OVERVIEW
Polarized vs. SweetSpot definitionsSweetSpot pros and consPolarized training pros and consPractical recommendations for Time-Crunched Cyclists
Overview: The sports science debate between training methodologies seems to pit Polarized training (e.g., hard days hard, easy days easy) against Tempo/Sweetspot training (e.g., high aerobic training, often derided as "the middle ground"). For real athletes, all intensities matter and how you use them depends on your available time and your goals. Here's how to figure it out.

Join Coach Adam Pulford and Dr. Alan McCubbin, a sports dietitian from Monash University, to unpack the complexities of hydration, particularly for those balancing tight schedules. We discuss the essential strategies for pre-exercise hydration, managing fluid loss during workouts, and effective rehydration post-exercise. We also tackle the debate on whether to drink based on thirst or follow a pre-set plan and learn how to create a comprehensive sweat rate profile for varying conditions.
Hydration needs for time-crunched vs. time-rich athletesWhat does 'optimal hydration' even mean?The problem with 'overdrinking'Practical methods of hydration assessmentDrink to thirst or follow a hydration plan?Putting sweat rate testing data into practice The truth about "losing 2% of bodyweight due to dehydration"How much fluid should you replace during exercise?

In Episode 195, we answer a listener question about using power, heart rate, rate of perceived exertion and the talk test to gauge if you're hitting your Zone 2 or creeping out of it. CTS Coach and physiologist Renee Eastman talks with Host Adam Pulford about which metrics to prioritize during specific training rides. They also discuss aerobic decoupling and the ways that changes in relationship between power and heart rate can indicate changes in aerobic fitness and durability.
