| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another episode of the Ask of Cycling Coach Podcast presented by trainer road. I'm |
| 0:04.0 | Coach Jonathan Lee and we have with us Sarah Laverdy from trainer road and our CEO Nate Pearson and |
| 0:08.2 | today we are going to look at studies because Sarah and I have been we're always looking |
| 0:11.4 | at research and every once we come together to talk about the research that we've been looking at. |
| 0:15.1 | We don't know if we're going to do videos on these yet on our YouTube channel. |
| 0:18.0 | It's just kind of exploratory and it's a fun discussion about research and we're |
| 0:21.4 | looking into sleep and how it affects us. |
| 0:24.0 | We're looking at how pro cyclist trained a really cool study that looked at four years of training |

| 1:14.6 | raise 20% likes or like thumbs up or she listens we'll stop this for like a month. |
| 1:20.4 | We'll stop saying this thing maybe two months did you guys actually do it. So I know because like probably 90% of people who listen don't do it |
| 1:28.9 | Yeah, and if just a little bit and everyone and the people who do do it are like please say it so we can stop talking about |
| 1:34.7 | red light green light to somewhere in here too because it's pretty exciting but not now |
