(01:22:13) Improving Single Track Pacing


Tour de France week is here! In this episode, we break down shocking stats on the Tour’s insane calorie demands, and what changes in your body at low cadence vs. high cadence and which is best. We also cover how to actually train fatigue resistance (hint: you might be doing it wrong), and why your power drops on the flats even if you’re strong on climbs.

Plus, pro racer Hannah Otto shares an unfiltered look into her brutal Unbound Gravel experience, what it taught her about mental toughness, and the pacing secrets you need for big mountain bike races like the Leadville Trail 100 MTB and Park City Point to Point.
