This year's Unbound was humbling. Mud, thunder storms, and mechanicals galore plagued the racers and culled the pro field. To recap the carnage, Payson is joined by Danni Shrosbree, who battled multiple crises to grab a top 10 and secure a wildcard position in the Grand Prix. They discuss their top 5 “What the f*ck” moments from the race, their 5 silver linings, and the 5 most painful parts of their bodies when they crossed the finish line. Plus, we hear from listeners who participated in the race, and Payson gives an overview of the Grand Prix points standings.  Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

We put some cinder blocks under the head of our bed (for science!) before this great episode. A weird study just came out finding that head-up sleeping may increase red blood cell totals. We talk about what it means and what it doesn't mean. Excuse us while we launch a cinderblock start-up.We also discussed a breakthrough in gene editing for cholesterol, and what that could mean for the future. The world is going to be so different in 50 years! Maybe by then, David can use CRISPR to be able to pronounce science words. And this one was full of fun topics! Other topics: our training log discussions, iron levels in athletes, breaking news on heat training from Unbound 200, a science debate on fatigue resistance terminology, and a study on glucose v. fructose. Plus, we answer questions on heat training in the car, clean sport for age group athletes, marathon v. ultra training, and health uncertainty.You're going to learn a lot about what Megan would do for 40 grams of carbs.

We took the mobile studio down to Lewisville, Texas, to sit down with local legends Carlos and Lisa Uranga at the brand-new Full Gas Cycling Fit Studio. Before we dive into the black magic of bike fitting, Brad and Kevin debrief the absolute mudfest at Unbound 2024. We break down Keegan Swenson's F1-style pit stops, the utter dominance of the Specialized Crux, and the momentum building behind Scott's winning 32-inch prototype in the XL field.Then, we get down to the nuts and bolts of how a proper bike fit can give you free watts, fix that nagging lower back pain, and keep you smiling on those ultra-endurance pushes. Carlos and Lisa break down why buying a bike before getting fit is a massive gamble—especially in the era of expensive, integrated cockpits. Whether you are building up a brand-new MOG, tweaking a trusty Fargo, or stubbornly mashing a single-speed, this episode is packed with fit philosophy that will change how you look at your rig.In this episode, we cover:The Unbound 2024 Fallout: Mud, marginal gains, and why a good team dynamic is just as important as tire clearance.The 32-Inch Wheel Revolution: Will it become the new standard for ultra-endurance and bikepacking?The Pre-Purchase Fit: Why you should get mapped on a fit bike before dropping $10k on a rig with an integrated cockpit.Short Crank Science: The mechanical advantage of dropping down to 160mm or 165mm cranks to open up your hip angle and improve aerodynamics.Solving the "Hot Foot": Why standard wide shoes (we're looking at you, Shimano) might be failing you, and how surface area, socks, and custom insoles make or break a 100-mile ride.Direct-to-Consumer Risks: The pros and cons of buying Chinese carbon frames like X-Lab or Quick Pro without a proper geometry consultation.Links & Resources:Full Gas Cycling Fit Studio: fullgasfitstudio.comFind Carlos & Lisa Urrenga's studio off 121 in Lewisville, TX for your next pre-purchase mapping or fit follow-up.0:00 New Location Intro00:22 Meet Full Gas Fit Studio01:31 Unbound Tech Talk 32s05:27 Fit Implications of 32s08:54 Unbound Weather Recap11:11 Wheel Swap Drama14:12 Crux Bike vs Talent16:14 Fit Basics Stack Reach21:57 Buy Fit Before Bike27:28 Integrated Cockpit Headaches34:18 Hot Feet Troubleshooting39:49 Fitting Riders on Flats40:58 Flats Versus Clips41:47 Leg Length Shims42:40 Short Crank Setup44:27 Q Factor Explained45:10 Pedal Options Today47:04 Fit Across Bike Types50:02 Goals Drive Fit51:35 Common Pain Triggers52:50 How Often Refit55:53 Injuries And Compensation57:41 Tools And Assessments59:47 Free Watts For All01:01:14 Modern MTB Geometry01:02:44 Droppers And Setback01:05:24 Hip Angle Blood Flow01:08:08 Watching Pros Critically01:09:52 Three Contact Points01:11:55 Ultra Endurance Fits01:14:16 Pre Fit Before Buying01:17:34 Partnering With Shops01:20:14 Fit Included On 10K Bikes01:20:38 Custom Spec Bikes01:21:05 Booking a Fit01:21:57 Four Hour Fit Day01:23:30 When MOG Won't Fit01:24:38 Testing Cockpits Fast01:26:00 Fit Bike vs Your Bike01:27:19 Pricing and Transfers01:28:24 Why Fits Matter01:30:48 Follow Ups and Fees01:33:54 Crank Length Debate01:37:07 Short Cranks Stories01:44:45 Trends and Geometry01:46:08 DTC Brands and LBS01:50:03 Wrong Bike Problem01:51:32 Wrap Up and Contact

