Welcome to the Esco Cycling Coach podcast presented by Trainor Robo.

We're going to go through an athlete's calendar, their training calendar, look at what they're doing well and what they aren't doing well, and why they might not be taking their recovery seriously enough.

And that's probably actually keeping their FTP knocked down and kind of stuck too low.

In a previous week's episode, we actually had a comment that I thought was fantastic.

It says, best episode ever.

Funny thing, I was that guy this year. Now I ride half the volume,

but all structured and suddenly I get better. It also aligns with a comment that I saw on

Instagram. GCN recently posted something asking everybody, what do you think about AI

is your training partner? And of course, we very curiously looked at all the comments. Lots of mentions of

Traynor Road in there. And it was really cool to see how many people were saying that. And one guy

said, Traynor Road just keeps telling me I'm training too, like I'm doing too much. And then

another person said, yeah, me too. But funny thing is, I listen to it and I'm faster than I've ever been and I'm training less. So it's pretty great. That's awesome.

Yeah, it was good stuff.

It was good to see that.

I opened it with some trepidation, you know, just to see like what the social narratives would be on the whole thing.

And cyclists are digging it.

So let's get into it.

Greg sent in this question.

He said that he needed to take recovery more seriously. He said his family says that he doesn't take

it seriously enough either. And he wanted us to go through his account. So, Greg, if, yeah, go ahead.

Yeah. So does Greg say he has an issue? Or does his family just say he needs to cover, take

recovery more seriously? Like, is there an issue? Is he too tired? Is he not doing what he wants?
