The Strangest Training Hack That Might Just Work | GCN Show Ep. 631

🎥 Find the show and watch it on YouTube: GCN Show 631

Could riding less—or even not at all—actually make you a better cyclist? How much can you really improve with rest? After finding a study showing someone improved their VO2 max more after taking a long break from exercise, Dan Lloyd and Si Richardson got curious. 🤔

They discuss it in today's show, plus, why they believe Tadej Pogačar might race Paris-Roubaix this year, how cycling could save your employer thousands, a major announcement with Core, Egan Bernal’s amazing first win since his crash, and more!
