    Derek Teel’s Story: From Building Dialed Health to Rebuilding Himself

    What does it actually take to build a stronger, more resilient cyclist? Derek Teel, founder of Dialed Health, joins Zone2Speak to break down strength training for cyclists, from what actually matters in the gym to how much strength work you really need when you're balancing training, racing, work, and life. Derek has coached everyone from everyday cyclists to elite ultra-endurance athletes, including Lael Wilcox. We talk about strength training for long-distance riders, the biggest mistakes cyclists make, mobility, core strength, training throughout the season, and what separates elite athletes from the rest. But this conversation goes much deeper than training. Two years ago, Derek suffered a life-changing accident that left him wondering if he would ever walk again. Today, he's back on the bike and has completed a double Everesting challenge. We talk about what happened, rebuilding his body and identity, the mental side of recovery, and how the experience changed the way he thinks about coaching, training, and success. And don't miss the Fire Chat at the end, a fast, fun round of strength, recovery, cycling and training questions that gets Derek's unfiltered takes on everything from squats vs. deadlifts to trainer ride vs gym session. If you want to ride stronger, recover better, and keep riding for years to come, this one is for you. --- Follow Derek and Dialed Health  Derek: https://www.instagram.com/dialedhealth/  Dialed Health: https://www.dialedhealth.com/  --- 🎁 Support Zone2Speak by shopping with these Discounts for Zone2Speak Listeners!

    Taylor Nichols Rode 4,000 Miles Across America to See His 101-Year-Old Father

    Taylor Nichols set off from San Francisco with one destination in mind: his 101-year-old father's home in East Lansing, Michigan. What followed was a journey powered by curiosity, community, and the simple idea that sometimes the slowest way is the most meaningful. In this episode of Zone2Speak, Taylor shares what it's really like to cross a country one campsite at a time. We talk about the logistics, the kindness of strangers, the mental challenges of spending weeks on the bike, and why traveling at human speed allows you to experience places (and people) in a completely different way. From unexpected friendships to the emotions of finally arriving at his father's doorstep, this conversation is a reminder that the best adventures aren't always about racing. Sometimes, they're simply about showing up. Whether you're a bikepacker, an ultra-distance rider, or someone dreaming of your first big adventure, this episode is full of inspiration, perspective, and stories that will stay with you long after the ride is over. --- Follow Taylor Intagram → https://www.instagram.com/Taylornichols.Bikelife Bike Talking → https://www.instagram.com/Biketalking Website → https://biketalk.org/ Acting → https://demoreel.com/taylor-nichols  --- 🎁 Discounts for Zone2Speak Listeners!

    The Cycling Upgrade Everyone Is Talking About | Erik deBrun Explains

    When cyclists think about performance upgrades, they usually think about lighter wheels, faster tires, or more watts. Comfort rarely makes the list. But improving comfort actually helps you ride farther, feel fresher, and even perform better. In this second conversation with Erik deBrun, co-founder of Redshift Sports, we move beyond the philosophy and dive into the products that have become a favorite among gravel racers, endurance cyclists, commuters, and bikepackers around the world. We break down the ShockStop stem and seatpost in simple terms, answering the questions riders ask most: How do they actually work? Who are they designed for? Should you start with the stem or the seatpost? How much maintenance do they require? Erik also shares the engineering process behind Redshift's products, the funny stories behind the prototypes, some of the funniest ways they've tested new ideas, and what the future of cycling comfort looks like. If you've ever wondered whether a suspension stem or seatpost is just another cycling gimmick, or one of the smartest upgrades you can make, this episode is for you. --- Follow Erik RedShift Sports → https://www.instagram.com/redshiftsports/  Website → https://linkin.bio/redshiftsports/  --- 🎁 Discounts for Zone2Speak Listeners!

