Episode 384: ParrotTalk: A Peek Into “Inside the Cyclist”

Have you ever wondered how much the science behind fitness has changed over the years? AP found a book that dates back to 1979 called ‘Inside the Cyclist’ and it is the topic of this ParrotTalk.

‘Inside the Cyclist’ is a collection of articles from Velo News and features Ed Burke, who answers questions that 1979 athletes wrote in to ask. Murph & AP read some of these questions and provide both Ed’s comments and also their lighthearted thoughts on each topic.
