| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Ascicycling Coach podcast presented by trainer road today. |
| 0:02.8 | We're going to get into questions about habits that could potentially or even equipment choices that could be potentially affecting your training adversely. |
| 0:10.4 | So let's get into it. We have coach Chad and it's just us two amigos today. |
