b"In today\\u2019s episode, we catch up with our friends at The Pro\\u2019s Closet, Spencer Powlison and Bruce Lin, to discuss their recent four-week Strava PR Challenge. In the lead up to their attempts, we helped them with training advice and \\u201crace-day\\u201d strategy tips.\\xa0\\nNo doubt, this has been an unusual year for cycling. Many of our favorite races were postponed or canceled. And while bikes aren't the most important thing in the world, and public health and safety should always be our priority, as cyclists we thrive on the motivation that comes from training for a big race or event, or setting our sights on a particular challenge.\\nThus, The Pro\\u2019s Closet Strava PR Challenge was born.\\xa0\\nTo reinvigorate their competitive juices and get a dose of competition, Bruce and Spencer turned their attention to local Strava segments in Boulder, Colorado. Trevor gave them some training tips on how to prepare most effectively given their timeline (a mere six weeks), and we also coached them on \\u201crace-day\\u201d strategy.\\xa0\\xa0\\nToday we recap all the tips, tricks, and training advice, and talk about how their attempts went. Let\\u2019s make you fast!\\xa0\\nCheck out the series of videos produced by The Pro\\u2019s Closet: https://www.theproscloset.com/blogs/news/the-four-week-strava-pr-challenge-pt-1\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
