RIDE WITH FRIENDS

Hello, hello!

While we're all about doing your specific workouts and focusing hard on your interval sets over at Consummate Athlete HQ, we also have been realizing that thanks to a ton of trainer time and unfortunately, pandemic restrictions, a lot of people haven't gone back to riding in groups or even with a couple of friends. But these rides can also have HUGE benefits for race day. Check out the full article here and get inspired to make ride plans: Why You Should Be Training With Other People (Sometimes)

And on the podcast, we talked about how to look at your race after the fact, so that you'll be ready for next time: Post-Race Review – First Races Back

As always, thanks for being part of our crew—hope you have an active, healthy week!! 

-Molly & Peter
