(01:05:45) Why Most Cyclists Train Too Hard (01:10:24) Why Pros Don’t Suffer Every Ride Pro gravel racer Alexey Vermeulen joins Coach Jonathan Lee to explain why power alone does not win races, including how he handles negative tactics, identifies the right moment to attack, and adapts when a race stops following the plan. Alexey breaks down his SBT GRVL equipment gamble, from racing slick tires to 35 mm internal-width aero wheels, and shares what the next generation of gravel pros still needs to learn beyond producing huge watts. Jonathan and Alexey also answer a listener question on choosing durable tires for Big Sugar, compare the classic Coggan power chart with real data from more than 170,000 cyclists, and analyze where nearly 35,000 athletes actually improve during base, build, and specialty training. Plus: why most cyclists ride too hard, how pros use restraint to complete training blocks, and why easier workouts can produce faster, more reliable race-day performance. // RESOURCES MENTIONED - Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠ [https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster]https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ [https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster%E2%81%A0] - Follow Alexey on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexeyvermeulen [https://www.instagram.com/alexeyvermeulen]  - Donate to Jonathan’s Leadville Foundation Fundraiser: https://give.ltfoundation.org/leejonathan [https://give.ltfoundation.org/leejonathan]  - Follow Jonathan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leejonathan_ [https://www.instagram.com/leejonathan_]  - Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad [https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad]  // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS! https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ [https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster] TrainerRoad is the #1 cycling training app. No other cycling app is more effective.

They cover TrainerRoad AI updates, including outside workout improvements, more precise post-workout feedback, dynamic workout adjustments, and why athletes should answer surveys honestly instead of trying to “game” the system. Coach Jonathan also recaps his Lost and Found Gravel race, including heat training, pacing, equipment lessons, possible disqualification from outside feeds, and how he’s refining his Leadville 100 MTB strategy with smarter hydration, carbohydrate intake, caffeine, altitude prep, and bike setup. The episode wraps with a look at whether swimming can improve cycling performance, how CO2 tolerance and extra aerobic work might help with hard group ride efforts, plus a quick World Cup discussion. // RESOURCES MENTIONED - Donate to Coach Jonathan’s Leadville Fundraiser: https://give.ltfoundation.org/leejonathan [https://give.ltfoundation.org/leejonathan]  - Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠ [https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster]https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ [https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster%E2%81%A0] - Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad [https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad]  - Join the TrainerRoad Zwift Club 🚴 ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub⁠ [https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub]  // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS! https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ [https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster] TrainerRoad is the #1 cycling training app. No other cycling app is more effective.

Coach Jonathan Lee breaks down training data from over 85,000 TrainerRoad athletes across 150+ countries to compare every continent by FTP, watts per kilogram, 20-minute power, sprint power, body weight, weekly TSS, indoor vs. outdoor  riding, and racing habits. Europe posts the biggest engines at 2.79 W/kg, Oceania sprints hardest, Asia trains the most, Africa races the most, and South America is the most structured. Then, two listener questions get full data analyses: are you really a sprinter or a diesel (spoiler: true polarized phenotypes are rarer than you think), and does swapping bike hours for strength training make you faster? Finally, Jonathan shares his Lost and Found gravel race pacing and fueling plan as he builds toward the Leadville 100. // RESOURCES MENTIONED - Free Cycling Nutrition Calculator:  https://trainerroad.cc/cyclingnutritioncalculator [https://trainerroad.cc/cyclingnutritioncalculator]  - Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠ [https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster]https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ [https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster%E2%81%A0] - Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad [https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad]  - Join the TrainerRoad Zwift Club 🚴 ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub⁠ [https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub]  // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS! https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ [https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster] TrainerRoad is the #1 cycling training app. No other cycling app is more effective.