We dive into the controversial Scott prototype at Unbound, argue over what makes the perfect gravel bike, and reveal the top picks from our new Road Bike Buyer's Guide. Last week Josh missed the pod, but this week it's Logan Jones-Wilkins' turn. He is currently on the ground in Emporia, Kansas for Unbound 2026, but his Starlink connection failed. That leaves host Mike Levy, Lisa Charlebois, and Josh Ross to hold down the fort. Without Logan to set the record straight, the crew dives into the newly released Specialized Crux. Things quickly get heated as Charlebois and Ross defend nimble gravel bikes with 40mm tires, while Levy argues we all need slacker front ends and suspension. Plus, Levy shares his newfound love for the Garmin 1040 Solar, which leads to a shocking confession from Lisa about how she listens to music on ultra-rides. We also analyze the massive 32-inch wheels Cam Jones and Robin Gemperle are racing on their Scott prototypes at Unbound, and finally, Josh breaks down his testing methodology and top picks for the 2026 Road Bike Buyer's Guide.

In this episode, CII General Counsel Jeff Mahoney interviews Lucian Bebchuk, the James Barr Ames Professor of Law, Economics, and Finance, and Director of the Program on Corporate Governance at Harvard Law School and Kobi Kastiel, Professor of Law at Tel Aviv University. Professors Bebchuk and Kastiel are the co-authors of a recently issued research article, forthcoming in the Texas Law Review, entitled the “Controllers Unbound,” which analyzes how the relaxation of constraints on controlling shareholders at public companies incorporated in Delaware is expected to affect investors and the economy.  The article identifies risks for both public investors and the broader economy that may raise concern for those interested in investor protection and economic performance.

If you've ever wondered whether your endurance base could carry you into gravel or mountain bike racing — or whether your FTP is really the thing holding you back — this episode is a timely reality check. Dave Schell is the founder of Kaizen Endurance, based in Boulder, Colorado, and has spent 15 years coaching cyclists and endurance athletes through some of the most demanding events on the calendar — Unbound 200, Leadville, ultra-distance gravel and mountain bike. Before that, he spent seven years at Training Peaks as coach education manager, so he understands both the science and the real-world application better than most. We talk about why FTP is overrated as a race predictor, why skill and technique will give you more free speed than another training block, how to actually prepare your body for eight to ten hours in the saddle, the mental game of ultra-distance events, and why consistency remains the most unsexy and most powerful tool any athlete has. There's a lot in here that applies well beyond gravel.   5 KEY POINTS FTP is overrated for long events — after eight hours everyone regresses to the same sustainable pace. Durability and fat oxidation decide the result. Skill delivers free speed — technique improvements will outperform another fitness block for most athletes, most of the time. Race your race bike — training on the road and racing gravel leaves your body unprepared for the physical demands, regardless of fitness level. Recovery is where adaptation happens — most athletes need permission to rest, not encouragement to go harder. Consistency is the only secret — the work never changes, you just keep doing it week after week. 3 TAKEAWAYS Sign up for something that scares you — if there's no real possibility of failure, you'll wing it. The fear is what gets you out the door. Context beats data — RPE and athlete feedback tell you more than power numbers alone. Data without context is just noise. Extreme moderation wins — train at the right load, not the highest load. The athletes who stay consistent are the ones who progress. KILLER QUOTE

