Ask FasCat #10 — Coachable Traits, TSS, and Recovery
Frank Overton
Welcome to another periodized Q&A session of the FasCat Podcast, where we field listener questions from our forum, website, and social media to help you get even faster on the bike. This go around we touch on a range of topics, including the most "coachable" traits in athletes, following the plan in the heat or sacrificing sleep, recovery, weight loss and treats, and even a question from Phil Gaimon.
If you want to get a question answered in the next one, be sure to sign up for our forum over at forum.fascatcoaching.com to hop in the conversation. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
