| 4/16/26 | This Is Why Your Power Isn’t Improving (It's Not Your Training) | Most cyclists think getting faster means riding more. But what if the real limiter isn’t your training — it's your strength, nutrition, and durability? In this episode, we sit down with a sports nutrition expert, Dr. Cindy Cassell to break down why power doesn’t equal strength, how metabolism and fueling impact performance, and why cyclists over 35 need to rethink how they train. If you’ve been training harder but not getting faster, struggling with recovery, or feeling like your powe... | 56m 56s | ||||||

In this episode, we sit down with Eric Peters, founder of ERG Cycling, to break down what a professional bike fitting actually does — and how details like cleat position, saddle height, crank length, and hip angles can either unlock free speed…or quietly steal watts from you. If you’ve ever wondered: - Is a bike fit worth it? - Are shorter cranks really better? - How important is cle... | 1h 14m 48s | ||||||
