Coaching Tip of the Week:
I just listened to the Cycling in Alignment with coach Colby Pearce in Boulder on Feet, Power and Racing. One of his points was on the topic of foot alignment and the problems with having worn out cleats and/or cycling shoes. He recommends replacing bike cleats once per season or as often as they fail his testing protocol for determining if they are worn to the point of needing replacement.
This is a great reminder to do a Pre-Season Gear Check before the training really ramps up. Here are 10 things you can check, tune or replace as needed.
