Guest: Jeremy Zakis. A juvenile brown snake surprised commuters at Riverston station, causing a cyclist to flee in panic. However, a man wearing shorts and lacking safety gear calmly picked up the venomous snake and moved it, displaying professional handling skills despite his casual appearance. Zakis notes that brown snakes are currently very active and dangerous when coiled.

This week, James and Will are joined by Scottish ex-pro turned team manager, commentator and pundit, Brian Smith.Brian cut his teeth in the 1980s at the school of cycling hardknocks, ACBB – Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt – in Paris, whose alumni include Jacques Anquetil, Stephen Roche and Pippa York, before turning pro with the legendary British Banana team in 1991. Three successful seasons followed including his first British national road race title, which led to Brian catching the eye of the Motorola team bosses. He signed for the American outfit in 1994, and went on to race alongside Lance Armstrong, Andy Hampsten and Phil Anderson. Brian won his second British national road race title that same year, but as we discuss in our chat, despite such success he found himself disillusioned and on the outside of a sport he loved as cycling embroiled itself in its darkest doping years – something Brian wanted no part of. He hung up his racing wheels in 1996 but returned to the pro-peloton in 2011 as directeur sportif for Endura Racing, where he stayed as it evolved into MTN-Qhubeka then Dimension Data, before retiring in 2014.Today, Brian can be found with a microphone in hand as a commentator and pundit for Eurosport, and among other parts of that job, Brian discusses his love of commentating and watching the lesser-known Tour of Hellas, a five-stage race around Greece which this year takes place between 6th and 10th of May, so keep an eye out for that one.There are probably few people with as much experience across the last four decades of cycling as Brian, and certainly few people who talk so candidly about everything from being invited into 'the program' by Lance Armstrong, to having a snake thrown into his shower by Shane Sutton. So get the kettle, pin back your lugholes and listen to this one.Interview begins at 3.44------------------The Tour of Hellas in Greece is a five stage race taking place from 6th - 10th May 2026.

In this episode of the Talk Design podcast, host Adrian Ramsey welcomes 8-time US National Champion and international cyclist Eddie Huntsman to the Wellness Edit. At just 23 years old, Eddie is a cornerstone of the US National Team, currently training for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and looking ahead to Brisbane 2032.The conversation dives deep into the psychology of elite performance, the evolution of an athlete, and the radical discipline required to compete at the world-class level. Eddie shares his unique perspective on why "mastery" is a moving target and how his upbringing in Australia and California shaped his approach to the sport.Key Highlights include:The Mastery of Learning: Why Eddie believes you cannot master an evolving sport, but you can master the formula for learning and adapting to it.Chess on Wheels: An inside look at the Madison, a high-octane track event involving physical slings, tactical aggression, and "counting cards" at 60km/h.The "Team Eddie" Philosophy: The importance of a supportive ecosystem—including coaches, parents, and mentors—and why the "sun cannot see its own light" without external perspective.Radical Recovery: Eddie's "injured athlete" mindset for recovery, prioritizing immobilization and metabolic rest over high-tech gadgets.The Olympic Mindset: A candid discussion on the "selfish" commitment required for 2028, where training takes priority over social life, education, and secondary relationships.Whether you are an aspiring athlete, a parent of a young sportsperson, or someone interested in the mechanics of a high-performance mindset, this episode offers a masterclass in dedication and the pursuit of excellence.

Have you ever wondered how much the science behind fitness has changed over the years? AP found a book that dates back to 1979 called 'Inside the Cyclist' and it is the topic of this ParrotTalk. 'Inside the Cyclist' is a collection of articles from Velo News and features Ed Burke, who answers questions that 1979 athletes wrote in to ask. Murph & AP read some of these questions and provide both Ed's comments and also their lighthearted thoughts on each topic.

This week James (and Will at the beginning) is joined by Hunter Allen, co-founder of Training Peaks, long-time elite level cycling coach to pros and US national teams, and the man who literally wrote the book on power meters back when torque measurement was just a twinkle in an SRM engineer's eye. That book was, prosaically enough, called Training + Racing With A Power Meter, and it put Hunter at the pioneering frontier of what would become the gold standard in cycling metrics: watts.Last year Hunter was back with his new book Training + Competing With A Continuous Glucose Monitor, and in this episode we discuss why continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are set to become the new power meter and how they and the sports science involved are already behind the uptick in speeds in the pro peloton. In short, CGMs can help a rider and coach work out precisely when to fuel, and to what extent, for maximum performance, and that means Pogačar and co are breaking more records.Hunter also talks about how to understand training data, the relationship between heart rate and power, managing training loads and fatigue, and how to develop better nutrition strategies to ride faster. It's a get the kettle on kind of pod, plus maybe fetch a pen and paper, because Hunter knows his stuff and he goes pretty deep.Find out more about Training + Competing With A Continuous Glucose Monitor hereInterview begins at 9.59------------------This episode is brought to you by the Hammerhead Karoo GPS bike computer.

