As so many of these side quests do, this particular adventure started with an offhand remark on the Wheel Talk Podcast…This week we dive into Abby's self-inflicted five-month journey to beat a past version of herself up Mont Ventoux. Today, she sits down with the coaching duo who helped her through it - Lizzie and Phil Deignan.We will be back next week with more from the world of women's professional cycling. A written story is coming to Escape Collective later this week.
View This Week's Show NotesWe're back from one of the most bonkers trips of our lives. Juliet and I just finished hiking the Haute Route, the classic alpine traverse from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland, roughly 90 miles over 10 days with our daughters Georgia and Caroline. Caroline's senior trip. Years of mental infiltration paid off.Neither of us trained specifically for it. I spent the spring managing a torn ACL and calf. I skipped the surgery because we had this trip on the calendar, and I wasn't willing to miss it. Somewhere around day eight or nine on the trail, my knee actually started to feel better. That's the thing about movement as medicine: there's no substitute for the reps.The trip had other highlights. We've been telling Georgia since she was three that we would someday find wild Edelweiss in the Alps. On day four, crossing one of the high passes, she spotted a patch. She actually cried. It was one of the best moments of my life.We also dig into the news that Thorne, one of the most trusted names in supplement quality, has been acquired by Procter & Gamble for $3.8 billion, and why this deal raises real questions worth watching.Then there's the Tour de France Femme and Kasia Niewiadoma's historic climb on Mont Ventoux: 5.3 watts per kilo for 55 minutes. We talk about the coverage problem, the naming problem, and why this race deserves far more than it's currently getting.We close out with GLP-1 Watch: new data on cancer risk reduction, dementia, addiction disorders, and which grocery category is taking the biggest hit. Spoiler: it's chips.New episodes of The Ready State Podcast drop every Thursday.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat the Haute Route is and why it's one of the great alpine treks in the worldHow Kelly completed 10 days of hiking in Switzerland months after tearing his ACL and choosing not to have surgeryWhy going uphill is easy and the downhill will humble you, and what "tissue exposure" means for how you prepare for a big adventureThe story behind finding wild Edelweiss on a high alpine pass and why Georgia cried when she spotted itWhat Thorne's $3.8 billion acquisition by Procter & Gamble means for supplement quality, and what to actually watch forWhy Kasia Niewiadoma's 5.3 watts per kilo for 55 minutes on Mont Ventoux is one of the most extraordinary athletic performances in recent memoryWhat the current GLP-1 research shows about cancer risk, dementia, and addiction, and why all of it still needs to be taken with real cautionWhy where your GLP-1 is compounded matters and what the black market problem looks likeKey Highlights: (00:00) Welcome back to RECESS, and a recap of the hippo attack episode and puppet theater(01:30) Introducing the Haute Route: Chamonix to Zermatt, and how Caroline's senior trip idea came to be(02:22) The scale of the Swiss Alps: glaciers, wildflower valleys, and a moonscape where a glacier used to be(02:41) Meeting hikers at the mountain hut who ask "Have you been training for this?"(03:12) The bonkers 8-hour day: two 10,000-foot passes, extreme terrain, and extreme views(03:50) The $500 Edelweiss bounty, day four on the trail, and Georgia's emotional discovery(05:51) Fit but not prepared for the downhill: what tissue exposure means and why the kneecaps paid the price(06:07) Kelly's "sprain plus": tearing his ACL and calf in February and deciding to skip surgery for this trip(07:38) Working the plan: movement, swelling management, and a knee that improved over 10 days of hiking(09:45) The family dimension: hiking as a unit of four, bird launchers, and the mountain bike trike side trip(10:50) Thorne acquired by Procter & Gamble for $3.8 billion: what it means for supplement quality(12:12) Why NSF Certified for Sport matters and the precedent of P&G's 2012 New Chapter acquisition(14:28) Tour