How quickly do you lose fitness, what is the minimum amount of training needed just to maintain fitness and what actually happens our bodies if we stop training for a few weeks?  In todays podcast Sarah navigates the uncharted territories of detraining, exploring its impacts on our bodies and unraveling the science behind reversing fitness gains. From the inevitable reduction in VO2 max to the nuances of maintaining and regaining fitness, we decode the complexities cyclists face during breaks.
