They break down the specific habits that make professionals better at the process of training—protecting key interval sessions, resisting the urge to add junk miles, prioritizing consistency over massive volume spikes, and using tools like RPE, heart rate, and repeat workout benchmarks to measure real progress. Zach also shares how he adapts structured workouts for gravel racing, manages fatigue, and builds race-ready fitness for long events like Unbound. If you want to train smarter, execute your plan better, and think like a pro cyclist, this episode delivers the blueprint.// RESOURCES MENTIONED- Zach Calton’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachcalton - Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠- Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad - Join the TrainerRoad Zwift Club 🚴 ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub⁠ // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS!https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ TrainerRoad is the #1 cycling training app. No other cycling app is more effective.

He breaks down how he’s building FTP from 289 to 299 watts while dropping weight from 156 to 154 lbs, with the long-term goal of ~320w and ~147 lbs. You’ll hear his weekly structure of sweet spot, over-unders, and endurance volume, how AI FTP Detection keeps workouts “appropriately difficult,” and the nutrition plan behind it: a small ~250-calorie deficit, 90g carbs/hour during rides, and consistent post-workout recovery to avoid under-fueling. He also covers Leadville race strategy and gear upgrades—aero positioning, skinsuit options, helmet and pedal changes, and tire testing—plus his charity fundraising for the Life Time Foundation.// RESOURCES MENTIONED- Lifetime Foundation Donation Link: https://give.ltfoundation.org/fundraiser/6845358 - Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠- Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad - Join the TrainerRoad Zwift Club 🚴 ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub⁠ // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS!https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ TrainerRoad is the #1 cycling training app. No other cycling app is more effective.

They address environmental impact concerns, clear up common misconceptions around FTP and AI, and share recent updates like the Power Records Chart, group workouts returning, and new controls for fatigue detection and workout scoring—ultimately focusing on how these changes help athletes get more consistent, achievable training and better results.// RESOURCES MENTIONED- Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠- Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/TrainerRoad - Join the TrainerRoad Zwift Club 🚴 ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/trzwiftclub⁠ // TRY TRAINERROAD RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS!https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠ TrainerRoad is the #1 cycling training app. No other cycling app is more effective.
