Hi, it’s me.

Should you bike or strength train first? This is a common question I hear from bikers who want to incorporate strength training into their routine, mainly because I think they are concerned that the strength work may impact their ability to ride and vice versa. The goal here is to do what is best for you and your schedule and bandwidth.

Give this episode a listen to learn what to look for and what to do in order to make BOTH happen.

Protein is an essential building block for recovery, but all too often I see active individuals eating way less than they should. Listen to this episode to learn about the ways you can get more protein in, simply and easily, as well as some answers to common questions I get about protein.

In this episode, I talk about the top signs and symptoms that you are under-fueling. Being aware of these red flags can help you recognize it and make sure you are adequately fueling in order to prevent it from becoming a chronic issue.

Listen to this episode to make sure you are fueling effectively – and not under-fueling – for your goals and performance.

In this episode, I sit down with Mia DePaula, the founder of the Women’s MTB Network. We talk (and laugh a LOT) about what got her into mountain biking, and what inspires her every day to help other women pursue the sport of mountain biking with greater ease. Listen to this episode to learn how the Women’s MTB Network can help other women get into the sport of mountain biking, with access to gear reviews, rides, coaches, and more.

Adjusting your training around your menstrual cycle is a hot topic right now. But how valid is it? Does it truly make a difference? That’s what I want to explore in this episode!

Hormones can impact how you feel, but how valid are those feelings and how much do they truly impact your performance?

This episode is geared mostly towards folks looking at body weight because they’re seeking fat loss, but it’s applicable to everyone! I see my athletes and even myself freak out a bit over scale weight fluctuations even though they’re feeling better and feeling a difference in themselves in some capacity. The scale plays tricks on the mind!

In this episode, I talk about other progress metrics you can focus on besides the number on the scale, especially if the scale can be triggering for you.

How do you maintain strength while biking? I get it, I know the struggle can be real to balance strength training and biking this time of year and in the weeks to come. A common thing I hear often this time of year as biking miles start to ramp up is that “My legs are sore so I should just stop strength training now.”

In this episode, I talk about training volume and how you can make adjustments to your training depending on how much you’re biking.
