary trainer– this experience is slightly improved by the fact that I can download workouts from Training Peaks created by my coach to my Garmin. I have been encouraged to join Zwift, but I am resisting for some reason. I enjoy pedaling along, following a workout, and simply listening to music or podcasts…but maybe I am missing out on all these technological advances that have been made of late? I’m curious to know what you guys think.

Best tip for passing time on the trainer?

Ideal time to train during the day? (Personal preference)

Transitioning from solo racing to racing with a team where there’s a team training plan?

Keeping nutrition on track as a new-to-college athlete?

Fueling early AM workouts—food seems harder to digest early AM

Training and nutrition—should it change for menopause + beyond?

TOPICS AND LINKS FROM TODAYS SHOW:

1) Injured and can’t ride: How do you keep fitness (or at least avoid weight gain)?

2) Frustration indoors and/or with devices and/or with following a plan

 a) Did you change the device, or setting or switch environment? then do the workout and assess later.
 b) How would I do this outside? are you doing something odd/extra that is making this weird/more difficult than it needs to be or add more rules? (what are you saying “SHOULD” about … you “SHOULD” do more watts … why??? )
 b) If I had no data and did this workout would  I feel the same way? or would I just work hard and get it done?
 c) 80% is a passing grade. Nothing is perfect.
 d) 90% of life is showing up. Many people won’t even start … so start!

2 Power meters  – moving from outdoors to indoors

  • can use both (one on device, one on screen) but choose which you will record and guide training by.
  •  Remember  cooling and fueling

3) NUMB hand (Pinky) after long mtb ride/races

 

4) Getting started with strength training—do I actually need someone to help with form?
