This is a goldmine for anyone obsessed with the intersection of applied biochemistry and cycling data analysis. The hosts and his guests break down complex topics—like energy systems, nutrient timing, and power metrics—into practical insights you can actually use on the bike. Whether it’s dissecting VO2 max or crunching numbers from your latest ride, this show blends nerdy precision with real-world application. Perfect for data-driven cyclists who want to optimize performance without the fluff.

I’ve been listening to EC since 2019, stumbling across it honestly looking for a good podcast about the sport of cycling. I’d only been riding for a year or so and didn’t know anything about racing, training, nutrition, or recovery. I’ve come a long way with them, at first self coaching from the lessons I learned on the pod, to eventually becoming a client. Kolie and his different co-hosts, though usually Kyle, speak very articulately about the biological adaptions that happen while training which is what first drew me into the show. Krebs Cycles, size principles, V02 max, FTP all get their dues, but he has also been doing a good job bringing in other voices with diverse backgrounds that all relate to the sport of bike racing. Some of my favorites are about strength training and nutrition. I’ve never written a review about any podcast but I love this one so much I thought it was important to continue supporting it. Five Stars!

Kolie and Kyle make the science of endurance training super accessible. As a scientist is sport and performance, this is my go to for keeping up on material that is related to my work without having to wade through publications.

If coaches can talk about cellar redox, AMPC, NADH and wavelength absortion and emission (photoelectirc effect) they leave out the quandum part on purpose and talk about real training gems and most of the time in a modest real way. These guys really know and know how the rubber meets the road. Hands down one of the best podcast. BTW i need to sent them some money for their massive amout of time and research they doing and putting this program together. Thanks
