Stages Power meter failure rate, the latest on carboloading, and how to get your confidence back after a crash.

In this episode you ask your cycling related questions, and we answer. It's as simple as that.

Question 1: I’ve crashed recently and just don’t feel the same as I did before. What can I do to get my confidence back?

Question 2: I’ve been off the bike for the last two months and dread to think how low my power numbers have gone. How should I go about getting back into riding and training?

Question 3: I like listening to podcasts and music while riding and feel like it’s a great training aid. Am I risking my life or is there nothing to worry about?

Question 4: For those of us on a smart trainer who aren’t using power match, what are your calibration tips to ensure consistent readings?
