    SIMPLE Training Before Your Big Event with Owen Cole, Redlands Stage Winner!

    In this conversation, Brendan Housler and Owen Cole discuss various aspects of competitive cycling, focusing on training strategies, race preparation, and the importance of general fitness. Owen shares insights from his recent race experience, emphasizing the need for adaptability in training and racing tactics. The discussion also highlights the significance of endurance training and the balance between intensity and recovery in a cyclist's regimen.Even if you aren’t racing at Owen’s level, we highlighted some simple aspects of his training that you can apply to your own!Here are some of his simple gems:Focus on general fitness rather than overly specific training. Owen emphasizes that "being generally fit is more important than anything" because race situations can be unpredictable.Ride at the bottom of zone 2 for endurance training. Owen advises keeping endurance rides at "the very bottom of zone 2" to avoid excessive fatigue.Incorporate time on your time trial bike before doing intervals on it. Owen suggests doing "an endurance ride or an easy ride on it the day before" intense sessions.Don't fixate on power numbers during races. Owen says "power numbers don't win races" and can mess with you mentally if you're off your normal values.Balance training stress with life stress. Owen tracks exam dates in his training calendar to manage overall stress load.Don't overcomplicate things. As Owen puts it: "There's nothing crazy to it."Manage recovery time well, especially during tapers before big races.Remember that non-training factors are crucial: "There's no point in pushing the training to the limit if you're not going to do these other things" like sleep, stretching, and proper nutrition.Include variety in your workouts and "don't do the same workout too many times."Train all your energy systems to be prepared for any race scenario.Thanks, Owen!