de France Femme: Kasia Niewiadoma's historic climb on Mont Ventoux(17:40) The coverage problem: Peacock picking up halfway, and why this race needs Phil Liggett on the mic(18:53) What 5.3 watts per kilo for 55 minutes actually means (and why you should try your local bike)(19:47) GLP-1 Watch: grocery data from 150,000 households, chips down 10%, and yogurt on the rise(24:18) GLP-1 and cancer: Penn Medicine study, breast cancer data, and why these are still observational studies(25:53) GLP-1 and dementia: 40–70% lower risk across large studies, and what the mechanisms might be(25:56) The caveats: observational data, socioeconomic skew, compounding quality, and the black market problem(26:32) GLP-1 and addiction: alcohol, cocaine, nicotine disorders, and rewiring the brain's reward center(28:20) What are we living for: Caroline's college move-in, the river trip, and whether Kelly needs an ACL for ski season

Plus, you'll get ad free listening, a weekly Applied show, and a community that argues better than the internet does!Show notesOn the show today, the physiology behind the best women's Grand Tour we can remember, and a doping ban that fits a pattern we have seen many times before.(00:01:00) The Tour de France Femmes was, we think, the best Grand Tour either of us has watched in years, and we explore the nine stages of unpredictable racing that had us intrigued, even if the record will show that Demi Vollering won four of them.(00:05:56) Kasia Niewiadoma's ride on Mont Ventoux, at somewhere between 5.3 and 5.6 W/kg for the climb, is arguably the greatest climbing performance in the history of women's cycling, and we place it against the published power duration curves to show just how far outside the 90th percentile it sits.(00:17:19) Niewiadoma also posted 9.9 W/kg for 86 seconds, and from that single Strava screenshot we work out her FTP and her W', the anaerobic "battery", which lets us answer the question everyone argued about, namely whether being blocked into that corner actually cost her time to rival Vollering. We think the answer is unequivocally yes, and the maths and the principle of pacing explains why.(00:25:50) Praise for Puck Pieterse, sympathy for Marlen Reusser and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, and a wonder about the 'mature' podium, and the prospect of a handover to the next generation in good time, just not 'our time'(00:41:41) The World U20 Championships, where a 17 year old ran 7:28 solo for 3000m, Tate Taylor doubled up in 9.94 and 19.83, and the ever-turning carousel of youth talent that is sometimes derailed by injury and sometimes deposed by the next young phenom(00:45:46) Jakob Ingebrigtsen returns and wins the European 5000m title in 13:16, off a slow race that played into his hands, and he explains, correctly, that a 5000m is not a test of speed but of how much speed you have left. He also promises he'll be "astonishingly a lot better" next time.(00:52:32) Jonah Koech gets a three year ban after an adverse passport finding. We explain how the biological passport actually works, why two suspicious samples means the values must have been wildly out of the norm, and why his 3.2% improvement should have invited scepticism long before the blood results did. Performance is not proof, but pattern recognition lives on, with this its latest illustration.(01:07:46) The WNBA has no eligibility policy, so two former NBA players have declared for the women's draft to prove the point. We discuss why choosing not to decide is itself a decision, how people are choosing to pretend a problem doesn't exist (or that it doesn't matter if it does), and contrast this with the WTA who have implemented screening for eligibility, and just gotten on with it(01:15:29) And finally, the origins of the steeplechase, which begins with two blokes, an Irish pub, a wager, and two church steeples. Plus a nutritionist on social media who watched 96 seconds and decided we had lost all credibility. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Na behoorlijk wat plottwists de laatste dagen, kwam zondag de Tour de France Femmes ten einde met een spectaculair slot in Nice. Nadat Katarzyna Niewiadoma op grootse wijze het geel pakte tijdens de koninginnenrit naar de Mont Ventoux, heroverde Demi Vollering de leiderstrui richting Nice om vervolgens in de slotetappe iedereen naar huis te rijden. Toch gingen de vragen na afloop niet allemaal over de eindzege, maar over een moment waarop Niewiadoma beweerde expres in de hekken te zijn gereden door Vollerings teamgenoot Célia Gery. Zat daar een kern van waarheid in of toonde de Poolse zich meer als slechte verliezer? We spraken met voormalig renster Roxane Knetemann. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

