| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Ask a Cycling Coach podcast presented by trainer road. |
| 0:02.7 | It's episode 500 marked on here, and I just screwed up the intro. |
| 0:05.7 | Good stuff. |
| 0:07.0 | Still figuring this whole thing out. |
| 0:08.8 | We're going to talk about macro meals, easy ones that cyclists should know about. |
| 0:12.6 | We're also going to talk about staying fit, like, in your 30s and beyond and how things change a bit. |
| 0:17.4 | We have Alex Larson from Alex Larson nutrition with us, registered dietitian, |

| 1:01.5 | the floor that we're at. And here's the crazy thing. If you factor in the average listen time |
| 1:06.1 | that we have to our podcast, it's over 3,900 years of listening to this podcast that has happened by humans |
| 1:14.4 | on this earth. People must hear you in their sleep, like that laugh. I know, I apologize for that. |
| 1:24.2 | If you listen to every episode nonstop, it would take you five weeks. And the most popular |
| 1:30.1 | episodes, we can go through this. A most popular one when you look at YouTube and our podcast combined, |
