    Episode 12 - Cycling training with no season?

    Hello listeners. Today's episode is the start of a Q&A series with Dave Triska, a GP and fast time triallist who got in touch to ask about re-structuring training when there may be no season ahead. We discuss training and immunity and potential replacements for the season including zwift racing. Here is the races I asked Dave to take part in before we speak again to discuss his physiological strengths and weaknesses. Race 1 - Pure sprint - any of the city crit series e.g. london flat Race 2 - 45sec efforts x3/4 plus sprint - Innsbrucking course. This has a nasty 45 second hill on each lap, where everyone hammers it. Race 3 - 1x 5-6 minute Vo2max effort - either London hilly loop (friday at midday) or 1 lap of the whole lotta lava course. Race 4 - 2x 6 minute VO2 efforts - whole lotta lava 2 lap course. Race 5 - Any Alpe race - e.g. KOM race road to sky on weekends, this should be around 40 mins for you. Good FTP test.
