    Episode 36 - Training More with GGSC Coaches Elspeth and Charlotte

    In the latest episode of the GGSC podcast Elspeth your host is joined by GGSC cycling and triathlon coach Charlotte. They will be discussing ways that we can train in high volume. This means increasing the amount of hours of training a week. We would say high volume would be anything from 12 hours a week plus of training. They will be sharing their years of coaching knowledge on problems encountered with excessive training, how we can benefit from training more, why it's important to train smart and how we need to learn to listen to our bodies.

    On this show Elspeth will be joined by Abi. We know Abi, as she is one of the first women who came to GGSC for our online coaching back in 2020. Abi has always been an endurance junkie, by setting herself big challenges, like bike packing around the UK, everesting up her local hill, completing Ironman distance triathlons and the biggest yet North Cape 4000, a self supported event from Italy to the North Cape, where she rode self supported for over 4000km. This all started a few years ago when she thought she would give RIDE London a go. Abi shares with us what motivated her, why she loves time on the bike and how she practically takes on such events.