It's the episode all the bad guys want! Let's take it back to 1985! Come back to Texas! Alright, alright, we're done. But on this week's episode legendary Bowling For Soup frontman Jaret Reddick stops by the podcast to promote the BFS 32nd Birthday Bash on June 5, 2026! Joe and Jaret get into a conversation about BFS' career since the pandemic ended, what the birthday bash means to them, and how to continue to evolve as a band all these years later. Enjoy! About Bowling For Soup Pop Punk legends Bowling For Soup are throwing a birthday party - and everyone's invited! Celebrate 32 years of pop-punk, power chords, and zero apologies as Bowling For Soup brings the hits to The Backyard for a full-throttle anniversary show. Would absolutely love for you to chat with vocalist Jaret Reddick ahead of this event!  Expect wall-to-wall singalongs, throwback anthems, and the kind of chaotic fun only BFS can deliver — from "1985" to "Girl All the Bad Guys Want," plus plenty of surprises fit for a birthday blowout. Warming up the crowd is Van Full of Nuns, cranking out high-energy pop-punk classics to start the party right. Cold beer, loud guitars, and a crowd that knows every word. This isn't just a concert, it's a birthday party 32 years in the making. Formed in Wichita Falls, TX in 1994 and later relocating to Denton, TX, Bowling For Soup spent years grinding it out in vans, playing to anyone who would listen. Then in 2000, the UK took a liking to "The Bitch Song", and things took off from there. Over the years, they've delivered massive crowd-pleasers like "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" (GRAMMY-nominated in 2003), "1985," "Punk Rock 101," and "High School Never Ends". They even became a part of pop culture history with the theme songs for Jimmy Neutron and Phineas and Ferb. Renowned for their fun, interactive, and unpredictable live shows, Bowling For Soup aren't just a band you listen to—they're a band you experience. Nobody leaves a Bowling For Soup show without a huge smile on their face. Their fans span multiple generations, with OGs who grew up on the band's music now bringing their kids—who know every word to every song. That's because BFS have become ingrained in pop culture, from hit songs to movie soundtracks and TV themes. Whether playing to 3000 or 50,000 people, their onstage chemistry, fan engagement, and comedic charm make every show feel personal. With their legendary live performances, ongoing new music, and active social media presence, Bowling For Soup continue to prove that pop punk is alive, well, and a hell of a good time. In early 2025, longtime guitarist Chris Burney retired due to health concerns, but Jaret Reddick (vocals/guitar), Gary Wiseman (drums), and Rob Felicetti (bass) have carried on, insisting, "You can't replace a legend."

Dan Hughes is a certified Unbound legend, having won the very first edition way back in 2006 and another three times for good measure. He's seen the race go from 34 people in a hotel parking lot in Emporia to the most prestigious gravel race in the world. An Emporia local, he now works for Life Time as a Content Specialist and has already spent hours doing recon in the Flint Hills. In other words, there is no better person to talk to about the course. Payson sits down with Dan this week for a detailed breakdown of this year's route. For the 20th anniversary of the event, the organisers decided to make this one extra special, incorporating new roads and some old favourites. They discuss weather, water crossings, trains, a new feed zone for the pros, and much more. But first, Dan provides some backstory on the race that has become the focal point of the gravel calendar. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

Welcome to Shabbat Unbound, the world's longest Friday night Sabbath service, stretching over eight episodes. Instead of rushing through all the Friday night Shabbat prayers in one sitting, like we might in a classical synagogue environment, we're taking our time diving deep into one prayer each episode through song study and sacred conversation. It's the most original and traditional way to engage in the transition into Shabbat, taking each prayer as its own world with its own Torah to teach us. Miriam Terlinchamp, Lex Rofeberg and an incredible group of musicians invite you to discover what happens when Shabbat slows down. The first episode focuses on Yedid Nefesh.

With Unbound on next week, and the Gralloch on last weekend, it felt timely to talk about going further on gravel. For this, Escape's tech and industry reporter, Suvi Loponen, joins Dave Rome. Also joining this week is special guest (and occasional Escape contributor) Kevin ‘Benky' Benkenstein, a familiar face in the ultra world. There's also talk of whether the trend in wide gravel rims is a good direction. And of course, there's plenty more. Just a quick note that Kevin did have some internet issues, so we apologise for the occasional delay in the recording. Members of Escape Collective get the full episode (and no ads!), where mechanic Colin Williams joins Dave to answer technical questions. Time stamps:  00:01:31 - Suvi's time at the Gralloch 00:10:48 - How to get comfortable when going far on gravel 00:17:13 - New Specialized and Canyon spotted at the Gralloch 00:18:29 - What benefits the pros doesn't always benefit us 00:20:33 - Unbound is coming 00:35:07 - New Enve gravel wheels  00:41:49 - Is wider really better, or is this just a trend? 00:45:55 - Niner bikes goes on pause 00:49:00 - Ask a Wrench (member-only feed)  00:50:30 - How long does a bag of wax last?  00:55:15 - Running a road cassette with mountain bike derailleurs  00:59:30 - Building a tool to stress relieve a wheel  1:06:04 - Does suspension need servicing after storage?

