How do two athletes train together when they have different strengths, different speeds, and different ideas about the perfect workout?

In Episode 4, we share the real bike, run, and strength plan we're using to prepare for Leadville, Wilderness 101, and the Marji Gesick duathlon. We talk about fitting six workouts into three days, protecting rest and sleep, reducing endurance volume while adapting to strength training, and preparing to run on tired mountain-bike legs.

We also dig into the relationship side of endurance training: giving up a favorite group ride, learning to slow down, deciding between structured workouts and riding with friends, training with a faster partner, and managing group-ride anxiety. Plus, Baxter the cat makes an unsolicited guest appearance.
