  • Ep. 177 How to Run Your First 100 Miler with Henry Harris
    Nov 25 2024

    This episode is a great one, folks—I'm joined by my buddy Henry Harris, a guy who’s got a passion for reading, running, and the outdoors. We kicked things off by talking about his love for audiobooks, and then dove into Henry’s running journey, including his impressive second-place finish at the Bear 100 endurance race.

    His strategy for the race was solid—he paced himself smartly, took care of his body, and had an incredible crew of pacers like David Hedges and Barrett Bentley to help him through the tough stretches. Henry also opened up about his fueling strategy, the struggles with plantar fasciitis, and the importance of cooling strategies in the heat. Post-race, we talk recovery, mental toughness, and the value of human connection—there’s a lot to unpack here, and I think you’ll really enjoy hearing Henry’s approach to both running and life.

  • Ep. 176 Life in the Peloton: Behind the Scenes of Pro Cycling with Mitch Docker
    Nov 18 2024

    Ever wondered what it’s really like inside the world of professional cycling? In this episode, I sit down with Mitch Docker, former pro rider and host of the Life in the Peloton podcast, to hear about his new book, Life in the Peloton. Mitch shares fascinating insights on the importance of support networks in both cycling and life, his transition into journalism and podcasting, and his thoughts on evolving concussion protocols in the sport.

    Mitch co-authored the book with his friend and former directeur sportif, Tom Southam, and it’s a fantastic read that breaks down the sport’s inner workings, team dynamics, and the journey from the peloton to the media world. Whether you're racing, training, or just an avid fan, this conversation is packed with insights that will change how you see the sport. We also hear about his upcoming projects, including commentating the Vuelta and organizing the "Dirty Docker" event in Melbourne. If you're a fan of cycling, this episode offers great stories and valuable lessons from one of the sport’s best, and you’ll definitely want to tune in.
