Frank Overton, FasCat Coaching: Cycling Training Tips, Athlete Mindset, Interval Training, Coaching!

Frank and I caught up a bit. Chatting for the first 3 minutes, then we get into the history of FasCat! Even though I was a FasCat athlete wayyyy back in the day, I learn some awesome pearls about Frank!  

We get full on into training around 15 minutes in.  

What are some of the big things that you've seen change in training?  

At the amateur level, should you become a specialist, or all around racer?  

The difference in coaching and providing advice to amateurs and World Tour cyclists.  

Here’s that pesky mindset again: “observe their mindset to their daily practice of following the plan, executing their intervals. And are they a positive person? Are they negative person? Do they wear their last workout on their shoulder day to day?”  

“how are they going to react to that Crux moment of a race, where it's do or die?”  

Setting the athlete up for success with intervals.  

“If you want to get faster, determine how much you've been riding, and, and increase that overall training load.”  

Yearly kilojoules.  

Being a lifer for maximum success in cycling and any endurance sport. Try not to run super hot!  

Frank’s top tips for recovery!   

Do you think I can handle Colorado's Gucci Gravel? I'm glad Frank has some faith in me!
