The Training Center Podcast is back this week, again with two episodes for you to enjoy.

In the first episode of the week, we give training advice to the time-crunched cyclist. How should you get maximum performance if you only have 6 or 7 hours per week to train? We break down balancing variety vs consistency, talk about the importance of getting in long rides when you can, and stress that you shouldn’t just be riding as hard as you can every time out the door. Listen to Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

The second episode of the week is Smart Weight Loss. Weight loss is a goal for many cyclists, either for health or performance reasons. But to lose weight properly we need to understand some of the science behind weight loss, as well as understand how to lose weight while still preserving training quality. This is a great episode if you’re struggling to lose weight, or successfully losing weight but feel like you struggle to get in hard training. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

And remember, you can find the Training Center Podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts:
