Episode 53 - The Stage Race Effect. Can training intensity be too low? And when does HR trump power for endurance riding?

Hello everyone! Welcome to the latest episode of The Matchbox Podcast powered by Ignition Coach Co. I’m your host, Adam Saban, and we are back from our little mid-season break, ready to bring you the training content you’ve been patiently waiting for! Today we’re talking about the stage race effect, whether or not you can train at too low of intensity, and when HR should be considered over power for endurance rides.

Today’s show is also brought to your by Flow Formulas. I just got back from racing the Migration Gravel Stage Race in Kenya and thanks to the single-serving race tubes offered by Flow, my race-day nutrition was simple as can be. Each morning I just popped open a few tubes of my favorite flavors, poured them straight into my bottles and hydration pack, filled them up with water and bam!
