Welcome to an episode of the Ask of Cycling Coach podcast presented by trainer road.

We have Dr. Kyle Fauf and Bach from Eastern Oregon University with us.

We also have Santa Cruz, Bicycles, Keegan Swenson, sponsored by Ferros, cool insurance company that's really getting into cycling and supporting cyclists and athletes, which is really great.

And Raffa and Maxis and Rock Shocks and all those other brands too.

We have the student, we have Mr. Meaggy and Daniel Son here with us today, which is pretty sweet because

Kagan and Kyle have worked together now for some time. Kyle, it's good to have you back on. We were just talking about

Keegan's training camp. He's in the middle of it for Unbound right now getting prepped.

And first of all, Keegan, what sort of hours are we talking about that you've been doing for the past couple weeks here?

Yeah I don't quite I was hot top my head but close to the old 35 40 hours last couple weeks so just stacked the volume per week per week yeah per week

if you can't see Kyle's got a face of, yeah, he's incredulous.

Kyle, how many athletes do you have that train at that sort of, now granted, this isn't like

Keegan, this isn't an everyday sort of thing.

Or actually, we don't have to tell people that maybe it isn't everyday thing

maybe these are light the movie that's all right words but yeah no recovery weeks right but

Kyle how many of your athletes do you have a train like this?

In terms of volume... I don't think anyone trades with that, just volume. It's

different because in runners I think about it in terms of touches.

So it's interesting because like the runners I work with are middle distance runners and so they do get up there to some pretty nice mileage. It's really variable. It's just like based

on what the person responds to. You know, one of the things we were just talking about

was how it's amazing that Keegan's body can handle that type of volume and it's very cool because

like you have to figure out what what you're a responder to like so that the runners I work with

for example they'll range from some of them 40 miles a week and some are like closer to 120.
