BE an athlete

As a young rider, general fitness kept me feeling pretty good on long rides. But when I returned to 100-milers in my mid-forties, I discovered it wasn’t so easy! I tapped my personal trainer background to identify the exact strength, mobility, and cardiovascular fitness that endurance riders need to go the distance. Putting them into practice launched my game to a whole new level. Now, I’m sharing my Essential Endurance Rider Fitness program with you.
