Podcasts about XC

"I think it's a great point with writing. You know early on you realize like putting pen to paper or starting to type early on was a massive achievement. There were huge gains, and now you're still grinding to figure out like 'I don't know how to end this chapter. How do I not know how to end a chapter? I've been writing for 20 years. What's wrong with me?' And you realize like this is the gig. This is part of the fun, though. It's also part of the grind, which is why if you asked a runner their their most fun runs, they're usually their hardest runs, and it's the same thing with any other passion," says Coach Chris Bennett, author of This is About Running. This is Not About Running.It's Coach Chris Bennett! He is the Nike Running Global Head Coach and now he's the author of This is About Running. This is Not About Running.: Lessons for Between and Beyond the Start and Finish Line. It's published by Dey St.If you're looking for workouts and training plans and pace charts and Zone 2 up the wazoo, this is NOT the book for you. But if you're looking for a 220-page metaphor for being a better writer, a better person, and yes, maybe even a better runner, then you're going to love this book. I read it twice. The chapters are, by and large, lean and range from confidence to doubt to hope and play and regrets. Maybe this podcast is about writing and not about writing.A little more about Coach Bennett, who is something of a real-life Ted Lasso. Prior to working with Nike, he was a high school history teacher who helped coach one of the most successful running programs in the U.S. He attended the Univ. of North Carolina where he captained the XC and Track teams. After college, he spent five years on the Olympic Development Nike Farm Team out of Palo Alto, CA. He used to live in Oregon, but moved back to his native New Jersey.In this episode, we cover a lot of ground including: Why longform content is not dead How he went from working in finance to Nike How he cultivated his coaching philosophy Confidence vs. Arrogance Vulnerability Reckoning with and the fear of success The power of just focusing on yourself Self-sabotage And how running helped his writingI'd pair this episode Ep. 419 with Maggie Gigandet and her Atavist story about an ultrarunning couple and Ep. 525 with Mary Cain and her memoir of abuse at Nike called This is Not About Running.

With XC bikes gaining popularity, there is a sea of similar-looking offerings from a bunch of brands — with a wider range of performance attributes than first meets the eye. So today, Blister reviewers Xan Marshland and Simon Stewart dig into the broader XC bike category and weigh in on why they think there's commonality in XC bike design; their thoughts on XC geometry; and whether having baked-in Trail bike versatility is a must-have. Plus things to consider when buying one, and their predictions on where the category is heading.

Au Vietnam, près de 70 000 tonnes de déchets ménagers sont produites chaque jour, un volume appelé à augmenter dans un pays en pleine croissance. Alors que le tri à la source reste peu développé, une grande partie de ces déchets est enfouie ou incinérée. Dans cet écosystème, les « đồng nát », les récupérateurs de matériaux autonomes, jouent un rôle essentiel. Le secteur informel collecte plus de 30% des plastiques recyclables du pays. Indispensables au système, ces travailleurs exercent pourtant le plus souvent sans contrat ni véritable protection sociale. De notre correspondant à Hanoï À moto, à vélo ou à pied, les collecteurs s'activent pour racheter aux habitants ou récupérer dans les poubelles le plastique, le carton et la ferraille. Masque intégral sur le visage, gants remontés sur les manches de sa chemise à motifs fleuris, Phuong, 40 ans, tire une benne montée sur deux roues. Originaire d'une zone rurale, elle travaille à son compte depuis 20 ans. « Je travaille entre huit et dix heures par jour. Je collecte des objets et des matériaux usagés afin qu'ils soient recyclés, puis je les revends à des dépôts qui les achètent au poids. Je gagne environ sept à huit millions de dôngs par mois [250 euros] », déclare-t-elle.  Faute de pension ou de revenus suffisants, de nombreuses personnes âgées participent aussi à ce système de collecte informel. Huyên, 78 ans, arpente les rues du centre-ville, le dos scié par deux sacs débordant de plastique et de métaux en tout genre. « Cela me permet de gagner quelques sous, même si ce n'est vraiment pas grand-chose.

Kris Holub is one of the most versatile pilots in the American free-flight community — an accomplished acro competitor, XC pilot, and SIV/acro instructor who has spent the last four years running clinics out of Oludeniz, Turkey. Gavin sat down with Kris in person during a weather day at the US Nationals in Chelan this June to talk about his extraordinary winter season in Bariloche, Argentina, where he and his friend Marcos Rosenkjer explored one of the most underrated and unknown and seriously awesome XC destinations in the world — and capped it off with a 345km convergence flight into the Patagonian desert.

