Top coaches across cycling agree on five major training mistakes that are holding back both amateurs and pros—from chasing huge training volumes to fueling the same every day. Learn what the best in the sport actually do differently, plus honest takes on Canyon's new Arrow Road bike, how to help a crash-prone clubmate, and why ebikes might be perfect for getting fitter on limited time.
"Success is rarely dictated by our best weeks, more often it's dictated by our worst weeks—you can think of success being dictated not by the ceiling but by the floor of your training"
"The goal of training isn't to complete sessions. The goal of training is to get an adaptation from completing the session."
"If you're somebody who is time crunched and you don't have a coach already, get yourself a really credible coach. There's so many things you can get wrong and put yourself into a really bad place."
“Success step Syler said to me it's rarely dedicated or dictated by our best weeks more often it's dictated by our worst weeks so in that sense you can think of success being dictated not by the sealing but by the floor of your training so it's trying to keep zeros off the scoreboard.”
“The goal of training it isn't to complete sessions the goal of training it's to get an adaptation from completing the session so many amateur coaches they put all of their focus on laying out stimulus for their athletes and they put 0% of their focus on understanding the adaptation that they've made to that stimulus and that's what's crucial for Success.”
“Lactate testing is one of the easiest to contaminate data points so if you take a bad data point and then you start to base decisions off bad data you're going to build an entirely contaminated training plan.”