With the Calgary marathon and Unbound 200 coming up, we (Alex and Meredith) are both in full on taper mode. Tapering is one of the most effective ways to get the most out of your training leading into a race but it doesn't happen without some mental and sometimes physical difficulty. This episode covers the science of tapering and how it works in practice. And in the spirit of mentally challenging situations, we tell the funny and emotionally fraught stories of Meredith's recent experience with scammers.

Stefan en Laurens gaan verder en natuurlijk is Thomas er ook weer bij. Hoogste tijd om de rit van gisteren na te bespreken. En de conclusie is unaniem. Ongezien. Tegelijkertijd is de conclusie dat er toch nog een renner is die het rapper kan dan Ganna. En dat die niet meedeed. Over Thijmen Arensman en zijn podium- en winstkansen. Over het succesvolle UAE. En ook heel even over het Sonier Duval van weleer. En hoe zat het ook alweer met de Unbound-inschrijving van Thomas? Je hoort het allemaal in weer een nieuwe aflevering van de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

Der Besenwagen Gravel ist diese Woche im Reisemodus. Das Armaturenbrett ist mit Sanifair Coupons tapeziert und die beiden Fahrer übernehmen abwechselnd das Lenkrad. Auf dem Beifahrersitz studiert Paul die meteorologischen Begebenheiten des US-Bundesstaates Kansas und murmelt irgendwas von Erdnussbutter, dabei haben die zwei doch gerade erst an einer Raststätte pausiert. Wie ein Asket verpasst Paul sich vor Unbound den letzten Feinschliff und greift auch ohne Renovierungsarbeiten häufig zum Maleranzug. Währenddessen lebt Simon am Lac d'Annecy wie Gott in Frankreich und hat seine Ernährungspyramide vollständig auf Blätterteiggebäck umgestellt. Die beiden diskutieren das Statement des Traka-Veranstalters, die vergangenen UCI Gravelrennen mit prominenter Besetzung und Simon sammelt ab sofort Life Hacks damit wenigstens die Zuhörenden aus seinen letzten zwei gescheiterten Rennen etwas lernen.

This week, James and Will are joined by ex-road pro turned gravel ace, Rob Britton. Born in Saskatchewan in Canada in 1984, Rob turned pro in 2010 with American team Bissell Pro Cycling and for the next 12 seasons raced at Continental level, arguably enjoying his best years with Rally Cycling (not that Raleigh, although he did race for that Raleigh in 2013), where he won the Tour of Utah, his second Tour of Gila in New Mexico and the Canadian National Time-Trial title. Given such strong showings in such hot, long and multi-day races, Rob was a safe bet when he – like lots of his road colleagues – moved into gravel. At first riding as a privateer – sponsored with a bit of kit but essentially riding team-less – Rob finished 6th in his first big gravel race, Unbound, in 2022, then the following year won Badlands – all 800km and 16,000 vertical metres of it. 2023 saw an incredible result at Traka, where he finished second behind fellow ex-road pro Pete Stetina, however arguably his best result so far came when the then 40-year-old beat Lachlan Morton at Unbound XL, finishing the 578km course at an astonishing average speed of 32.4kmh, smashing the course record by 12 minutes in the process.Such rides have seen Rob become part of the OVRLND adventure team, with backing from Easton Cycling, Castelli and Factor bikes, who's radical aero suspension gravel bike, the Sarana, Rob rode at this year's Traka 560.Whatever bike Rob rides he manages to make gruelling long-distance look easy, but as we chat about in this episode, his journey in cycling has been anything but, fraught with the difficulties of racing for smaller teams, the US's ever dwindling race calendar, and having to reinvent himself as a gravel racer, from canvassing for sponsors to looking after his own bikes. We caught up with Rob in Italy ahead of racing at The Hills Gravel Race in Treviso in March.Chat begins at 6.54-----------------This episode is brought to you by the Hammerhead Karoo GPS bike computer.

Christie pulls back the curtain on her four coaching pillars — Catholic faith, neuroscience, inner healing, and identity in Christ — and shares the personal journey behind each one. Nearly three decades sober, she walks through why she built her coaching approach the way she did, what she wishes she'd known sooner, and why she believes this framework works. If you've ever felt like something was missing from your sobriety journey, this episode is for you.Resources mentioned: Encounter School of Ministry, Be Healed by Dr. Bob Schuchts, Unbound by Neal Lozano, John 10:10Drop us a Question or Comment

Buddy does things differently. You can't miss the guy, as he is always rocking his bright red drop bar Trek bike with giant fat tires on it, hitting every bike race on the scene.