Abrimos el podcast con la gran noticia de la aprobación por parte del Gobierno de la nueva FP de mecánico de bicicletas; concretamente, el Curso de Especialización de Formación Profesional de Grado Medio en Montaje Integral y Mantenimiento de Bicicletas y Vehículos de Mobilidad Personal. Una titulación oficial de 690 horas que egulará por fin la formación de los profesionales mecánicos en España, cubriendo tanto la mecánica convencional como la creciente demanda en bicicletas eléctricas y de carga. Este anuncio se ha encuadrado dentro de la presentación de los 31,3 millones de euros que el Gobierno ha destinado a modernizar la FP y aprovechamos el podcast para analizar el impacto que puede tener en nuestra industria. Por cierto que recordamos cómo AMBE lleva años luchando muchos años por lograr una titulación homologada para nuestro sector y cómo llevan desde 2021 trabajando junto al FP Maristak de Durango para sentar la base de lo que ahora se ha logrado. En cuanto a las novedades de producto, Canyon ha sido protagonista absoluto esta semana con la nueva Lux Trail, una bici enfocada al trail más pedaleador y rutero o, como ellos mismos dicen, al concepto downcountry. En MTB también han presentado la nueva Exceed CFR y la Exceed CFR Gravel. Con la misma base de su cuadro Exceed, el cuadro rígido para MTB, ofrecen una XC al uso con una orientación rutera y menos competitiva o una “Monster Gravel” para las carreras de ultradistancia. Siguiendo con las novedades de la marca alemana, también ha presentado la nueva Speedmax, la 6ª generación de su bici de triatlón que aumenta su capacidad de carga, mejora su aerodinámica y pese a todo ello logra ser más ligera. Otra de las novedades es que BOSCH, con una actualización (la 1.36) de su aplicación, ya ha puesto a disposición de los usuarios la posibilidad de personalizar el Extended Boost y la funcionalidad Drivetrain Tensioner. Con esta actualización, BOSCH hace realidad las novedades que presentó en mayo. Además, te recomendamos algunos de los contenidos de interés que hemos hecho estos días. Este episodio ha sido gracias a Kintoa All-Mountain Race, una experiencia de mountain bike brutal, limitada a 150 participantes, en el Pirineo navarro cuya primera edición tendrá lugar los días 12 y 13 de septiembre en uno de los hayedos más espectaculares de Europa, el Bosque de Quinto Real. Una carrera por etapas de estilo All-Mountain puro, con tramos cronometrados tanto de subida como de bajada por senderos naturales increíbles.

In this episode of Just Ride, Rob Warner and Eliot Jackson sit down with Christopher Blevins to reflect on a historic season that saw him become the first American in 34 years to win the UCI Cross-country Overall World Cup title. Christopher shares how years of patience, persistence, and trusting the process finally came together at the highest level.The conversation explores Christopher's BMX roots, the mindset that helped him reach the top of cross-country racing, and why meditation, staying present, and focusing on the process matter more than chasing results. They also dive into bike setup, racing psychology, the future of XC, and why mountain biking needs more personality and storytelling.Christopher also discusses the growth of cross-country racing in the United States, his creative project Still Spoke, his ambitions heading toward the Olympics, and what excites him most about the future of mountain biking.

The Gnar Gnomies and Brethren went on an adventure in Western North Carolina. Day one was taking on the classic Tsali Trail system and day two was Fire Mountain in Cherokee, NC. Spoiler alert, the trails were awesome each in their own special, and unique ways. Tsali giving us some fast XC riding with epic views and Fire Mtn the Gnar enduro style riding. This podcast was recorded at Pete in our groups campground, Rose Creek between the Tsali and Fire Mountain days. We got to hear from most of the fellas in the group, and just a fun casual roundtable on a rad dude trip. Hope you enjoy!

The big 32-inch wheels are coming. They've already rolled through multi-stage mountain bike races, XC World Cups, gravel competitions and DH runs. For some, they provoke eye-rolls as the bike industry pursues yet another standard whether you want it or not. But you'll see more of them soon. Geoff Kabush, mountain bike legend, underbiking advocate and long-time gear-head, has seen all this before. He started mountain biking on 26-inch wheels and experienced the rise (and growing pains) of 29ers. With 32s, he's already been experimenting. In May 2025, he rode a custom-built hardtail with 32”-wheels near Fox's office in North Carolina to explore bike geometry on the big hoops. He's also worked with Sam Whittingham of Naked Bicycles based on B.C.'s Quadra Island, where Whittingham made a 32-inch-wheel gravel bike that Kabush is riding. This episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast features a look at the nuances of the new wheel size. Kabush talks about how geometry is evolving. “Butt clearance,” the room a rider's rear end needs when their weight is back over the rear wheel, comes up. He also reveals how he can feel a bit of guilt when pushing test equipment to failure, especially with an emerging technology in which spares are in short supply. And Kabush has practical tire tips, too. Have a listen.