Mont Ventoux rarely disappoints, and Stage 7 was no exception. The first summit finish of this year's Tour de France Femmes delivered a thrilling battle between the race favourites, with the general classification turned on its head on the slopes of the Giant of Provence. After Demi Vollering's early acceleration reduced the lead group to just the main contenders, Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney seized her moment, attacking with 9km remaining. As Marlen Reusser and Vollering hesitated behind, the Canyon//SRAM rider steadily increased her advantage, holding her effort all the way to the summit to claim a famous stage victory. Behind her, the fight for every second continued to the line, leaving just 15 seconds separating the top two in the overall standings with two stages still to race. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan breakdown Stage 7 of the Tour de France Femmes 2026. _______________________________________________________________
Sandwiched between a brutal stage on Wednesday and Mont Ventoux on Friday, the sixth stage could have gone to an early breakaway, a group of gutsy riders who attacked early and stayed away, allowing the GC favorites a break. Instead, eight women, all with something to prove, made the day theirs. After a season of setbacks, one woman earned redemption, as Mont Ventoux looms in the distance. The sixth stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift saw Kim Le Court-Pienaar take an incredible victory ahead of Cédrine Kerbaol and Puck Pieterse. The win was one she had to fight for, and even though she had some bad luck, the race repaid her in kind. With audio diaries from Liane Lippert (Movistar), Alice Towers (EF Education-Oatly), Alison Jackson (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93), and a stage 7 preview from Sarah Gigante (AG Insurance-Soudal).
Atop the iconic Mont Ventoux, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift shattered. Favourites suffered and celebrated; all while the roadside party chanted and cheered. Today, Abby, Loren, and Anna stopped by the Cheer Squad to talk to some old friends, including Iris Slappendel, Alice Wood, and Matilda Raynolds. They also ran into the Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney cheer squad, who perhaps just had the best day of their lives.With audio diaries from Pfeiffer Georgi (Picnic PostNL), Marion Bunel (Visma-Lease a Bike), and Amanda Spratt (Lidl-Trek). Stage analysis for stage 8 by Georgie Howe and Gracie Elvin, and a big thank you to Pauline Ferrand-Prévot for the stage introduction. The race is far from over, and far from wrapped. With two stages remaining, can the yellow jersey change hands (again)?
L'étape reine du Tour de France a couronné Kasia Niewiadoma. La Polonaise, victorieuse du Tour 2024, a lâché Marlen Reusser et Demi Vollering sur les pentes du Mont Ventoux et fait coup double : étape et maillot jaune, à deux jours de l'arrivée à Nice. Les trois coureuses se trouvent dans un mouchoir de poche : 39 secondes. Du côté des Françaises, Cédrine Kerbaol a résisté et conserve sa place dans le top 10, Marion Bunel s'est accrochée et Pauline Ferrand-Prévot a explosé. Maria Azé et Pierre Thévenet, envoyés spéciaux RMC sur le Tour, et Camille Fahy, consultante cyclisme RMC, débriefent l'étape du jour dans l'"Intégrale Tour" avec Yohan Bredow.
Il a animé la course au maillot à pois pendant le mois de juillet : le coureur de la Soudal - Quick-Step Valentin Paret-Peintre reste le dernier vainqueur français au Mont Ventoux, en 2025. Celui qui a rendu dingue toute la France sur les pentes du "Mont Chauve" évoque ses souvenirs de cette victoire, la préparation pour la Vuelta, ce Tour de France femmes 2026 et son objectif principal : gagner sur les trois grands tours. Il est l'invité de "l'Intégrale Tour" de Yohan Bredow et Camille Fahy.