In this week's episode, Will and James are joined by David Millar, a man who needs no introduction, but just in case: David's career in cycling spans decorated rider (he was the first Brit to wear all three Grand Tour jerseys) to fallen hero (he admitted to, and was suspended for two years for doping in 2004) to risen phoenix (he returned to the pro peloton as an outspoken 'clean' rider and raced successfully until 2014) to writer, broadcaster and commentator (up until this summer he was 'the voice' of ITV cycling along with co-commentator Ned Boulting) to business owner (with clothing brand Chpt III) to brand director at Factor bikes (finally nothing more to write in brackets). Here, David chats about turning pro back in the 1990s and those difficult earlier years; the devastation of ITV losing its TV coverage and him his job; his new life at Factor bikes and the science behind Factor's new superbike, the Factor One; Factor parting ways with Israel-Premier Tech for political reasons; what it's like having your sister, Fran, as CEO of Rapha; whether he's duty-bound to ride the Rapha Festive 500; and his general and utter love for cycling.Merry Christmas, and thanks for listening for a whole year (or just reading this bit, possibly never having listened at all).Interview begins at 11.34This episode is brought to you by the Hammerhead Karoo GPS bike computer.

Former professional cyclist Jake Sitler joins The Steve Gruber Show to share his remarkable story of survival and advocacy. After being T-boned by an SUV while riding, Jake credits hemp products with helping him recover and reclaim his life. But his story isn't just about personal resilience; it's also about policy. Jake dives into the latest government spending bill, which, while reopening funding, quietly includes a new hemp ban that could jeopardize a multibillion-dollar, job-creating industry. From personal triumph to political consequences, Jake explains why this issue matters for entrepreneurs, farmers, and anyone invested in America's growing hemp economy.

This week ICRT's Tim Berge hops on his wheels. Tourists from around the world travel to Taiwan to explore its mountains, valleys and coastlines by bicycle. Viola van Onselen and Erik van Onselen-de Jong originally came to Taiwan to pursue higher education, but quickly got the cycling bug. To stay healthy and escape urban pressure, they began exploring the beauty and charms of Taiwan by bike. And their book “A Cyclist's Guide to Taiwan”, is the product of their adventures. The book is easy to understand, covers all of Taiwan, and includes breathtaking photos which chronicle their adventures. Get your copy of the book online, at onsgo.org/shop.

In this practical Ask Cindy Q and A, Ed Frawley tackles a serious safety concern many cyclists face: aggressive dogs chasing them while riding through countryside or residential areas, with some dogs being extremely large and threatening. The cyclist is looking for effective strategies beyond simply stopping, which isn't always safe with aggressive dogs. Cindy shares a creative solution from a long-distance cyclist friend who carries an extra bike helmet on a tether, swinging or throwing it at chasing dogs to create unexpected opposition—most dogs don't expect any resistance and often back down or remember the encounter next time. She explains that sometimes physical contact is necessary to make an impression and deter future chasing behavior. Cindy also recommends Leerburg's telescoping hiking stick with a built-in stun gun feature, noting that it's portable and often just the sound alone is enough to scare dogs away without needing physical contact. | Links mentioned: Hike N Strike - https://leerburg.com/hike-n-strike.php

Episode 201 is our October 2025 Instagram Q&A and we are discussing various topics in our fitness, training, and nutrition space.00:00:00 - Personal Updates00:13:09 - Do you think someone can still get jacked following the health and longevity plan that you and Jordan laid out?00:18:40 - Can you elaborate on the Beardsley and Jake theory on training each muscle at least 2x/week or else it'll atrophy within 2-3 days? Eg you must train iliac, lumbar and thoracic lat EACH within the 2-3 day period. 00:23:33 - Which region of the traps do you think is most responsible for a more muscular look and do you think it needs to be trained directly, or will indirect work (such as rows) suffice?00:28:13 - If I wanted to optimize muscle building, how much running or cycling is too much and may interfere with lower body hypertrophy? 00:33:52 - Are you still updating the Evolved blog? 00:35:22 - Do you think the hip abduction machine is the best way to train that function for hypertrophy? 00:37:49 - Do you still believe that in a deficit it is better to just do steps instead of proper cardio?00:43:37 - Should you do unilateral exercises whenever possible if you have time? Any benefit to doing bilateral?00:48:48 - 4 vs 5 days of training per week when weekly volume is equated? What do you think is the sweet spot for experienced lifters with decent strength? 00:50:53 - What is your current favourite exercise or physical activity, the thing you look forward to the most in your week?00:54:20 - Heels elevated squats - What kind of stance? LIke narrow slant board? Cyclist squat?00:55:47 - Can I do a trial of TRT just for a few weeks to see if I notice anything positive without ruining my natural production long term? 00:58:47 - What would be the minimum effective dose of cardio volume to not go backwards? Never been a big cardio guy, so just trying to be healthy. 01:00:55 - Do you have any direct experience or know anyone with experience with the Freak Athlete extension for quad/ham curl? If so, worth considering for the home gym? 01:02:54 - If you are natural, what would be the highest frequency of legs/glutes that you would do in a week (to recover adequately) 01:05:29 - How has the alternating lower/upper 3x/week been working for you? 01:06:46 - Is there such a thing as true weight loss resistance if tracking accurately? 01:10:54 - What's the bare min for daily fat intake while cutting? Different for lifestyle vs competitor? 01:15:10 - Is there any benefit to finding and staying at the top end of the maintenance range? 01:16:44 - Stress, sleep and water. How much of a difference do they actually make on body comp?
