Improving Strength + Efficiency for Triathletes and Cyclists w/ Ryan Worn

Today on the podcast, we are joined for a second time by Ryan Worn. Ryan came on the podcast recently to chat about economy and efficiency and this is part 2 of that conversation. He has completed a PhD in exercise science, focusing specifically on economy, efficiency, and fatigue.

In this episode we focus more on the topics of efficiency, fatigue and delaying fatigue, and then getting into the one of the major ways that you can do that, which is strength and conditioning.
