Your Biggest Mountain Bike Fitness Challenges Solved Downtime - The Mountain Bike Podcast
-
- Wilderness
Today, I'm joined by Ben Plenge from the Strength Factory and we're diving headfirst into the world of mountain bike fitness, tackling some of the most pressing questions from you, the listeners. From battling arm pump to fine-tuning your nutrition and hydration strategies, we leave no stone unturned.
Join us as we explore topics ranging from race-day approaches to maintaining optimal shoulder health, and even how to tailor training for the younger riders out there. Plus, we'll be delving into the realm of supplements, helping you find the must-haves and avoid wasting money.
Whether you're a seasoned rider or just starting out, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical tips to help you conquer the trails with confidence. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode on mountain bike fitness with Ben Plenge.
To save money on Strength Factory programmes, you can use the code DOWNTIME30 which is valid until 21st April 2024.
The code will give you 30% off your first two months (after the free trial) of the Complete MTB Programme for trail riders and enduro racers. Or 30% off the Over 40s MTB Programme (lifetime access after purchase).
You can sign up to Ben's mailing list, MTB Momentum, for your weekly dose of MTB training and fitness and subscribe to his YouTube channel here.
The book that Ben mentioned for great advice on Women's fitness is ROAR by Dr Stacy Sims, which you'll find here.
