Ever wondered about the intricate science behind cardiovascular fitness and the mysterious VO2 max readings on your smart devices? Or pondered about the impact of bike crank lengths on your cadence? Well, your curiosity is about to be satiated as we explore these fascinating topics with our guest, Wolfman. An exercise physiologist turned real estate agent, Wolfman's unique journey is sure to captivate you as much as his insights on physiology and bike mechanics.
Imagine hitting a wall during your training because you've been pushing too hard—overtraining is a genuine concern, and we'll be uncovering the importance of recovery and mental strength and how renowned athletes like Chris Horner and Mark Spitz handle training. But it's not all about the physical; we also delve into muscle cramps and the science behind them, plus the long-term impacts of high-intensity training. We're also going to take a closer look at the significance of bike fit, from saddle height to handlebars, and how it can make a world of difference to your cycling performance.
In the final segment, we explore the intersection between real estate and bicycles in communities, the advantages of bike paths, and the perils of sidewalk riding. We delve into the role infrastructure plays in creating not just an easier, safer cycling experience, but also how it can up the value of your home. And if you've ever struggled with sleep hygiene, you'll want to tune in as we discuss its impact on training performance and the benefits of sleep studies and CPAP machines. So grab your headphones, hop on your bike, and join us for a conversation that promises to be as enlightening as it is engaging.
