Episode 27 - Using Xert to Coach Your Athletes

Scott, Armando and Steve do a deep dive on Magic Buckets in this podcast. How did this "latest thing in training" come to be and why is everyone calling it a "game-changer"? Learn how it works and why it's going to be an essential part of your training from this day forward.

After a bit of a hiatus, we're back with a new season of podcasts. Join Scott, Armando and special guest Steve Neal to learn about Xert's Forecast and Race AI - the only outcome-based training platform available today.

Steve Neal joins the gang to talk about how he uses the capabilities of Xert with his athletes. Learn about some of the unique aspects of Xert from his perspective. Get new insights that will help you with your training or, if you're a coach, help better prepare your athletes for success in competition.

Structured training is essential to reaching your goals but doing workouts that are based on %FTP has its pitfalls. Listen to the gang discuss the limitations of using %FTP and how Xert has addressed these limitations, allowing you to do workouts that are better individualized, more efficient and even do them synchronized with other athletes, a.k.a Xert Group Sessions.

Training isn't just about doing workouts and following a plan. Sometimes being opportunistic and understanding the goals of training allow you to achieve new levels of fitness you never thought possible. Listen to the Xert gang talk about what it takes to be your best this season.

EBC. Does it stand for anything? What's it all about? Listen to the gang discuss their experiences with head units and bike computers, introduce you to Xert EBC and talk about how it fits into the Xert's future.

After a bit of a hiatus, the gang gets together again to get caught up on everything that's been happening. Listen to their stories about reaching new levels and injury recovery with an added unique perspective of MVDP's performance at Strade Bianche.

Zones are easy to understand but much too cumbersome for the average athlete to use effectively. Xert's Focus Duration simplifies the complex task of understanding how each athlete's fitness is unique, how performance demands differ from one type of ride to another and how to optimize your training to get the most out of your workouts. Join the gang to learn about Focus Duration, this unique Xert feature.

From A.V.Hill to Monod Scherrer to Seiler, the gang talks about the research and how it relates to Xert. Geeky cool. Listen in.
