    We Recorded A Podcast Cycling up Alpe D’Huez - La Marmotte // 177KM, 5000M+

    We recorded this podcast live on Alpe d'Huez, one of the most famous climbs in cycling, riding it in 40°C heat the day before the 2026 Marmotte Grand Fondo. Honest, unfiltered and to be honest probably a bit delirious from the heat 😅 Ed Laverack joins me — and we discuss his journey from football and the Beijing Olympics to a rejected junior worlds place, then a pro contract two months later. We get into pacing a 7-9 hour event, fuelling in extreme heat, why more training can send you backwards and the pressure of chasing validation on social media.

    Colonel to CEO to Cyclist: Redefining Peak Performance at 63 with Peter Sharpe

    At 63, Peter Sharp is riding stronger than ever.13 kilos lighter. 40% more power. Fitter than when he was in the Army. But this isn’t just another transformation story, it’s a masterclass in what happens when discipline, belief and intelligent training collide. Peter spent 20 years as a Colonel in the British Army before leading major energy companies as CEO. He’s commanded troops, rebuilt organisations, and survived a helicopter crash that the BBC mistakenly announced as fatal. Now, he’s applying that same leadership and structure to endurance cycling — and proving that progress has no age limit.In this conversation, we dig into: 🚴 Why peak performance doesn’t belong to the young — and how Peter is producing his best power numbers in his 60s. ⚙️ The science of sustainable progression — how structured intensity and recovery build a stronger, more efficient athlete over decades. 🥗 The nutrition mistake most riders make — and how strategic fueling transformed his weight, recovery and energy on the bike. 🧠 What true mental toughness looks like — lessons from surviving a helicopter crash and leading through war, applied to endurance sport. 💡 How belief, reflection, and structure outperform motivation — the real psychology of consistent progress.If you’re a cyclist who values structure, data, and purpose, this episode will challenge how you think about age, adaptation and human performance.
