Hey Simon, really enjoyed this final part of the interview with Matt, as you said, it wasn’t all about sets and drills, but more general, covering the whole Bike performance aspects from course profile to mixing up the training so your ready for your event. Once again, the importance of S&C, pacing, drills and consistency. After listening to every single podcast, I’m starting to understand what’s really important when training and how I can achieve my goals at this year’s IMUK in Bolton. My first full-distance event. Keep up the great work and awesome summary’s 😊
