Welcome to Strong Girl Talk, where we dive into the latest in sports science, performance, and well-being—all with a focus on women and girls in sport. This week Molly speaks to Kate Vernneau, the Director of Women’s Strategy with Zwift, indoor training made fun.

Pssst… love cycling? Shred Girls: Lindsay and the Curse of Gemini Lakes is available for pre-order now and hits shelves in paperback, audio and ebook form May 27!

Before we get into the episode, we chat about the weekly sport highlights. Your weekly women’s sports wrap up includes:

* Elise Cranny won the 10,000m at the Sound Running The Ten.

* Ayrna Sabalenka won the Miami Open.

* Mikaela Shiffin won her 101st World Cup race, her 63rd slalom world cup. Lindsey Vonn, out of retirement this year, was the first person over 40 to podium at a world cup.

* Lorena Wiebes won again this weekend, this time Gent-Wevelgem.

* March Madness continues and the Final Four gets underway as this episode comes out.

Molly and Kate talk about all things cycling, and women’s cycling continues to grow. It’s a good thing Sasha’s not part of this episode given how much she can fangirl over cycling. From the beginnings of both Zwift Academy and The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, extending to 9 days this summer, which we’re both so excited for (You too?!), this episode covers why it’s so fun to be a women’s sports fan these days.

It’s not a moment, it’s a movement. Because Everyone Watches Women’s Sports.
