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.
