Making training efficient for people with busy lives and big goals.

At The Consummate Athlete, we’re here to help you make the most of the time you do have for training. So, what’s new this week?

Getting ready for chilly 🍁 🥶 riding weather

We’re all about getting ready for Fall riding over on the blog, with our Fall Weather Gear MVPs for Cycling and the Clothing Matrix that helps you figure out what layers to wear when you’re heading out for those weird in-between rides. The real key? Layer, Layers and more Layers. If you’re new to cycling and just starting to grow your wardrobe or you’re on a budget, think about adding thin layers like arm and leg warmers rather than long sleeves and full tights. A raincoat paired with a long baselayer and jersey will handle most chilly days if you don’t have a winter jacket yet. (We do love a good winter jacket and tights, but there’s something to be said for versatility, especially if you’re not planning on a ton of winter riding.)

First one question: “At what cost?” Read the rest: You Can Do It All… But Not At Once

⏰ 💪 The Evolution of My Morning Routine + What I Do Now for Yoga + Strength
