92: 💪🏻 Staying Consistent with Training, Using Endurance Riding for Strength Gains, and How to Know If You’re Over-Training

Strength Training For Cyclists - Dialed Health

In this episode of Dialed Health, I'm joined by Amber, the Project Manger of DialedHealth.com. She actually interviews me on my personal training and goals, and what's been more beneficial for me. I share all the details on how I stay consistent with training while also balancing it with my family and personal life, as well as what has made the biggest impact on my strength gains this year (and also what hasn't helped). Plus, Amber asks me how i know when I'm over-training (something I know many of you do!) and what are some common red flags for when you're on your way to burnout. Most importantly, at the end of this episode, I give you all the details on my vasectomy and how I'm navigating through it!
