OVERVIEWPower, heart rate, or RPE (rate of perceived exertion or how you feel)? Which data point is best for gauging intensity during training or a race, and which is best for monitoring training progress? Coach Adam Pulford tackles these frequently asked questions in Episode 249 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast". Although ALL THREE metrics have their place, Coach Adam reveals the hierarchy for what matters most and what metrics are used for context. TOPICS COVEREDPower vs Heart Rate vs RPE HierarchyHow to keep HR from drifting up during intervalsWhy HR might drop during intervalsWhy prioritize Power first, then RPE, and HR lastTraining at the top vs bottom of power zonesAll about Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE)Why three data points are better than oneASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTLINKS/RESOURCESEston, R., & Connolly, D.

OVERVIEWWheels and Tires and Tire Pressure. These are the subjects of endless debates among road, gravel, and mountain bike racers. Wheel and tire technologies continue to change. Internal rim widths allow for wider tires, as do modern frames. In Episode 247 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast", Coach Adam Pulford and Velosmith's Tony Bustamante discuss how cyclists can narrow in on the wheel + tire + pressure combination that works best in specific situation, like SBT GRVL vs. Big Sugar. TOPICS COVEREDWhy are tires so important to cycling performance?Why you should be testing multiple tire choicesSourcing course-specific info on tire selectionHow tire pressure affects wheel system performanceTinkering with tire pressure to find your preferred setupSweet spots for rire size and handling characteristicsASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTLINKS/RESOURCESVelosmith Bicycle Studio- SRAM/ZIPP tire pressure guide - Schwalbe tire width guide - WTB Tire/Rim fit chartGUESTTony Bustamante of Velosmith Bicycle Studio.

Send us a textIn this episode we talk with Dr. Austin Hogwood about:Nitrate/Nitric Oxide - aka beetroot juice - supplementationWhat his research found about sex difference in supplementation, and in pre- and postmenopausal womenBonus info about how sitting affects your heart healthDr. Austin Hogwood is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Virginia's Robert M. Berne Cardiovascular Research Center, where he focuses on cardiovascular exercise physiology. He earned his Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology from the University of Virginia. Dr. Hogwood's PhD research explored the effects of inorganic nitrate supplementation, both alone and in combination with exercise, on exercise performance and vascular health. He has investigated how these factors influence exercise across sex, across the menstrual cycle, and alongside exercise training. He has also studied how vascular function may be altered by inorganic nitrate supplementation with exercise in postmenopausal women. When not in the lab, Austin enjoys lifting weights and playing soccer, and spending time with his wife and his dog.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis and treatment.Connect w/ Dr. Hogwood: Google Scholar: scholar.google.com/citations?user=6XpYcroAAAAJ&hl=enWeb: postdoc.virginia.edu/postdoc-directory/austin-hogwood X: x.com/Hogwood_ACMentioned:Beet It: amzn.to/42HcsvgDr. Hogwood's nitrate studies:https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00221.2023https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s40798-023-00632-1.pdfhttps://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00559.2023Other researchers:Dr. Ryan Garten: scholar.google.com/citations?user=1qB9nDsAAAAJ&hl=enJason Allen: scholar.google.com/citations?user=Zrq9guUAAAAJ&hl=enDr. Art Weltman: scholar.google.com/citations?user=oSl17FoAAAAJ&hl=enDr. Kerrie Moreau: scholar.google.com/citMORE NR New customers save 10% off all products on our website with the code NEWPOD10 If you would like to work with our practitioners, click here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/work-with-us/ Save 20% on all supplements at our trusted online source: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/kchannell Join Nutritional Revolution's The Feed Club to get $20 off right away with an additional $20 Feed credit drop every 90 days.: https://thefeed.com/teams/nutritional-revolution If you're interested in sponsoring Nutritional Revolution Podcast, shoot us an email at nutritionalrev@gmail.com.

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Steven Villagomez, a clinically trained exercise physiologist and one of the most grounded, data-driven health professionals I know. We unpack the real foundations of health—sleep, nervous system regulation, and metabolic recovery—and why none of your efforts in diet, fitness, or supplementation will work without getting these right first. Steven breaks down how simple tools like mouth taping, air quality, and HRV-based coaching can shift everything from glucose regulation to mental clarity.We also dive deep into the current conversation around testosterone, the FDA's quiet reversal on long-standing TRT fears, and how most men are overlooking the root cause: lifestyle stress. Steven explains how regulating SHBG, improving recovery scores, and leveraging hormetic stressors like cold exposure and breathwork can dramatically increase natural testosterone levels—no prescriptions needed. This is a masterclass on what real health optimization looks like when you combine evidence-based practice with lived experience.Most importantly, we explore the mission behind the Make America Healthy Again movement and why it's time to reclaim our agency from a system driven by pharmaceutical profits. Steven and I talk about the urgent need for preventive care, functional diagnostics, and coaching that connects the dots—because health doesn't come from symptom management; it comes from understanding your body, asking better questions, and showing up with intention.

