      8 hour week for a normal person working 35-40 hours a week is a big ask having a family etc.. Not everyone gets to wake up make YT vids and ride their bike… lol. body can do ALOT but its a push to get 8 hours of riding in for the average person.

      excellent format and topics. good to mix things up a bit. i wish someone calls you on their podcast for a long format interview – even if that person is not acquainted with road cycling.

      Lovely boy looks like a climber, I know im getting fit when i smash training and the fatigue starts to become less and less. Thats when I lift the level and training.
      The problem for many non pro athletes is they dont get into that zone, ever. Often because they too conservative with training so they never get fit enough to train.
      To get into flow state you have to crash through fatigue without dropping the training. The key is learning to recover on a 24 hour cycle, sleep more and hydrate more without dropping the training level. When i saw how much pros are doing when they in their purple training patch i realised no ways amateurs are overtraining they UNDER RECOVERING. Recovery is sped up with cold showers after training an extra hour of sleep, eating enough NOT TOO much and hydrating is so important. Even some pros are not getting fit enough to train. Drink fruit juices and smoothies water make sure you recover before your next session so you can push it again. Also know when to take the foot a bit off the accelerator but never completely

      Curious if you have any idea or know of any endurance athlete or cyclists that is doing a low-carb diet. I know that sounds counterproductive but I've read those people do exist.

      What’s a good training regime to do a 100 mile ride? I work construction 50 hours a week, so finding time to go ride can be a challenge. I’ve rode 50 miles, but want to do a century ride..

      Glad to hear you mention stretching. I've been doing it for years and convinced that it is beneficial. Please consider a video with your and Garret's recommendations. Thanks

      I'm 63 and have a pretty flexible schedule. I routinely ride about 150 miles per week with some 200 mile weeks, but I can't imagine how I'd fit in, or recover from, a 400 mile week. Chris, are you suggesting people my age should be able to handle that volume, or are you just talking to the 20 year olds?