This week on the show Kathryn welcomes back professional cyclist and coach Hannah Otto. Last fall after finishing in a tie for 7th p[lace overall in the Life Time Grand Prix, Hannah went to the Big Island of Hawai'i to attempt a Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Mauna Kea climb. This was not Hannah's first time attempting an FKT, and she talks about what drives her to take on these epic endurance events as well as what she loves most about racing no one but herself. While riding 55 miles straight up hill wouldn't necessarily be everyone's idea of fun, Hannah details how she finds joy in these attempts, and how she adapts when things start to get difficult. Hannah is competing in the Life Time Grand Prix again in 2026. She talks through a few of her best tips leading into the last few weeks before Unbound, and how to get the most out of your day there.Watch Hannah recap of her FKT attempt on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ7SrrqEUXM&t=316sFollow Hannah on Instagram @thehannahotto

You know the feeling: you promised yourself you'd do better, be more patient, more present, more faithful. And then you didn't. Romans 7 is Paul at his most raw, naming the civil war every honest person recognizes inside themselves. In this sermon, Steve McKenzie walks through why the struggle isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's actually evidence that something has gone right. If you've ever felt exhausted by trying harder, this one is for you.

When was the last time you allowed yourself to truly be curious? What if, instead of rushing to pick a side, we asked more questions to better understand our neighbor? These are just a few of the questions Joe and author Britney Winn Lee discuss on today's episode of the podcast. Britney wrote a fabulous book entitled: "Sacred Curiosity: Wondering Our Way Toward Wholeness". In it and in this episode, she shares insights and learnings about what a world might look like if we all leaned in more with curiosity instead of rushing to pass judgement. It's a fantastic discussion, enjoy! About Briney Winn Lee Britney Winn Lee is an author, nonprofit professional, and seminarian who writes to make room. Living in Louisiana with her creative husband and big-hearted son, Lee works bivocationally as the Grants Outreach Coordinator for the United Methodist Foundation while also publishing numerous books, including The Boy with Big, Big Feelings, Rally: Communal Prayers for Lovers of Jesus and Justice, and Good Night, Body: Finding Calm from Head to Toe. With a BA in religious studies and a master's degree in nonprofit administration, Lee has worked for over a decade in faith- and justice-based, creative community-building.   About 'Sacred Curiosity' Curiosity slows us down, tunes us in for transformation, pushes past shame, activates awe, and rewrites with hope. What if our most accessible resource for healing and transformation is ready and waiting to be harnessed? When everything feels gray and hopeless, curiosity emerges as an unexpected path back to color and life. Sacred Curiosity explores how the simple practice of remaining open to wonder can become a powerful force for personal and communal renewal.   Make sure to check out the Dtalkspodcast.com website!

In this episode of The Forgotten Podcast, host Jami Cave sits down with Jonathan Brush, CEO of Unbound and a foster and adoptive dad of eight, to discuss how to help young adults—especially those not pursuing a college degree—successfully transition into adulthood and thrive. The conversation addresses the unique challenges facing children from the foster care community, such as trauma and learning gaps, by focusing on resilience, practical career opportunities in a questions-based economy, and the necessity of high expectations paired with endless patience. Jonathan reframes success as "thriving" and offers guidance on understanding the "creation of value" in the workplace and the irreplaceable power of community.   About the Guest Jonathan Brush is the President and CEO of Unbound. As a first-generation homeschool graduate and a foster and adoptive dad of eight, he is passionate about preparing young adults for life and has spoken on the subject for over a decade.   In This Episode Defining success as “thriving” (living a meaningful, important life) rather than fame, fortune, or power. Exploring non-college career options in business (marketing, sales, technology/AI) and the trades (welding, plumbing, electrician). The shift from an "answers-based" paradigm to a "questions-based" paradigm in the modern job market, emphasizing the ability to quickly and effectively master complicated information (QE MCI). Why the inherent resilience and survival skills of foster children are valuable assets in the current market. Setting the “high expectation” that young people can thrive, combined with “infinite patience” to help them achieve it. Understanding work as the “creation of value” by showing up, working hard, treating others well, and “thinking like an owner”. How to cultivate natural curiosity and the ability to ask better questions by looking for “the game being played underneath the game”. The critical role of community in driving careers and the willingness to open your home despite imperfections.   Resources + Links Learn more about The Forgotten Initiative Learn more about what at TFI Advocate does
