| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Asuka Cycling Coach podcast presented by trainer road today. |
| 0:03.0 | We're going to talk about breath training in, I guess you could call it, |
| 0:06.1 | in-speratory training or in-speratory muscle training, respiratory muscle training, |
| 0:10.6 | all of it. We're going to talk about training your breath, maybe looking like Bane with one of those |
| 0:14.1 | mask things. We're going to talk about that and what the science says and see if it makes you |
| 0:19.4 | a faster cyclist. We're going to talk about pro race prep tips. So like Recon and everything else |
| 0:24.4 | because Ivy and I have some stuff coming up that we're going to talk about. |
| 0:26.9 | Oh my, yikes. We're also going to talk about, not your committee. |
| 0:32.4 | Yeah, I'm sure. We're going to talk about balancing life and training too. So on that note, |
| 0:38.3 | single track six, it's one of the more, I think like long standing and well known mountain bike |

| 1:22.4 | strong enough to make that happen, Chad decided after day one, he's like, this is too rich for my |
| 1:27.7 | blood. I'm going to do every other day instead of every day. I'm just going to turn to my own three day |
| 1:32.0 | stage race instead of six. And then after doing that for like three days, he was like, yeah, no, |
