S3 Ep5: Rob Britton - How Pro Cyclists Eat

S3 Ep5: Rob Britton – How Pro Cyclists Eat
This week, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with pro cyclist Rob Britton. Rob’s been racing bikes professionally for over 10 years and it was fascinating to hear how he’s upgraded and adapted his nutrition strategies throughout his career.

S3 Ep3: Mark Gower - Creating Your Plan For Success

This week, we’re joined by Track cyclist and cyclocross athlete Mark Gower. Over the past year working with Mark, I’ve been incredibly impressed with how he’s able to race week in-week out for Precise Performance/One Resourcing race team, train nearly full time, whilst building a career in aviation and having family commitments.
We all have the same amount of time in a week, but Mark has the ability to extract as much value from each hour to ensure he progresses with each goal. Therefore, I aimed to answer the question on how he achieves this…for those who struggle with ‘fitting everything in’ – this is an absolute must listen!

S2 Ep12: The Periodised Life

You periodise your training. You periodise your nutrition. But do you periodise your life?
In this week’s episode of the pod, I highlight the importance of managing your overall work load across training, work, family…and life to ensure you can always remain in top gear and operate at the highest level.
With the correct energy management and life periodisation, you’ll avoid burnout and improve your longevity in the game.
We need to acknowledge and appreciate that everything is linked together and it’s very difficult to compartmentalise one stressor from another as it compounds onto the next, and the next, and the next.
This week, I share some thoughts and experiences on how to best approach this.
