EP 3.1 is actually a rewind from The Mettleset, and if you havenβt checked that out, you really should. Released a year ago, this EP is still very relevant for anyone who has ultra-cycling on the π§ . Maybe you want to be an ultra-cyclist? Maybe you are one already, or maybe youβre just curious to know how one can race distances 700 km to 7000 km +, all self supported. Well, todayβs episode aims to share a good overview of the sport with Niel Copeland, one of the worldβs most experienced ultra-cycling coaches. We chat getting started, training differences for women and men, the timeframe & considerations needed, training yourself mentally, race mgmt, the beauty in the experience, race selection and we touch upon nutrition. We only touch upon nutrition because EP 3.2 is live now on all things ultra-eating.