    Why Maddy Nutt Chose to Go Longer & Life Beyond the Bike

    When Maddy Nutt first joined Zone2Speak, we talked about gravel racing and building a career in endurance cycling. Fast forward to today, and she's become one of the most exciting names in ultra-distance racing. After winning Traka 560 and The Rift 330, second on Unbound XL, and racing across Brazil and the Atacama Desert in Chile, Maddy has discovered a new passion for pushing beyond traditional race distances and learning what she's truly capable of. In this episode, we discuss how winning Traka changed her confidence, what she's learned from racing outside Europe, and how focusing on training and racing fewer races has become important to her. Away from the bike, we also chat about her love of cooking, life after getting engaged, balancing racing with life off the bike, and what's next as she continues to chase bigger challenges around the world. Whether you're curious about ultra-distance racing or simply looking for inspiration to step outside your comfort zone, this conversation is full of honest reflections, lessons learned, and plenty of laughs. --- Follow Maddy Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/maddy_nutty/  Unbound XL Film → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjI6QHtHa60  --- 🎁 Discounts for Zone2Speak Listeners!

    What Makes a Great Athlete-Coach Relationship? Max Karginov & Dr. Artur Barsumyan

    What really happens behind every great race performance? In this episode, I'm joined by gravel racer Max Karginov and his coach, Dr. Artur Barsumyan, to explore the relationship that exists long before race day. From adapting training plans when life gets in the way to navigating tough conversations, building trust, and balancing data with intuition, we pull back the curtain on what coaching really looks like. Using their build-up to Traka 360 as a starting point, we discuss why perfect training blocks are rare, how coaches decide what matters when sessions are missed, and what athletes are really thinking when things don't go according to plan.  Whether you work with a coach, coach others yourself, or simply want to become a smarter cyclist, this episode offers an honest look at the partnership behind performance and why adaptation often matters more than perfection. --- Follow Max and Dr. Artur Max → https://www.instagram.com/sovsemmaxim/  Dr. Artur → https://www.instagram.com/arturbarsumyan/  Coaching → https://www.enjoythehard.com/  --- 🎁 Discounts for Zone2Speak Listeners!

    DaySaver: Small Tool. Big Adventure with Peter Eisenegger

    Small Tool. Big Adventure with founder Peter Eisenegger What if one of the most important pieces of cycling equipment isn't your bike... but the tiny tool you almost forget you're carrying? This week on Zone2Speak, Juliana sits down with Peter Eisenegger, the founder of DaySaver, to talk about the idea that inspired one of the most innovative multi-tools in cycling and why being prepared can completely change the way we experience riding. Peter shares how a passion for engineering, adventure, and simplicity led to the creation of DaySaver, a tool designed to disappear into your bike until the moment you need it most. We explore what makes great design so difficult, and how innovation happens when you refuse to accept that "good enough" is good enough. Beyond the products, this is a conversation about freedom and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing you're ready for whatever the road or trail throws at you. Peter also shares his own relationship with cycling. Whether you're racing gravel, heading out on a weekend adventure, or crossing continents by bike, this episode is a reminder that freedom often comes from being prepared, and that sometimes the simplest ideas have the greatest impact. --- Follow DaySaver Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/daysaver.fun/  Learn more & Shop → https://daysaver.fun/pages/combinations  --- 🎁 Discounts for Zone2Speak Listeners!

    Why Laura & Ted King Are Leaving Vermont for Bentonville

    Ted & Laura King: Family, Gravel & the Big Move to Bentonville This week on Zone2Speak, Juliana sits down with Ted and Laura King to talk about the next chapter for their family: leaving Vermont behind and starting fresh in Bentonville. But this conversation goes far beyond a change of address. We talk about building a life around bikes, balancing racing with parenthood, growing a family while staying connected to the cycling community, and how both of them have evolved through the incredible rise of gravel cycling. Ted reflects on life after the WorldTour, Unbound, and the sport's transformation over the past decade, while Laura shares how becoming a mother, athlete, and community builder has reshaped her relationship with cycling. Of course, we couldn't resist putting them through a couples Fire Chat: who's more competitive, who packs more snacks, and who is most likely to suggest another crazy adventure? A fun, honest conversation about bikes, family, adventure, and embracing change. --- Follow Ted and Laura King  Laura → https://www.instagram.com/lauracameronking More on Laura → https://www.instagram.com/lauracameronking Ted → https://www.instagram.com/iamtedking More on Ted → https://direct.me/iamtedking/  --- 🎁 Discounts for Zone2Speak Listeners!

    Danni Shrosbree: Fast, Funny & Unapologetically Herself

    What happens when one of gravel racing's fastest riders is also one of its funniest voices?
