The Matchbox - A Cycling Podcast

Episode 19 - Mash or Spin to Win?

Welcome to episode 19 of The Matchbox Podcast presented by Ignition Coach Co. Host Adam Saban is joined by Ignition co-founders, Dylan Johnson and Drew Dillman. This week we received a listener question asking about optimal cadence for steep climbing so we figured we would do a deep dive on the topic of cadence. Is there an optimal cadence for producing power? Should you vary your cadence while training to improve performance? Does a faster cadence get you up that climb faster than a slower cadence? Stay tuned to hear our takes on questions like these and more.