Niet Demi Vollering, niet Marlen Reusser, maar Kasia Niewiadoma staat na de Mont Ventoux in de gele trui. Terwijl er achter haar flink wordt gepokerd, rijdt de Poolse naar een schitterende ritzege. Als Vollering eindelijk versnelt, is het eigenlijk al te laat. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel bespreekt Niek Goedvolk met Roxane Knetemann en verslaggever Maarten Teunisse het rijden van Vollering. Heeft ze te veel gepokerd? Had ze meteen mee moeten springen met Niewiadoma? Of kon ze simpelweg niet beter? Dat laatste lijkt gezien haar snelle slotkilometer haast ondenkbaar, al speelde de wind vandaag ook een grote rol.

Stage 6 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift delivered a thrilling Classics-style battle, with relentless attacks and a late breakaway deciding the stage. After an early escape was reeled in, a select group featuring Cédrine Kerbaol, Puck Pieterse and Elisa Longo Borghini forged clear before Kim Le Court-Pienaar bridged across from the Yellow Jersey group. The Mauritian champion produced a powerful long-range sprint to claim her second Tour stage victory, while Longo Borghini climbed to fourth overall. Behind, the main GC favourites finished together, allowing Marlen Reusser to retain the Yellow Jersey ahead of the race's decisive showdown on Mont Ventoux.

Kim Le Court refuses to let her Tour de France Femmes slip away, producing an extraordinary comeback to win Stage 6 after a day where almost everything seemed to go against her.After being dropped, suffering a mechanical, burning matches to return to the peloton and then bridging across to the decisive break with Riejanne Markus, Le Court still had enough left to attack, chase again and somehow find one final gear in the sprint to beat Puck Pieterse and Cédrine Kerbaol.Tils, Verita and Sarah Gigante break down the countless sliding-door moments that made the victory possible, AG Insurance's complete commitment to Le Court, the sprint decisions that shaped the finish and Elisa Longo Borghini's puzzling tactics from the break.Then attention turns to the Queen Stage and the Tour de France Femmes debut of Mont Ventoux. With Marlen Reusser holding just 12 seconds over Demi Vollering, Kasia Niewiadoma lurking, brutal heat and crosswinds in the forecast, the race is perfectly poised for the Giant of Provence.Plus, Verita reports back after conquering L'Étape du Tour de France Femmes, riding much of the same course the professionals will face on Ventoux.The Domestiques Daily Tour de France Femmes is powered by Black Sheep and Join Cycling.Build your personalised cycling or running plan free for 30 days at join.cc/domestiques.Use code DOMESTIQUES for 20% off Black Sheep.

The Tour de France Femmes delivers a pure spring classic, with eight categorised climbs, relentless attacking and a brutal battle that tears the general classification apart.Demi Vollering finishes off a complete FDJ team performance to win the stage, while Marlen Reusser remains ice-cold under pressure and retains the yellow jersey by just 12 seconds. Kasia Niewiadoma reminds everyone why she can never be overlooked, taking third and moving onto the provisional podium.Behind them, the damage is enormous. Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Anna van der Breggen, Kim Le Court and Elisa Longo Borghini all lose ground as the race becomes a zombie march toward the finish. Tils, Verita and Sarah Gigante unpack FDJ's tactics, the decisive breakaway and the descending skills that separated the best riders in the race.The team also examines the shifting UAE leadership battle, Antonia Niedermaier and Isabella Holmgren's fight for white, the strange disappearance of neutral service bottles in extreme heat, and whether the GC contenders can recover before Mont Ventoux.Plus, Sarah explains exactly what she wants to hear through the radio during a time trial, and why too much encouragement can sometimes make things worse.The Domestiques Daily Tour de France Femmes is powered by Black Sheep and Join Cycling.

