“Coaches are so much more than just a program. It’s someone that listens, someone that has been there (oftentimes) and they can drawn on both academia and peer reviewed studies, and also from our experience and what we know works, like evidence -based practices…” — Adam Mills Hey listeners, please meet my friend and cycling coach, Adam Mills! We’ve known each other for over 20 years, from the early 2000s, when he first began his cycling coaching career as an intern at Carmichael Training Systems and I first began my cycling-racing career. Through the years we’ve stayed in touch as fellow bike racers, fellow midwest-raised folks, our mutual respect for one another as we’ve both evolved and grown has always been present, and now I’m once again fortunate to call him my coach. After spinning my wheels the last few years through injuries and self-coaching, I am back under his “supervision” and I benefit tremendously from his oversight, his experience and his willingness to teach me what I don’t know, but need to know ;) Tune in to this episode as we talk about what’s on the cutting edge forefront of cycling coaching, performance, fitness, technology and of course, AI! If you have follow-up questions for Adam, please visit his website and reach out to get answers.