OVERVIEWWhen it comes to the equipment choices and mistakes athletes make before big events, Tony Bustamante has seen it all. The founder of Velosmith Bicycle Studio, which specializes in customized builds for discerning cyclists, and a second-generation bike shop owner, Tony has been that guy you implored to fix your brakes last minute or install that super-important part the afternoon before your flight. Not only does he not recommend you do that, he has other potentially race-saving, trip-saving, and money-saving advice for cyclists as we head into the height of summer event season.TOPICS COVEREDThe 3 Categories of Concern for CyclistsRider: Apparel and Contact PointsBike: Frame/Fork, wheels/tires, drivetrain, controlsVariables: Bags, aero bars, on-bike tools, lights, etc.How to choose a mechanic you can trustTimeline for event-specific equipment choices/changesTimeline for having your bike worked on before an eventASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTLINKS/RESOURCESVelosmith Bicycle StudioGUESTTony Bustamante of Velosmith Bicycle Studio.

OVERVIEWInterval training works, but there are ways to get stronger, ride faster, and win races without interval training. There are even aspects of performance that are better suited to no-interval training blocks. In some cases, the structured intensity with planned recovery breaks hinders an athlete's flexibility to use power and fitness spontaneously. Coach Adam Pulford breaks away from the dogma of interval training to show you how to improve your fitness and performance with a period of reduced structure. TOPICS COVEREDThe 5 reasons we do intervals in training3 Ways to train without intervalsSample workout 1: Hard Climbing DaySample workout 2: Kilojoules per hourSample workout 3: Normalized Power Game3 Ways to use Group Rides for productive trainingMonitoring your fitness when you're not doing intervalsSubjective feedback: "real feel" vs. "should feel"ASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTLINKS/RESOURCESThe Evolution of EnduranceHOSTAdam Pulford has been a CTS Coach for nearly two decades and holds a B.S. in Exercise Physiology.

Raymond Verheijen (@raymondverheije) is a world renowned fitness coach and has been involved as an assistant in 4 World Cups and 4 EURO's working under Legendary Dutch coach Gus Hiddink, as well as working with several European top clubs like FC Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester City. As a youth player Verheijen was part of the famous Dutch Youth Academy structure. Unfortunately, his dream of a professional career ended as a chronic injury forced him to retire at the young age of 18. This disadvantage became an advantage as Verheijen started his coaching career at the age of 19. He studied Exercise Physiology and Sport Psychology at the Free University Amsterdam and completed his Masters Degrees in 1995. In 1995, Verheijen developed his Masters thesis into the book ‘Conditioning for Soccer' which became the coach education book of the Dutch FA (KNVB) in 1997. Verheijen became a pro-license instructor at the Dutch FA in 1998.  In 2014, Verheijen published the best-selling book ‘Football Periodisation'. More than 30,000 copies have been sold worldwide. His latest books are ‘Football Coaching Theory' (2020) and ‘Tactical Principles' (2022). In our discussion today, we talk about the importance of understanding fitness as the number of game actions a player can complete in a minute, not mindless running. Fitness must be focused on the ability to repeat game actions, not simply run without the ball. We also discuss injuries, how the US develops slow players because of our tournament model, how playing up must be managed better, and so much more.  Learn more about Raymond and grab his books at www.fcevolution.com.  BECOME A PREMIUM MEMBER OF CHANGING THE GAME PROJECT If you or your club/school is looking for all of our best content, from online courses to blog posts to interviews organized for coaches, parents and athletes, then become a premium member of Changing the Game Project today.

OVERVIEWSo many athletes are focused on training in Zone 2, but they don't realize "Zone 2" means different things depending on which training system you use. There is a 3-Zone system, a 5-Zone system, a 7-Zone system, and even more! Two of the most popular are 3-Zones, championed by researcher Dr. Stephen Seiler, and a 7-Zone system used by CTS and many other coaching groups. In Episode 241 of "The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast", Coach Adam Pulford answers a listener question about how an athlete can compare or use more than one training zone methodology, and what "Zone 2" means in a 3-Zone system compared to a 7-Zone system.TOPICS COVEREDWhy training zones were created7-Zone system compared to a 3-Zone systemUsing aerobic decoupling to evaluate aerobic conditioningPractical advice for athletes trying to use training zonesASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTLINKS/RESOURCESComplete Guide to Polarized Training with Dr. Stephen SeilerZones Calculator Overview – TrainingPeaks Help CenterCalculator Compare: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aptCiqhjm6Fn7vG6P50AX54pW1P7XdVWx-lCARzNA5U/edit?gid=965771708#gid=965771708Episode #170 “Leveraging Lab and Field Testing to Create a Bigger Aerobic Engine” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trainright-podcast/id1494799053?i=1000634902218Aerobic Decoupling: https://help.trainingpeaks.com/hc/en-us/articles/204071724-Aerobic-Decoupling-Pw-Hr-and-Pa-HR-and-Efficiency-Factor-EFAre You Fit?

