Vegan Athletic Vegan Athletic Podcast

What do surgery, banana smoothies and ultra distance cycling have in common? Claire Stevens drops it all in this episode. She's an all rounder cyclist but I think it’s safe to brand her currently as an ultra distance cyclists, a vegan one at that, who earlier this year competed in the Indian Pacific wheel race where she covered over 4000kms across Australia in just 14 days! I’ve known of Claire since last year as she is a proud vegan athletic customer but there is a whole lot more to Claire than meets the eye which I had no idea about… We recorded this podcast over the phone so please excuse the lower quality sound. I do prefer to sit face to face with everyone but if I did that then I’d be missing out on interviewing so many amazing vegans from around the world. Anyways, here’s to where a positive mental attitude can take you.. which is something Claire truly possesses and you’re about to learn all about.

We are back in the lab with Dr Steve as he explains the key factors that lead to an athlete becoming overtrained. It’s a common issue that athletes can run into and we felt it was an important topic to break apart so that you can avoid or at least know how to assess overtraining syndrome.

There are a lot of good tips that both Steve and myself go over in this episode which could potentially help you take your fitness to a whole new level and avoid the set backs that overtraining can bring about.

Hello and welcome to the Vegan Athletic Podcast!

It's been a long time in the making but I've finally got around to turning this show into a reality. Welcome to my world, welcome to the friends and family that you are going to meet here and welcome to what I hope can become a recognised and reputable resource for vegan athletes around the world.
