There are ALWAYS opportunities to TEACH 🧠 something - training is not a one-way street!

Vern Gambetta @coachgambetta wants you to understand that you NEED to include your athletes in the decision process, but make sure that is also a TEACHING process.

In the 122nd episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Vern discuss:

🌐 how to IDENTIFY, ADAPT & IMPLEMENT successful TRAINING SYSTEMS;

👩‍🏫 why TEACHING is a core aspect of every COACH - ATHLETE relationship;

📝 periodization, strength training, taper and SO MUCH MORE.

HEAT acclimation ain’t just good for HOT 🔥 weather - it MAKES you FITTER!

Prof. Chris Minson wants you to understand that although heat ACCLIMATION is essential for performance in hot environments, it is also useful for HEAPS of other uses - including just plain old PERFORMANCE!

In the 121st episode of The Training Science Podcast, Chris and Paul discuss:

🥵 an UNUSUAL way to adapt to HEAT;

😎 HEAT as a THERAPY for all sorts of clinical conditions AND sports;

Jens Voet wants you to understand that what is PLANNED will not always MATCH what is EXECUTED⚖️ . While short-term this could be just fine, but perhaps this is not such a good thing in the long run. Work on that COACH-ATHLETE relationship and do some sound monitoring to know when things are going wrong 🌡️.

In the 120th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Jens discuss:

🐣 how and WHY young CYCLISTS can LEVEL UP;

🆕 does the AGE of when you are BORN give you a MASSIVE advantage?

📏 how much do “NEW METRICS” matter in cycling.
