All these year of mutual work put into the coach:a All these year of mutual work put into the coach:athlete relationship just a small part of the team behind a solid all-around athlete & great dude!

Ripping with @watt_hackney since he was a scrawny teenager racing XC to now posting podiums in U23 enduros! It’s not a quick trip, but successes surface when you set a trajectory & do the small the well day in and day out!

Is there even a downside to edge-finding? Worse Is there even a downside to edge-finding? 

Worse case you blow up and see where the edge is. 

Best case you exceed your expectations and the edge you thought existed; now doesn’t! 

Coaching & performance is more that about physical performance, but also strongly rooted in psychological presence. I always say where the mind is focused the body will follow!

Are hardtails dead? Or are the lines of capability Are hardtails dead? Or are the lines of capability blurring at this point?! I believe in the principle “run what you brung!” Won & podiumed several gravel races on my hardtail & podiumed in both enduro & xc at nationals on the same bike. Invest in yourself, have fun, don’t take everything so serious unless you’re at the top of the sport in which you get paid. Most of us don’t and pay dearly to enjoy this sport!

Excited to announce coaching sponsor powered by @t Excited to announce coaching sponsor powered by @trainingpeaks for @madgravel #hemigravel p/b @laufcycling & off-road festival coming in hot Memorial Day weekend. 

I’m passionate about this event because it’s a venue & area I’ve raced, podiumed & trained for over a decade as well as all the offerings from gravel events, XC mtb, runs, kids programming & most of all it memorializes the life of Craig “The Hemi” Henwood. 

Head on over to link in bio for several dynamic (not static set it and forget it) training plans I’m launching specifically for this event that includes direct coach Q&A as well discounts on individual or group coaching plans if you want to rally your posse and tackle this one together!
