The Process with CINCH Cycling

One year ago CINCH athlete Tracey Jacobs had a life threatening cycling crash.  She shattered two vertebrae in her neck which required intense surgery.  She was lucky to be alive and was uncertain to ever ride her bike again.  In this episode we share the story of how this mother, business owner, and fierce competitor got through this traumatic injury and overcame it. Tracey didn't just get back on her bike, but the journey back made her a better mother, wife, business owner, and athlete. 

It's time to get amped up and crush the upcoming week!  This workout mix is built around the CINCH Fire Mindset.  The Fire Mindset is an intense mental state best matched with threshold intensity in your workouts or to get you fired up to take a difficult project on at work or at home.  I made this mix with the intention to bring out the fire in you!  Enjoy!

Summer maybe coming to a close, but the transition between seasons means new opportunity awaits us.   In this summer throwback episode we share with you an unreleased podcast where list and dissect many lessons that can be learned from everyone's favorite cycling month, July. We also share some fun stories from our community from our now Tour de CINCH that happened this summer. We hope you enjoy this episode as you get ready to fall forward with the momentum of what we learned this summer.

CINCH Coach and Founder Tom Danielson's coaching style includes a strong mindset focus.  He believes that by connecting specific mindsets and emotional states with training intensities and scenarios, you can perform at a higher level, more consistently.   Music has proven to be so powerful in our athletes progression we thought we would make more of an effort to share it with our podcast listeners. You can use this mix created by Tom before and or during your workouts.

In this episode hosts Derek, Kourntney, and Tom talk about their new book, gravel racing, our team experience at the SBT GRVL race, overcoming fear, and more.

We take a close look how their cycling community works, how they can master their workouts on the roads they have ride on, and how to use specific strategies to perform well on their local group rides.

Don’t let your nutrition hold you back!

The CINCH team takes a deep dive into analyzing how Philippe Gilbert used his Puncheur rider type abilities to win one of the biggest World Tour Races of the year, Paris Roubaix; a course suited for a bigger more powerful rider type like Classic Sprinters or Classic TT riders.   We talk positioning, cadence changes, timing, tactics and rider types, before breaking down how these tools can be used in your local rides and races.

We recap of legendary Boulder Roubaix with an in-depth discussion on the race-winning approach our athletes took that yielded a total of 9 podiums. We quickly transition into the CINCH Process as Zack grills Tom interview style on why Tom made it his life's mission to teach regular people to ride like a World Tour Cyclist. Finally, Kourtney pulls back the curtain of Three Sigma Nutrition System that hundreds of athletes have used to match their workouts with the energy systems used in the workouts.

Today on the Process with CINCH Cycling we dive into the CINCH Coaching process and what makes it unique.  We discuss the concept of Rider Types, how we uniquely sync nutrition with training and racing, and how our zone system is different than all the others.  

In this episode we share with you our experience racing the 24 Hours of Old Pueblo, an endurance mountain biking event.  We fielded two teams in the event and in this episode we share how we prepared for it, what it was like, and how we ended up in the finish!  It was an incredible experience and we really enjoyed sharing it during this episode.
