Last year was our first season of racing, and like a lot of new racers… we made some mistakes. One of the biggest? Not understanding the importance of peaking at the right time.

In this episode we break down one of the most common (and season-killing) mistakes amateur cyclists make: peaking too early.

We dive into why riders feel fast early in the year, why that’s often false form, and how too much intensity too soon can quietly ruin your entire season. If you’re racing crits, road races, or just trying to level up while using AI as your coach—this one’s for you.
