Neuromuscular Training for Cyclists: Improve Economy, Cadence & Power

In this episode of the Fast Talk Podcast by Fast Talk Labs, the crew revisits one of their earliest and most influential conversations on neuromuscular training for cyclists — how training muscle firing patterns, pedaling economy, and coordination can make you faster without adding fatigue. They discuss what neuromuscular work is, why traditional time-on-the-bike alone doesn’t build it, and how specific drills and workouts can improve your efficiency, cadence, power, and control.  🧠 In this episode, you’ll learn: • What neuromuscular training is — and how it improves economy and muscle firing patterns on the bike rather than just building strength or aerobic fitness  • Why co-activation (when muscles work against each other) costs you watts — and how better neuromuscular control can reduce that power leak • Why simply riding a lot doesn’t automatically improve neuromuscular patterns — specific targeted training does  • Practical neuromuscular workouts: high-cadence drills, single-leg pedaling, sprint starts, and cadence pyramids  • How to structure neuromuscular work into your season — frequency, timing, and pairing with other sessions  • Why neuromuscular work is low-fatigue yet high-return — making it valuable throughout the year  🎙️ Featured Hosts: • Trevor Connor – Endurance Specialist & Host  • Grant Holicky – Coach & Neuromuscular Training Advocate  • Griffin McMath – Host Contributor  • Rob Pickels – Cycling Coach & Co-Host  • Caley Fretz – Podcast Contributor  📈 Whether you’re a new cyclist or a seasoned racer, this episode lays out why and how neuromuscular training helps you pedal smoother, respond faster, and ride stronger — without adding undue fatigue. 👉 Subscribe to Fast Talk Labs for weekly science-backed episodes on cycling training, performance, physiology, and recovery.