In Exercise Science there's a concept (tool, scale) that's used to assess how hard a person thinks they're working (1-10) based on their capacity, with 10 being their (perceived) absolute physical limit. It's called the 'Rate of Perceived Exertion' (RPE) scale. It's a subjective self-assessment (which makes it makes it more science-ish, than hard science) but nonetheless, I'm always interested in how hard people 'think' they're working (or perhaps, how much of their potential they think they're using) in the gym, but also outside the gym. In life. In this TYP extravaganza, Dr. Jodi (who has a PhD. in Exercise Physiology) and I do a deep dive around this concept (and lots more).drjodirichardson.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you like getting into the science of HYROX training, this chat, with one of the most respected endurance coaches in the world, is for you!

OVERVIEWThere's a misconception that mixing higher-intensity intervals and Zone 2 aerobic endurance riding in the same session is bad. The contention is that exposure to higher intensities hinders the stimulus that leads to improved fat oxidation. Coach Adam Pulford dispels this myth and explains how training zones work together and can be used in additive and complementary ways.TOPICS COVEREDHow training intensities complement each other rather than cancel each otherAspects of fitness that can be improved at ALL INTENSITIESThe limitation of focusing too much on improving fat oxidationHow progressive overload works to gradually build fitnessASK A QUESTION FOR A FUTURE PODCASTLINKS/RESOURCESIs Zone 2 Training Overhyped or Under Appreciated? #41 - Zone 2 training: why all the talk?

In this game-changing episode, I'm challenging everything you thought you knew about exercise after 40. Forget the old rules about cardio being queen – I'm sharing why resistance training is actually your secret weapon for burning fat, building stronger bones, and even creating new brain neurons. Drawing from my background in Exercise Physiology at USC and the latest research, I break down why it's never too late to start lifting weights (yes, even at 85!), and how to begin safely and effectively. You'll discover why those gym machines aren't just for twentysomethings, and how building muscle becomes your metabolic superpower. Plus, I reveal the surprising truth about getting "bulky" (spoiler alert: it's probably not what you think), and share my fool-proof strategy for starting your strength training journey today. What you'll learn: Why resistance training trumps cardio for fat loss, heart health, and longevity after 40 The fascinating science behind myokines and how they boost brain health and immunity Essential baseline measurements to track your strength training progress A practical breakdown of the three main movement patterns for total body transformation How to progress safely from beginner to advanced resistance training The truth about muscle building for women over 40 and why "getting bulky" is a myth The optimal combination of resistance training and daily movement for best results Love the Podcast?

OVERVIEWWhat you rest for is what you're investing in. Group rides, interval days, training races, goal races... you can't be completely fresh and rested for all of them, but when should you train through an event versus tapering for it? Should you rest for a few days before big weekend group rides or treat them like any other training day? Scheduling rest and recovery is as important as scheduling aerobic endurance work or high intensity intervals. Coach Adam Pulford teaches you how to know the differences between using a short rest to freshen up, a structured taper to maximize performance, or a long rest to deload between training phases.

80% of people will experience lower back pain at some point in their lives and for many people, that pain is chronic. I'm joined today by Exercise Physiologist and lower back pain specialist, Amanda Harris to talk about what makes back pain unique, how we can overcome it, and what we can do to prevent it in the first place. Amanda HarrisBeing mentored by and actively collaborating with some of the top surgeons, neurologists, manual medicine physicians, and physical therapists in the Mid-Atlantic over the past 25 years has given me a unique perspective on how the human body “should” move and how that movement can also “heal”. By identifying faulty movement patterns, and using gentle movement and exercise to correct them, we can free ourselves from back pain, and go on to live healthy, active lives. I also have a Master's Degree (M.Ed.) in Exercise Physiology from the University of Virginia, am a certified Medical Exercise Specialist through the Medical Exercise Training Institute in Houston TX, and am a certified RedCord Active Specialist through RedCord International.

Is healing pain really as complex as it's often made out to be? While the current drumbeat in the rehabilitation world is that pain is complex, that statement often leads to a lot of resignation for many professionals, which trickles down to clients.       Yes, there are layers and work to do, but is it actually complex? I don't think so. When I help someone sense into themselves and into their own rhythm, remarkable change is possible.      Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.functionalsynergy.com/298
