Training essentials

what do speed skaters and cyclists have in common? speed skaters do a lot of cycling to build up shape. now of course most of us are nowhere near elite, but it’s well worth looking at what’s important and what isn’t. this is a great read, written by the Swedish Olympic Champion Nils van der Poel, about his training (and imo also what we can learn from it)

Really really interesting, first 21 pages one can use his principles across other disciplines. And his Epilogue, about leading, very sincere.
