SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Starting Saturday, July 26, CTS will publish daily Tour de France Femmes podcasts with Coaches Adam Pulford and Renee Eastman. They'll recap the stage, but the unique aspect of these podcasts will be coaching insights about how athletes prepare for the demands showcased in that day's stage.

EPISODE OVERVIEW
Respect is a touchy subject, but this is not a touchy-feely, woo-woo episode of the podcast. In true "Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast" fashion, Coach Adam Pulford gives actionable, pragmatic advice on how athletes can change their physical, emotional, and competitive habits to act with greater respect and, in turn, unlock greater performance. When you respect your body, you give it what it needs and pay attention to good and bad days. When you respect your emotions, you gain insights that help you adjust training to align important workouts and performance tests with productive emotional states. And when you respect the competition, you can always feel good about the outcome, win or lose.
