Published: Feb. 18, 2020, 9 a.m.

This week's episode came from listener questions. So thank you for sending\xa0us your questions! We are here for you and your training. Nothing is more fulfilling than knowing that the hours of research, study, and production of the podcast is useful to you. In today\u2019s Q&A episode,\xa0Coach Connor and I selected three questions to address.\n\n\nFirst, Peter Burghardt, thanks for asking us about intervals. We hope our dissection of the\xa0dreaded\xa04x8s is helpful! Enjoy Trevor\u2019s analysis of\xa0his own rides.\xa0\n\n\nNext, David\xa0Sampier\xa0down in sunny, flat, Florida\xa0brought\xa0up a really good point:\xa0How do you\xa0adequately\xa0train for a big race,\xa0specifically\xa0Dirty\xa0Kanza, when you live in a geographical area that doesn\u2019t offer the rugged,\xa0rolling\xa0terrain that you\u2019ll be faced with on race-day?\xa0\n\nFinally, Jeremiah Bell, you know we love to talk about\xa0when to train in Zone 1, Zone 2\xa0and so on, in the polarized model. Thanks for your specific question about cardiac drift and the causes of it.
