Training Plan of a Professional Off-Road Cyclist with Chad Barentsen, Mentality, and The Stoke of Riding and Racing Bikes

Chad Berentsen and I talk about TRAINING in today's episode. This conversation is super important, because no matter what level you are at, any kind of training is good training. Whether you have a race on the schedule, bike packing adventure, or you just want to boost your overall fitness, this is the episode for you. We dive into heart rate zones, power meters, FTP (functional threshold power) and nutrition on the bike. As shown below, we are not coaches, but professional athletes who implement a strict training plan, so any type of riding is good.  I wish I heard this conversation 3 years ago, because I had no idea how to train, or take care of my fitness. Just like Chad, I would go balls to the wall everyday, then hit a wall for three days and feel like shit and repeat the cycle. It has taken a few years to understand how my body likes to train, and with the help from Stokehaus coaching, I have a plan based on my racing goals. No matter where you are right now fitness wise, I hope you can take away some good information from Chad and I. IMPORTANT: We are not coaches, or licensed to give any advice on any training techniques. We are professional athletes who train on a daily basis, and give advice on the mistakes we have made in the past. https://www.moxilife.com/?afmc=STOKEPODCAST&utm_campaign=STOKEPODCAST&utm_source=leaddyno&utm_medium=affiliate Get 15% off at checkout using code: STOKEPODCAST If you, or anyone you know wants to sponsor Stoke Podcast message: https://www.instagram.com/stokepodcast/
