Training alone might feel productive, but it’s not always the most effective way to improve. In this episode, CTS Coach Adam Pulford explores the concept of social facilitation and how training with others can enhance performance, motivation, and skill development. We also cover when group rides can backfire, how to find the right balance between solo and group training, and how to structure your week to get the most out of both.
