120: Training hard with Alex Wild and a Breakdown of My Supplement Routine (Member Questions & Weekly Thoughts with Derek are Back!)

Strength Training For Cyclists - Dialed Health

Guess what?! Our old episode format is BACK and we couldn’t be more stoked! You’re not only getting an interview this week but bonus segments like member questions and weekly thoughts with Derek.

The episode kicks off with Coach Derek bringing us an interview with pro rider, Alex Wild.

Alex recently placed third at the first stop of the Lifetime Grand Prix (Fuego 80k ICSI race),

Derek and Alex chat about the difference in training leading up to this race as opposed to training for the traditional ICO-style races he typically does. In fact, Alex chats about the specific power, workouts, and volume he did behind the scenes. Plus, you get a sneak peek into what his training diet looks like. Hint: The guy tracks everything!

After the interview, Derek dives into supplements he’s taking and gives you a breakdown of his daily lineup. He explains why and when he’s taking them, as well as how much.

Then, Derek dives into our favorite segment of the podcast: member questions! The first question asked is whether or not it's a good idea to see how you're ranking throughout the day during a stage race. The second question digs into what the effects are of skipping your spring training workouts on weeks where you have less time.

Lastly, we finish the episode off with Weekly Thoughts with Derek. Warning: This may or may not have been a pent-up therapy session that you definitely don’t want to miss!