Tanken på att klättra i berg var länge avskyvärd. Men en roman av Jean-Jacques Rousseau gjorde i ett enda svep människan bergtagen. Dan Jönsson funderar på konsekvenserna av vårt mål att nå toppen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2018-03-20.När den amerikanske bergsbestigaren och författaren Mark Jenkins besteg Mount Everest våren 2012 passerade han fyra lik på vägen upp. I ett bisarrt reportage i National Geographic berättade han hur det på vissa partier var två timmars kö för att ta sig vidare, hur soporna låg i drivor längs leden upp till toppen och när han till slut nådde målet var där så trångt att han knappt hittade någon plats att stå. Inte precis vad man förväntar sig på världens tak kanske, men Mount Everest upplever några försommarveckor varje år en rusning som bara blir mer och mer intensiv, till följd av en expanderande exklusiv äventyrsturism där superrika globetrotters för upp till en miljon kronor kan köpa sig plats i en expedition, ofta utan att ha den rätta erfarenheten, träningen eller ens utrustningen. Affärerna hade en svacka under några år efter en jordbävning och en lavinkatastrof som krävde sexton personers liv, men numera är de uppe på rekordnivåer igen.Berg var alltså till sitt ursprung och väsen av ondo, därför också fula, och att självmant ta sig upp i dem sågs som både dubiöst och dumdristigtTrängseln, soporna och dödsoffren på världens högsta berg låter kanske som den perfekta kapitalistiska karikatyren av en naturlig mänsklig drift mot höga mål, förvrängd av växande ojämlikhet och statushets. Men idén att klättra upp på ett berg bara för sakens skull har en historia, och faktum är att den fram till för några hundra år sedan skulle ha verkat ganska obegriplig. För medeltidens bibelkunniga var det en känd sak att några berg inte existerade i Första Mosebokens geografi – man antog därför att de hade uppstått först efter syndafallet, när Herren i vredesmod beslöt sig för att knyckla till jordskorpan som straff för människornas olydnad. Berg var alltså till sitt ursprung och väsen av ondo, därför också fula, och att självmant ta sig upp i dem sågs som både dubiöst och dumdristigt. Synen på bergen som ett skönhetsvärde och på bergsvandringen som moraliskt stärkande är av sent datum, och kan faktiskt dateras rätt exakt – närmare bestämt till 1760, när Jean-Jacques Rousseau gav ut sin roman "Julie eller Den nya Heloïse".Det är i det tjugotredje brevet i denna väldiga korrespondensroman, som nästan över en natt gjorde Rousseau till kultförfattare bland Europas kulturella aristokrati, som den förälskade informatorn Saint-Preux beger sig upp bland alptopparna kring den lilla staden Sion i den schweiziska bergskantonen Valais. Till sin elev och älskade Julie, skild från honom av klasskrankor och hedersbegrepp lika branta och oöverstigliga som Matterhorn, författar han här vad som bör vara den moderna alpinismens urmanifest. Saint-Preux beskriver hur han under en lång dags vandring mot de högsta topparna till slut nått ovan molnen och där upplevt hur hans oroliga sinnesstämning liksom klarnat upp och lättat. ”Det verkar”, skriver han, ”som om när man höjer sig över människornas nivåer, man där också lämnade kvar alla låga och jordiska känslor. Som om när man närmar sig mera eteriska regioner, själen fick någon del av deras oföränderliga renhet.” Han beskriver känslan av att, som han uttrycker det, ”befinna sig i en alldeles ny värld”, hur ”hela skådespelet har över sig något magiskt, övernaturligt som tjusar både förnuft och sinnen. Man glömmer allt, man glömmer sig själv, man vet inte längre var man är.”en ingrodd och religiöst välgrundad orofobi, eller avsky för berg [...] förbyttes i romantisk dyrkan.Det enorma genomslaget för Rousseaus roman blev impulsen till de första strömmarna av alpin kulturturism. Idéhistorikern Björn