Today, Molly and Peter tackle two insightful listener questions on the Consummate Athlete podcast. First, they delve into the topic of failed workouts and how we might misinterpret success in endurance sports training. Then, they look at a second question about which metrics are worth monitoring (or ignoring) during a race to optimize performance. This episode will help you gain a deeper understanding of endurance training and racing strategies.

Join Peter and Molly as they discuss the common question of how much you need to train to be ready for an endurance race. Do you need to complete the race distance or duration, or both! Or can you get by with shorter rides, that might allow more frequency or quality training?

This week, we discuss a common question Peter often receives, that might surprise you! Although cycling typically takes place outdoors, many athletes now start to train for cycling while indoors on smart trainers. Some even begin cycling indoors before considering taking their cycling outdoors for training and competition. This shift outdoors can lead to challenges when transitioning into a more variable enviroment. Join us as we explore how cyclists maintain structured training  for cycling outdoors while still enjoying the simple pleasure of riding a bike!

In this episode, we discuss a listener's question about training for two different types of bike races, like Gravel and Mountain bike, within a single season. We explore how your pst race experience, goals for each event and current training status can influence your approach to this challenge. Additionally, we draw from our personal experiences balancing multiple disciplines simultaneously.
