Welcome to the podcast. It's dedicated to making you a faster cyclist, the Asuka cycling coach podcast presented by trainer road coach Jonathan Lee and we have with us canadael and trainer roads Amber Pierce.

Good morning.

And our head coach Chad Timberman.

Hi everyone.

And we started darn near on time at 8 a.m. I think that we were three or two seconds after that's pretty darn good. Good for us.

Out of us. Let it go team.

Today we're going to answer the questions that you have submitted at trainer road.com slash podcast podcast. Please go there.

Submit those questions. Any questions that you have about training about human physiology today.

We're going to talk about blood flow restriction training. If it's something that we should work on and and incorporated into our training regime.

We're going to talk about whether cold weather starts cramping or not.

We might even talk about snails and base layers some strange stuff.

It'll be awesome. I even want to ask you Chad a little bit about because I feel like we haven't talked to you about this.

But the spring classics the races have been going on. I want to find out which ones what things have caught your eye and it's all of it because it's been a really exciting racing.

Not just in the spring classics, but just early season in general. It's been good.

So yeah, it's been fascinating so far. I'm a little disappointed that they flipped around Amstel with Perry or Bayek because April first, you know, first we get in April is typically that and it's it's basically my Christmas.

I mean, it's the biggest thing on my annual calendar. I look very much to court to it. But Amstel is a good substitute and Perry based still going to happen.

It's not going to get canceled like it did last year or before.

But just certain revelations. I mean, it's fun to it's fun to watch well then aren't dominate, but it's also fun when you can't make it because then the race just opens up and it's entirely unpredictable.

That's super fun. And then this isn't classics, but I'm watching the it's Julia in the to the bass country, right?

Yeah, bass country. And just watching Remco actually be a worker for the team and some his lead out so far. If you haven't seen him, I don't want to spoil it, but it's amazing.

Yeah, so it is just a wonderful time of year because there's so much bike racing going on. I mean, it's almost too much to keep up with.

Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely. It's good stuff. And it gives Amber all these fantastic flashbacks.
