    What To Do Before Base Training

    In this conversation, Brendan Housler discusses strategies for cyclists to maintain and enhance their fitness during the off-season. He emphasizes the importance of varied training methods, including VO2 max workouts and rest reduction intervals, to prepare for the upcoming race season. Brendan also highlights the significance of enjoying the process of cycling and training, encouraging athletes to reconnect with their passion for the sport as they approach base training. 🚴‍♂️ Try different vo2 and analyze those workouts 🚴‍♂️ Extend your power, TTE….I preach 8-10min but this is still important. Can you ride at FTP for 45min? Bulk of time, can you do 3 x 20m at a high tempo. 4 x 20m? Gravel racers need to pay attention to this. 🚴‍♂️ One thing to note, you’ll hear gravel people train a lot of tempo because that is their race, but if you can already do it, I prefer to have my athletes bring all areas up from vo2max and threshold work 🚴‍♂️ 6 x 6 rest reduction…supra threshold to endurance, so it’s like an OU but ALSO high scoring vo2max for many, and can even bring out 6 to 30min bests…or 1.5H bests. 🚴‍♂️ KOMs 🚴‍♂️ Try different races or routes!

    VO2max Intervals Are NOT Good Race Prep??

    Full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZKozOib5S0In this episode, we dive into the specifics of interval training and its role in race prep. From zone 2 base work to high-intensity VO2 max intervals, I share how different sessions fit into my overall training plan. I talk about my experiences with various VO2 sets—like 6x2s and more complex intervals from my longtime coach, Andy Applegate. You'll hear my thoughts on balancing structured training with race simulation efforts and why real-world experience is just as valuable as hitting perfect numbers in a workout. Whether you're a data-driven athlete or prefer a more intuitive approach, this video has insights for every racer.👋🏽 If you're new to the channel, welcome!
