WHAT DOES DAN LORANG SAY?

DAN LORANG

Head of Performance, Lidl-Trek; elite endurance coach

Coaching

Dan Lorang is a Luxembourgish endurance coach and Lidl-Trek's Head of Performance. The team's official announcement says his remit covers coaching, nutrition, health, recovery, athletics, and data and AI. Before joining Lidl-Trek on 1 August 2026, he led performance at Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe. He has also coached leading long-course triathletes. His two Roadman interviews are most useful for what they actually establish: sustainable load, season planning, heart-rate context, recovery and individualisation—not a universal weekly formula.

EXPLORE BY TOPIC

Where Lorang lands on the questions people ask most.

On Periodisation

Structuring the season into base, build, peak and recovery so fitness arrives on the right day.

On Threshold Training

Training at and around lactate threshold — the dose that drives the biggest gains in trained riders.

On The Triathlon Bike Leg

Pacing the bike for the run that follows — where most age-groupers get it wrong.

On Reverse Periodisation

Flipping the traditional model — building intensity early and volume later, and when it actually fits.

On Zone 2

Low-intensity aerobic riding — the foundation everything else is built on.

On VO2 Max

VO2 max intervals — the high end of the engine and how to build it without burning out.
