Welcome to the podcast is dedicated in making you a faster cyclist to ask a cycling coach podcast presented by trainer road and coach Jonathan Lee. We have candidate on trainer trainer roads Amber Pierce with us today. How you doing Amber? I'm doing great. It's great to be here. Hi everyone. Hey, we have a cliff are raising and trainer roads Pete Morris.

Hello everybody.

And we have our CEO Nate Pearson. Hello.

We are going to answer more of the questions you submitted at trainer road calm slash podcast. You can do that every week by the way and I love seeing the questions that you send in. Please continue to do that. We'll go through and pick some of the great ones that you've sent in to be able to address them on the podcast every week.

Quick little note. We've had some some fantastic successful athletes podcast lately and we're going to have some great ones coming up. So you can subscribe to that podcast of the link down below as well as the science of getting faster podcast.

And you can do that as well at a link below. I should figure out how to talk if we're going to record a podcast right now talking stuff right now.

If you want someone like a comeback story, you could use me in the future. This is actually why you've done this whole thing.

I just looked at my four weeks like average hours on Strava one hour per week plus four weeks. So my training is literally like 10% of what it was.

Crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy. Yeah, life happens. Yeah, true. Yeah. This is that. This is why Nate did this just so that we could have a great successful athletes podcast episode entirely designed for it.

So you should check it out. Fantastic episodes. He just talks with a teacher that did a high school math teacher who hero alone for that. And then she did a double Ironman. She's amazing. Talk to the youngest athlete we've had on the successful athletes podcast 16 year old.

High school math. That is that's patience. Yes, there's probably some AP class where it's I don't know, but me and high school math, but she formal geometry.

I renal high Amber probably ace that class, but she goes, yeah, I did. You did. She's laughing. That's what you want to Stanford. But yeah, it's it's a lot of it's really hard. I mean to do that.

Yeah, yeah, I can't even describe. And she she just got up super early to get her training in because she couldn't, you know, with teachers, they have a really long day that takes up the the day, right?

Like it takes up the whole time and keeping up on nutrition throughout the day was also tough for her. But she shares like the tips that she did because teachers can't take a bathroom break in the middle of the day. So like you can't just like overly hydrate. You know, it's oh my gosh,

it's like, it was, it was a really great podcast. And we just let some P. Well, no, like she can't just be like, hey,

like, two glasses. It's fun. She can't be like, hey, students hang out for a while. I'm going to go to the bathroom. They have to be.

Class of the kids. I remember mind doing it too, but I think that she's just really responsible and awesome. So we also, we interviewed a 16 year old who is at 5.6 watts per kilogram.

331 FTP. And then he's 130 pounds from Texas. And he was gone through Nica. And we talked all about like what racing at night in Nica is like I'm what training is like in Nica versus now he's racing in the elite.

So the pro cat one field. Yeah. It was cool to talk about the differences and how the races shake out how he's had to adjust.

Anyways, really cool stuff. And we have great episodes coming up. I want to leak about them, but you never know if like a recording will fall through. So I won't say it yet. But fantastic ones. And if you want to be on that, there's also a link down below for you to submit your story about how trainers help make you faster.

Nate, an adaptive training update. We should share because there's been quite a lot of progress this week. Yes, we have 1,550 people now in it. And we're adding. I just checked it.

So let's just a critical back today for an extra 400. So that's the like I said before the pace is coming up a lot more about getting people in. And as long as there's no additional bugs, the pace will increase increase and increase.
