Listen "Scribble Outside the Lines: How Imperfect Training Makes Faster Cyclists (#274)"
Episode Synopsis
OVERVIEWFollowing a training plan is better than training haphazardly, but how closely do you need to follow the letter of the plan? In Episode 274 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast", Coach Adam Pulford discusses the benefits and necessity of not following the plan to a T, when that’s ok, when it’s not, and how to adjust daily training sessions based on how you're feeling while still sticking to the vision and progression of a bigger plan.TOPICS COVEREDWhat flexibility means in endurance trainingExamples: hard day planned and don't feel greatExample: easy day planned and feel greatExample: had day planned and feel greatShould you push through a hard workout if you don't feel good?How to modify your workouts on any given dayAutonomy of trainingASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTRESOURCESRigid vs Flexible Training:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23881116/Planned vs Self Select: https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.02061?utm_source=chatgpt.comTime in Zone vs Just HIIT:https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00421-018-3910-3Specific vs General Training Programs:https://sportsci.org/jour/05/amt-m.pdfHOSTAdam Pulford has been a CTS Coach for nearly two decades and holds a B.S. in Exercise Physiology.
