Manage episode 297372580 series 38697
Host topics covered in this episode:
1:20 A few years ago it was claimed that FTP was dead. We discuss whether the newer alternatives have any sound scientific rationale behind them and why FTP, despite its flaws, is still being used.
13:00 The amateur to professional cyclist roadmap
15:00 Prerequisites to performance, i.e. what you have to be born with.
24:00 Development through junior training and racing. Is it essential to become a professional? What should be the focus during this phase?
39:10 Training with a program. We discuss the benefit of having a coach or mentor and getting some help before arriving at the start line of your first race.
48:40 Amateur racing. What are the different levels? We discuss the importance of learning to win, and learning skills and racecraft.
1:03:25 The big jump from amateur to international level. What are the different paths and different ways to make this leap?
1:07:50 Lifestyle changes involved in moving towards the professional ranks. We discuss how pivotal these are in many careers and why the lifestyle isn’t as glamorous as it may seem.
1:13:10 Differences between the top level and the second and third tiers. What does the published research say?
1:20:05 Factors that come into training and race preparation at the professional level that many may not realise.
