•
We chat with Alex Welburn- professional coach with Trainsharp. Alex is well known for his MTB, Cyclocross and Road Racing results and performances- and coaching results an clients speak for themselves too. Alex has BSc in Sport and Exercise Science and MSc applied physiology so he knows his stuff.
We cover a range of topics including FTP and why isn't everything, mistakes people make when starting out training, how to prepare for a season that doesn't exist yet and much more.