In episode 151 of Shiftless, the hosts return to Dusty Roads Lounge/bike shop/bar and discuss a weekend riding Nicko's Salsa Spearfish 120/120 demo bike, with Deore Di2 and Fox suspension, finding it surprisingly comfortable and capable despite past skepticism about full-suspension bikes; they compare it to other “marathon XC/downcountry” options and note practical features like stable geometry and three bottle mounts. They briefly cover early Tour de France stages, including a new team time trial timing format, time-trial helmet aesthetics, Pogačar's move into yellow after stage results and bonuses, and expectations for a climber-heavy route. Conversation shifts to FAM's upcoming Sagamore Spirits whiskey dinner, a Coros Dura bike computer first-impressions review (solar, long battery life, app-driven limitations, limited customization, navigation performance), COROS arm heart-rate monitors versus chest straps, and extensive e-bike news about DJI/Avinox motors, high-watt gearbox systems, proprietary integration, and the evolving market. They close with local demo-day observations and a call to ride.00:00 Back at Dusty Roads00:50 Spearfish Demo Impressions03:38 Knees Pedals and Setup07:17 Tour de France Talk10:30 Sponsor Dinner Plug11:05 Tour Highlights and Trends13:39 Catching Up and Riding Plans15:20 Coros Dura First Look18:25 Navigation Screens and Limits25:28 Heart Rate Monitor Debate27:39 Ebike Arms Race News31:40 Motor Standards and Firmware37:20 Power Wars and Ebike Racing39:46 Tuning Assist Modes40:58 Battery Drain Tradeoffs41:53 Motocross Speed Skills44:28 Fear and Helmet Mindset46:39 Aventon Motor Lineup48:23 Spearfish Versus Rivals53:57 Di2 Shifting Impressions56:55 Spearfish Builds and Suspension01:00:33 Growtac Blip Levers01:01:49 Salsa and 32 Inch Wheels01:10:09 North Shore Demo Day Recap01:15:34 Wrap Up Ride More

On this episode of The Ride Companion, we're joined by Matt "Cippy" Cipes from Marin Bikes. Cippy is Marin's Category Manager for performance mountain bikes, which means he plays a huge role in shaping the brand's full suspension bikes, e-bikes, spec choices, geometry, suspension feel, pricing, development timelines and overall ride quality. Recorded at Marin Bikes HQ in California, this episode dives into the history of Marin County as one of the birthplaces of mountain biking, the origins of Marin's 'Made For Fun' ethos, how a mountain bike goes from idea to production and why developing an e-bike is far more complicated than simply adding a motor and battery. Cippy also gives an honest take on the current e-bike power arms race, why Marin isn't rushing to chase huge motor numbers, what brands should really be focusing on and how ride quality still matters more than spec-sheet bragging rights. We also get into 32" wheels, XC's comeback, the future of analogue mountain bikes, the new Marin TAM, the development of the Alpine Trail E, why Marin looks to moto for certain design ideas, and what kind of rider feedback is actually useful when creating a new bike. Enjoy this deep dive into Marin Bikes, product development, mountain bike history and the future of MTB!

Sam Shaw isn't your average FKT setter. The Kiwi rider has raced XC, gravel, and Enduro over the years (he was on the podium at XCO nationals just this year), but since getting married and starting a family, he's worked full-time off the bike as an ecologist and carpenter. Last year, he set the fastest known time between Auckland and Wellington, beating Lachlan Morton's record. Earlier this month, he set the FKT on the Great Tracks Traverse, a 240-mile route that covers New Zealand's Paparoa Track, Old Ghost Road, and Heaphy Track, which Payson tackled in 2024. Sam caught up with Payson during his lunch break from building a roof to talk about how he took on the route, including training while commuting, riding a bike he received just hours before setting off, having to plan around conservation laws that put part of the route off limits at night, and fueling. Head to NordVPN.com/WithPace for 4 months off their two-year plan. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

XC racing has evolved fast. Technical tracks, aggressive riding styles, modern bikes and a new generation bringing personality back into the sport. Cannondale Factory riders Luca Martin and Charlie Aldridge join the podcast to talk racing, training, gravity riding and life behind the scenes of World Cup XC. Their fun, aggressive approach to racing has even caught the attention of Monster Energy, with both riders becoming new signings for the iconic brand as XC continues to evolve into one of the most exciting disciplines in mountain biking. From flat pedals and e-bikes to nearly missing race starts and accidentally brushing teeth with denture glue… this one goes everywhere.  

