Podcast by A1 Coaching
The A1 Coaching podcast is a must-listen for any cycling enthusiast. With a combination of training advice, bike talk, and interviews, there is something for everyone in this podcast. The longer form interviews are particularly insightful and provide actionable advice that listeners can apply to their own cycling journeys. Personally, I have even found myself relistening to some of these interviews because they are so valuable. Anthony and the team consistently deliver high-quality content that keeps me coming back for more.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the great guests and the wealth of advice they provide. Whether it's training tips, dietary information, or discussions on longevity, there is always something new and interesting to learn from these interviews. Additionally, Anthony's no-nonsense style adds a unique touch to the podcast and Sarah brings a newer rider's perspective that helps cater to a wider audience.
However, one potential downside of the podcast is its focus on road cycling. While it covers road cycling well, it would be great to see more content on other disciplines such as mountain biking or track cycling. This would help broaden the appeal of the podcast and cater to a wider range of cyclists.
Overall, The A1 Coaching podcast is a fantastic resource for cyclists looking for training advice, bike talk, and inspiration. With its great guests, informative interviews, and entertaining hosts, it has become a mainstay in my podcast rotation. I highly recommend giving it a listen if you're looking for valuable insights and motivation to improve your cycling game.
Cycling used to be about skill — race craft, resilience, knowing when to attack. Now? It's about looking good. Style has overtaken substance, and nowhere is that clearer than with Pas Normal Studios. In this episode, we dive into how the Copenhagen-based brand transformed high-end kit into a status symbol. It's not just clothing — it's a cultural signal. €300 bibs, curated café stops, matching socks and frame paint… Pas Normal didn't just sell apparel, they redefined what it means to “look like a cyclist.” But at what cost? We explore whether this shift elevated the sport — or hollowed it out. If you've ever felt underdressed at a group ride, this one's going to hit home.Surfshark - Online security starts with a VPN and I trust Surfshark.

What happens when a lifelong Cat 1 racer cuts training volume in half? For 12 years, I trained 12–15 hours weekly. Then life changed — and I dropped to 6. This episode breaks down exactly what happened: the watts lost, the kilos gained, and the reality behind the numbers. Using 3 years of TrainingPeaks data, I compare my fitness at both ends — and reflect on the science (Seiler, Rønnestad, Mujika) that predicted it all. This isn't about shortcuts. It's about understanding the trade-offs: performance vs sustainability, volume vs life. If you've ever wondered whether you can get fast on 6 hours a week — this is the honest, data-backed answer.

Netflix spent €8 million to bring cycling to a global audience — and got it completely wrong. In this episode, we unpack how Unchained misrepresented the Tour de France, damaged trust with riders, and failed to grasp the sport's unique culture of silence, strategy, and sacrifice. From Wout van Aert's “disturbing” portrayal to key moments cut from the final edit, we explore what happens when Hollywood storytelling clashes with cycling's unwritten code. Only 8 of 22 teams agreed to return for Season 2 — a clear signal that something broke. This is more than a bad documentary. It's a case study in how not to tell a story — and a reminder of what makes this sport sacred.Surfshark - Online security starts with a VPN and I trust Surfshark.

What happens when chasing performance drains the joy that once drove it? In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Malseed — former pro cyclist turned mindset advocate — for a powerful reflection on the hidden cost of high achievement. Shannon shares her journey from elite sport to inner rediscovery, challenging the idea that success must mean sacrifice. We explore the athlete mentality, burnout, subconscious patterns, and the endless pursuit of external validation. This conversation is about redefining success, reclaiming authenticity, and finding fulfillment not at the finish line, but in the everyday process of being true to yourself.

Every amateur cyclist falls into the same trap: chasing intensity instead of consistency. In this episode, I sit down with Christian Schrot, performance coach at Team Jayco AlUla, to explore one of endurance sport's most surprising truths — riding easy is what actually makes you faster. We unpack the science behind the 80/20 polarized training model, why zone discipline matters, and how even elite pros struggle with holding back. From common misconceptions to the training habits that really work, this conversation is a must for any cyclist who's ever asked, “Am I training hard enough?” Spoiler: if you're doing it right, most of your rides should feel almost too easy.

In 2017, Rapha was the gold standard of cycling cool — premium kit, boutique clubhouses, and a cult-like following. Today? Stores are closing, prices are slashed, and the brand is losing millions. In this episode, we break down the meteoric rise and stunning fall of Rapha, from its poetic beginnings to its sale to the Walmart heirs. What went wrong? Was it discount culture, over-expansion, or simply forgetting what made the brand special in the first place? This is more than a story about cycling apparel — it's a cautionary tale for any brand chasing scale. Whether you're a Rapha loyalist, a skeptic, or just into brand strategy, this one's a ride worth taking.To join our 7 day email full of science-backed knowledge on Strength Training — tailored for cyclists in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond go to www.roadmancycling.com/getstrongThe podcast wouldn't be possible without our amazing sponsors:Surfshark - Online security starts with a VPN and I trust Surfshark.

In this episode, he breaks down the full story: the gains, the weight, the sprint numbers, and the myths that got shattered along the way. Does creatine actually help cyclists?

Whether you're racing, training, or just riding for fun, this insight could change how you eat and ride forever.

In a world where every ride is tracked, every watt analyzed, and every metric scrutinized, are we losing something essential? Today, Anthony sits down with Michael Crawley—endurance researcher and author who lived and trained with elite Ethiopian runners—to explore a radical idea: that performance isn't just found in the numbers, but in how it feels.

Is road racing dead? This week, Anthony dives into the decline of traditional road racing—not just in Ireland, but across the UK and US too. We talk about what's changing, why gravel and fondos are booming, and whether road racing can bounce back. Plus, it's race season, and we're helping first-timers get dialed: from pre-race routines and what to pack, to warm-ups, nutrition, and how to avoid rookie mistakes. We also cover crit etiquette for stronger riders, sprinting out of corners (is there actually a benefit?), and why freewheeling on the front is a massive no-no.

Today Anthony chats with the ever inspiring Anthony O'Brien and they discuss the big question "How far can an amateur go by training like a pro?" It all starts with mentality—setting goals, keeping promises to yourself, and silencing doubt through hard work. Discipline isn't just about showing up; it's about staying consistent when no one's watching. Whether it's boxing, triathlon, or running a 2:22 marathon in Seville, the mindset carries over. Training through injury, embracing setbacks, and taking inspiration from Jocko's “Good” philosophy—resilience is key.Then there's lifestyle—diet, supplements, and the willpower to say no to ice cream. Every decision builds momentum. From gym sessions in lockdown to VO2 hill reps, the training load is real, but so is the reward. How do you stay motivated 24/7? You don't. You build habits, set clear goals, and trust the process. In the end, how close can you get? Closer than you think.Our S&C Plan - https://www.roadmancycling.com/strengthandconditioningIf you would like to join Anthony & Sarah and race the L'Etape by Tour de France event in Las Vegas go tohttps://lasvegas.letapebytourdefrance.com/ and use the following code to get a 20% discount at checkout! - Roadman20REAPCustom Carbon Composition Bikes made in the UK.
