Interesting but...
Big fan of CTS and Chris C.
Good history look back.
Not sure there was much applicable to my daily training so I’m hoping future episodes reveal more knowledge and insights. Pace of podcast could have just a bit more energy.
Thanks
Hi Adam,
I discovered your pod thru the Koopcast recently. I like the short to the point topics.
Peace,

Time crunched cyclist
I have Chris Carmichael's Time Crunched book and read it in its entirety. Listened to several episodes of this podcast hoping it would offer new details. Did not find the episodes science- or data-based. More of a conversation with mild opinions being offered. In an ecosystem with occasional bright stars like Dylan Jawnson, this podcast in comparison doesn't offer a lot.
