Do you know your VO2 max from your FTP?
With summer turning to autumn, and winter on the horizon in the northern hemisphere, the attention of many riders will turn to indoor training and, looking further ahead, plans for 2024.
With that in mind, over the next five weeks, we’re partnering with Wahoo Fitness to bring you a new series on the BikeRadar Podcast, covering the training essentials to help you hit your riding goals.
For the first episode, BikeRadar’s editor-in-chief, George Scott, is joined by Wahoo’s lead sports scientist, Mac Cassin, for a training jargon buster.
George quizzes Mac on 10 key training terms, covering structured training, power, heart rate, energy systems, VO2 max, periodisation and more.
What else have we got in store? Expect episodes going deeper on FTP and training zones, as well as the latest thinking on base training vs internals, and common training mistakes to avoid.
