Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A clear cadence reminder for riders who keep reaching for too-big gears.
This episode keeps its focus on cadence and makes a clear case that 90 to 100 rpm can be more efficient than 70 when power rises. From there, it moves through tempo, zone two, sprint work, and VO2 sessions to argue for building leg speed instead of reaching for bigger gears by…
Practical race prep, with enough restraint to stay useful.
This episode stays on the practical side of race prep. It looks at TT position, wind tunnel thinking, volume changes, and interval work that can fit into a real training week.
A practical training chat that moves past Zone 2 slogans and into what actually drives performance.
Gavin Mannion's conversation with EVOQ.BIKE Cycling Podcast sits in the space where training advice stops sounding catchy and starts looking usable.
Sprint speed is treated here as repeatable work, not a talent myth.
The episode stays close to the work itself: repeated high-power surges, why riders keep going over 600 watts, and how those efforts decide whether a racer closes a gap or opens one.
The best plan is the one that fits the athlete, not the calendar.
This episode keeps its focus on the head game behind good legs. Grant Holicky makes a steady case for planning around the athlete in front of him instead of forcing everyone into the same shape.
A practical reset for racers trying to salvage form after injury or a training setback.
The episode keeps its feet on the ground. A racer dealing with injury, falling CTL, and a big event coming up gets a simple answer: stop spiraling over the number, get the legs moving again, and think in terms of stimulus and adaptation.
A clear-eyed look at lifting for cyclists, with speed and fatigue kept in balance.
The discussion takes a practical look at strength training for cyclists and keeps the focus on racing, not the gym. It moves through the case for lifting, including early doubt, and returns to the same tension: can strength work make a rider faster, or does it leave too much…
A plainspoken reminder that most riders are better off trusting their routine than inventing a special taper.
Brendan Hauser and Landry Bobo treat the A-race question as a simple one: who actually needs to peak, and who is dressing up a normal race in pro-level language? Their strongest point is the warning against inventing a special taper.
Cycling obsession, roasted at group-ride pace.
Owen Cole, an Evoke coach and U23 cyclist, discusses his training approach leading up to winning a stage at Redlands, covering topics like wind tunnel aerodynamics, balancing volume with intensity, and managing school stress.
Brendan Hauser shares three tips for amateur cyclists: be more aggressive in race finishes, use group rides strategically to conserve energy, and push through tough workouts even when performance feels subpar.
The hosts analyze pro cyclist Jonas Abrahamsen's training regimen, covering his dramatic physical transformation, unique interval sessions like 8x8 threshold progressions, extreme heat adaptation protocols, and massive training volume.
The hosts discuss the importance of high cadence training for cycling efficiency, explaining how grinding at low cadence causes neuromuscular fatigue that depletes sprint power in races.
Colby Pierce discusses how cyclists can balance anaerobic and aerobic training based on event demands and personal characteristics.
The hosts and guest Keegan Swerbel discuss strength training for cyclists, covering personal experiences, effective exercises like Bulgarian split squats, and debunking myths about weight gain.
The host shares his journey from skepticism to advocacy for chain waxing, debunking common myths about maintenance, cost, and performance.

Host Brennan Houser interviews mountain biker Seth Zalewski about how he won the Masters Marathon Nationals despite a significant injury and drop in fitness.
Brendan Hauser and Landry Bobo discuss why most amateur cyclists don't need an 'A race,' arguing that focusing on consistent performance across all races builds confidence and avoids mental pressure.
Brendan Hauser and guest Landry Bobo analyze UAE Team's training methods, revealing shifts like higher zone two intensity, elimination of junk miles, and focused sessions like torque training and aerobic threshold intervals.
Cycling coach Grant Holicky discusses advanced training strategies for cyclocross and other disciplines, emphasizing the importance of torque work, individualized programs, and mental performance.
European champion duathlete Arnaud Dele discusses his training approach, blending high-volume running and cycling with insights on VO2 max workouts, strength training, and the benefits of running for cyclists.
