Dr. Jim Weinstein is back with Chuck in this episode, but this time, the roles have reversed. Dr. Weinstein, a board-certified sports dietitian himself, will be interviewing Chuck. He has much to offer from his many, many years as a coach and being involved in cycling. Chuck begins by telling us the path he took to become the successful coach that he is today, bringing us back to 1999 when he first got involved with cycling. Since he began is career, Chuck has seen technology play an increasingly significant role in training, so he provides his insights on this evolution. More and more data has become available to athletes and coaches in recent years. This leads some people to focus too much on data and fall victim to paralysis of analysis, but Chuck shares a surprisingly obvious solution to overcome this barrier. He also recommends focusing on one or two data points that you consider to be the most important. Some athletes say that their 2020 season starts in January, but Chuck insists that it starts right now. He goes through a training plan that can start today and continue into winter, taking the exercise from outdoors to indoors as the colder months arrive. Chuck has become an expert in adding strength training to athletes’ regimen. We learn about the process of incorporating training plans that build strength to complement the athlete’s primary sport. Chuck then reveals what he has the most difficulty convincing athletes of, especially for cyclists due to their deeply ingrained beliefs.