Billing beskriver i sin koncisa men innehållsrika essä "Utsikt från en bergstopp" hur Rousseaus entusiastiska läsare med romanen som reseguide började vallfärda till trakterna kring Genèvesjön för att med egna ögon se platserna där berättelsen utspelar sig – något Rousseau själv för övrigt inte alls förstod poängen med. De himlastormande bergslandskapen i Valais blev ett självklart mål, men den plats som främst av alla lockade turisterna var en klippa ovanför Meillerie vid Genèvesjön där Saint-Preux i en laddad scen lite längre fram i berättelsen, sjuk av hopplös kärlek, står och känner suget från det oåterkalleliga: ”Klippan är brant, vattnet är djupt och jag är förtvivlad.”Björn Billing beskriver omsvängningen i bergsuppfattningen till följd av Rousseaus roman som en kulturell ”synvända”, när en ingrodd och religiöst välgrundad orofobi, eller avsky för berg, på ganska kort tid förbyttes i romantisk dyrkan. Visserligen har människor i alla tider fascinerats av bergens majestät och sett dem som hemvist för högre makter – grekerna med sitt Olympos till exempel, eller Bibelns Moses som på berget Sinai fick ta emot de tio budorden. Och visserligen gjorde diktaren Francesco Petrarca redan på 1300-talet historiens kanske första frivilliga bergsbestigning när han av ren nyfikenhet gick upp till toppen av det 1912 meter höga Mont Ventoux och stod där ”som förtrollad” som han skriver i ett brev. Det finns fler intressanta undantag, men de förblir just undantag. I det allmänna medvetandet stod bergen för den kaotiska och ofruktbara motsatsen till det goda kulturlandskapets välordnade liv. Att där bodde hemska drakar och demoner var vedertagen kunskap långt in på 1700-talet, och något som även Linné räknade med i sin naturhistoria.Med en träffande formulering kallar Billing Saint-Preux alpina vision i Julie för en ”profan bergspredikan” som förkunnar en ny tid, rentav en ny värld – och med den också en ny naturuppfattning där det vilda och otyglade inte längre ses som något ont och hotfullt utan istället som en öppning mot ”det sublima” - alltså den speciella svindel som för människans trubbiga sinnen framkallar en känslomässig aning om en högre, bortomliggande ordning. Men bergslandskapen blir också sinnebilden för en kulturkritik där civilisationens artificiella och tillrättalagda förljugenhet ställs i kontrast till den råa naturens kraftfulla, osentimentala sanning. Kort sagt, bergsbestigningen danar karaktären, eller som Billing sammanfattar det: ”Utsikt ger insikt, yttre höjd ger djup åt tanken.”Hundra år senare [...] ser vi alltså den absurda konsekvensen av samma alpina ideologi i de rika upplevelseturister som till varje pris kräver valuta för sina pengarFör Rousseaus eftervärld är ju det där självklarheter. Bergsbestigningen har helt enkelt blivit en av den västerländska kulturens starkaste metaforer, lika användbar inom konst och religion, som filosofi – och politik. När Vladimir Lenin till exempel efter det sovjetiska inbördeskriget skulle förklara idéerna bakom den så kallade nya ekonomiska politiken, skrev han en av sina sista artiklar, med titeln Om att bestiga ett högt berg – där han liknar revolutionärens svåra väg mot målet vid en bergsbestigningsexpedition, som efter att ha överraskats av dåligt väder tvingas vända tillbaka ner till baslägret och samla krafter för ett nytt försök. Hundra år senare, när den sortens expeditioner som han själv ledde åtminstone för det här kapitlet i historien verkar ha packat ihop och åkt hem, och glaciärernas vita vidder är på väg att smälta bort för gott, ser vi alltså den absurda konsekvensen av samma alpina ideologi i de rika upplevelseturister som till varje pris kräver valuta för sina pengar, uppenbart okänsliga för det faktum som får sägas vara alpinismens blinda fläck: att det från toppen bara finns en väg att ta sig vidare.
