Improving these cyclists' performance: A case study challenge!

In this episode the co-hosts challenge each other with hypothetical athlete cases. Each cyclist differs in physiology, cycling background, and lifestyle, but they are all seeking to improve performance and reach specific competition goals. What follows for each case is an impromptu discussion on the techniques, and initial steps, we would implement, as coaches, to help these athletes achieve their cycling goals. What do you think of our approaches? Are they similar to how you would proceed?Episode Timestamps:1:50 Tying up loose ends from the previous interval pacing episode 6:30: Sarah - 34 yo, triathlete for 12 years, month off due to stress fracture while training for an ironman.
