Cycling Performance Club: Luke Plapp - From world class track cyclist to World Tour road racer
b'
Welcome to The Cycling Performance Club Podcast!\\xa0
In this episode we chat with Luke Plapp - Olympic bronze medalist on the track, current Australian Road Champion, and Ineos Grenadiers rider- about his transition from a successful track cyclist to racing on the road at the World Tour level.
And contrary to what one might initially think, his transition between these two roles was much more complicated than simply adding more \\u201cbase\\u201d to his training schedule. Luke has moved across the world to a new climate, from one high performance environment to another, experienced the largest week\\u2019s training load of his life, and found new limits to surpass in his own performance abilities. Find out how he has tackled these challenges in stride, and come out swinging on the other side.
As a bonus, we also dive deep into Plappy\\u2019s favorite ergogenic aid: heat acclimation- for all of you coming into the Northern Hemisphere summer.
