sig op og strakte sine trætte muskler.En: Immediately, he sat up and stretched his tired muscles.Da: Det første, der ramte ham, var ånden af en kold Tuborg-grøn, der stadig hang i luften fra aftenen før.En: The first thing that hit him was the smell of a cold Tuborg beer, still lingering in the air from the night before.Da: Lars kiggede rundt i rummet, og blikket faldt på hans gamle cykel.En:

Since high school, he had loved making jokes and doing crazy challenges.Da: Så selvom han var blevet ældre, brændte hans indre stuntman stadig stærkt.En: So even though he had grown older, his inner

køleskabsdøren.En: He took a deep breath, grabbed the bottles, and closed the fridge door.Da: Han kiggede på ølflaskerne, løftede dem op i luften, og med et glimt i øjet sagde han, "Tillykke til

knew that no matter what, he would be ready for a new challenge tomorrow.Da: Det var sejren over konflikten, tilfredsstillelsen ved at have nået målet, og bekræftelsen af, at han kunne overvinde det, han troede var umuligt.En: It was the victory over the conflict, the satisfaction of reaching the goal, and the confirmation that he could overcome what he thought was impossible.Da: Den dag lærte

This is Episode 4! Today's episode gives a glimpse into the history of cycling in Dubai as I speak to the Race Director of the oldest mass participation cycling race in the United Arab Emirates, The Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge. I owe a lot to Dubai when it comes to cycling and this race was actually my very first ever. A race I did a week after buying my first bike, without a bike computer, clipped into for the second time ever! Now in its 14th year, I had the opportunity to speak with Stewart Howison, who has been there from the start. This year, race activities take place over 2 days. 24-25 February 2024 with the 92 km race - a UCI Gran Fondo World Series Qualifying Race- taking place on the Sunday, all starting and finishing at Expo City Dubai. In this episode we chat through:

EP 3.1 is actually a rewind from The Mettleset, and if you haven't checked that out, you really should. Released a year ago, this EP is still very relevant for anyone who has ultra-cycling on the

This is Part 2 of a 2 Part series and If you missed the first part, you may want to go check it out. I chatted with my coach Niel Copeland about all things ultra-cycling - Ultra Cycling 101 - but we saved perhaps the best, for this episode and that is ultra-eating or how to eat and fuel when riding your bike for a very very long time. As I mentioned in the intro to Part 1, this episode was released just about a year ago on my first podcast, The Mettleset. That means that some of the events that Niel and I have chatted about have passed, and spoiler alert, I did not finish last year's Race Around Rwanda. It wasn't fueling behind my decision to scratch in that race and if you're curious as to why I did, check out my DNF race report:

Today's guest is Juliet Elliott, the queen of storytelling on two wheels. Between her YouTube and Instagram, Juliet has a combined audience of over 225,000 followers, gained through sharing adventures and advice that is fun, accessible and with a dose of good humor. Juliet and I love a chat so I've actually divided this episode into two parts - both of which can be listened to as standalone episodes. In this, Part 1, we go into Julliet's year in review, we chat through setbacks, ultra cycling solo and in a pair and what's so special about bikepacking and ultracycling. We also chat through many of her adventures in 2023 including:

This is Part 2 of my chat with Cycling Storyteller, Juliet Elliott. Juliet Elliott is a friend of mine and also a widely followed cycling storyteller who shares adventures and advice on two wheels in a series of fun, accessible videos on her YouTube and Instagram account, with a combined audience of over 225,000 followers. She's gained such a following through sharing adventures and advice that is fun, accessible and with a dose of good humour. In this Episode, we talk through how Juliet came to be a cycling content creator which is really a story of how she came to be a cyclist. We chat through what she would be doing if she weren't sharing stories about bikes with the masses, how she deals with trolls (E-bike haters i'm looking at you) and what her followers may not know about her. Juliet also offers advice for anyone considering putting their story out there to the world, for fun or as a potential career choice. We finally talk through what's she's learned in 2023, New Year's resolutions and what destinations for cycling are on her wishlist. More info:

The Transcontinental (TCR) is an annual, self-supported ultra-cycling race that, as the name suggests, spans almost across the entire European continent. It is widely considered one of the toughest on the planet, testing rider's fitness, mental strength, planning, problem solving and ability to endure as they ride 4000km with approx 40,000m of climbing. So what type of person decides that they're going to take on the TCR without being a cyclist? Well, meet our guest for EP 1, Dr Sarah Ruggins who took part in the last edition. In our chat we learn that her story goes way beyond the TCR and way back into childhood when she was an elite runner with a bright athletic future ahead of her. Listen and you'll learn more about Sarah's strength - and ability to endure - and how it didn't start with the TCR. More Info

Tomorrow morning, a group of intrepid cyclists will head out from Portobello High School, escorting Gordon Barclay as he sets out on a 500 mile ride to Portobello Road in London. The aim is to raise money for research into Motor Neurone Disease (MND). It all began on his 50th birthday. A friend from his days at Porty High, Ian Henderson - now a councillor in London, told him the tragic story of a woman called Clarrie who not only had lost people in the Grenfell Tower Fire but had just been diagnosed with MND. They decided to raise money, in part to help her and in part to help Doddie Weir’s MND Charity, My Name’5 Doddie. This morning, they met in the Kings Manor Hotel in Portobello which is where David Calder caught up with them.https://www.portobellotoportobello.co.uk/about.htmlhttps://www.myname5doddie.co.uk/

Firstly, Happy New Year! The first episode of 2016 is also the first one about a cycling challenge. And not just any challenge. Cycling around the world! Two friends, Will Frazer and Johan du Plessis, who met at university, each pursuing their careers in London and further afield decided in October 2013 that they were going to cycle around the world together. Not long after, in April 2014 they set off from the UK. 23,500 kilometers, 234 days and 21 countries later they arrived in Miami (USA), their finish line. Covering an average of 100 kilometers per day, this wasn’t for the faint hearted. We talk about their motivations, the highlights and low points, the kindness of strangers as well as what they leant and the advice they would give to others thinking about embarking on their own adventures. Laughs, crashes, broken bikes and lightning strikes all feature. Two fascinating characters who have a real taste for adventure, it’s an interesting discussion and will hopefully wet your appetite and provide inspiration for 2016!

Welcome to another edition of Ask Coach Parry. Our question today was submitted by Stuart Miles. This is what he said, “I ran Two Oceans in under 6 hours in 2013 but was plagued with hamstring injuries during the training and injured myself (foot tendon) shortly after, and could not run the Comrades Marathon - probably due to having increased mileage too fast. I have not run much this year (10-20k's per week max.) but have been building up leg strength and fitness through spinning/cycling and rode the Momentum 947 Cycle Challenge 2014. My question is whether and how I can now build up my running training towards the Comrades Marathon 2015. Obviously my main concern is to avoid injury and build up mileage as slow as possible. I have run 4 marathons now with a PB of 3h50 for reference.” Read More · Training Programs · www.CoachParry.com
