The topic that riders love to hate: intervals. Cyclists use every excuse in the book to avoid them - too hot, too cold, too windy, too flat, too hilly, wrong bike, wrong road, wrong trail, etc. In reality, it's often a lack of understanding of what intervals are, how they can be used, and how they should be used.
In this episode of The LW Coaching Show, Lynda kicks off a series of episodes discussing intervals for mountain bikers. She sets up some of the basics of intervals, including why you need to do intervals, the heirarchy of the best place to do your intervals, and what's with the myth of training 50% road bike and 50% mountain bike.
We welcome and strongly encourage listener questions, so if you have any questions that you would like to hear on future episodes, please contact Ben at ben@mountainbikeradio.com or Lynda at Lynda@lwcoaching.com.