Are full-blown aero gravel bikes all they're cracked up to be? Dave and Ronan share some strong thoughts on why this may be the wrong path, or at least, why it's still early days for these being the faster choice. For those in the workshop, Dave shares the importance of good lighting and some of his favourite hand-held options for seeing better. Alex Hunt then jumps on to talk about XC tech from the opening round of World Cup racing, including why the conditions caused so many dropped chains. Of course, members of Escape Collective get Ask a Wrench, this week with guru Colin Williams. Dave and Colin answer a handful of questions, but a chunk of the time is spent chatting about their most underrated and overrated tools. Time stamps:  00:02:13 - A Traka load of new, unreleased gravel bikes from Factor and Ridley  00:06:46 - Cervelo Aspero 5 where it's good and where it's really not 00:13:41 - Has gravel learned everything it knows from XC? 00:18:03 - Is the Factor Sarana Ronan McLaughlin's bike for ultras or just confusing? 00:29:42 - A good thing to share about lighting  00:41:47 - Alex joins to talk MTB World Cup 00:43:51 - New bikes spotted in South Korea from Scott and Lapierre 00:51:56 - Lots of mud and 1x drivetrains aren't a good match 01:01:15 - Ask a Wrench (member-only feed)  01:02:40 - Best mechanical shifting options for dropbar?  01:12:10 - Chainline variance and e-bikes  01:17:30 - Squeaky shoes with SPD  01:22:00 - Our most overrated and underrated tools 

Mike and Simon unpack the first DH and XC World Cup of the season, and there's a whole lot to talk about, including course drama, fast Frenchies, DH hardtails, belt drives, tons of flats, just as many crashes, and Vali Holl and Asa Vermette's insane winning runs, not to mention the XC race mudfest the day after. Plus, we sprinkle in a bit of industry news, and Mike lays out his plan to make poison oak pepper spray.Note: We Want to Hear From You!Please let us know if there's a topic you'd like us to cover or a guest you'd like us to have on Bikes and Big Ideas.

Anna,  Fred, Josh, and AFB sit down with Amy Rusiecki, the longtime race director of the legendary Vermont 100 Endurance Run. Amy shares the behind-the-scenes realities of directing one of the oldest 100-mile races in the country and how she ended up becoming one of the most respected organizers in the sport. If you love a great story, you've stumbled into a whole pasture of them, like opening the gate and finding the World's Largest Cow waiting for you. Amy talks about her early days in endurance sports, how she transitioned from competitive XC skier and ultrarunner to race director, and the complicated logistics of managing hundreds of runners, horses, volunteers, and aid stations across rural Vermont. The group dives into the balancing act of preserving the history and culture of the Vermont 100 while adapting to the modern ultrarunning world. So many great stories! The conversation also covers the volunteer ecosystem that keeps ultras alive, the unique runner-horse dynamic at VT100, how races survive in an era of permits and land management challenges, and why community is still the heart of the sport. Amy shares how The Vermont 100 Endurance Run has long supported Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports, a nonprofit that provides year-round sports and recreation opportunities for people with disabilities. Proceeds from the race help fund adaptive programs like skiing, cycling, paddling, and trail running throughout Vermont. Of course, it wouldn't be Cultra without some tangents along the way, gear talk, race directing war stories, and the usual Northeast trail running chaos. Amy also reflects on what makes the Vermont 100 special, what runners often don't see behind the curtain, and why the race continues to matter to so many people in the ultrarunning community. If you've ever run, volunteered at, or dreamed about the Vermont 100, this episode pulls back the curtain on one of the most iconic races in the sport, and the origin story of Cultra   Learn more about how to support Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sport Vermont 100 Beast Coast Trail Running Get your official Cultra Clothes and other Cultra TRP PodSwag at our store!

Texas State Track & Field just made history — and we're going BELLY TO BELLY with the man behind it.On Episode 445 of Airey Bros Radio, we're joined by John Frazier, Director of Track & Field & Cross Country at Texas State University, fresh off a historic Sun Belt Indoor Championship sweep — winning both the men's and women's titles for the first time in program history.Coach Frazier brings 30+ years of elite coaching experience, with stops at UCLA, Tennessee, Arizona, and Florida, coaching Olympians, NCAA Champions, and All-Americans — and now building a national contender in San Marcos, Texas.

Send us Fan MailA Harvard biologist who loved salamanders, a Wisconsin grad-year racer chasing deeper fields, and a Montana transplant who found her stride on steep, technical trails—Maya Rayle's story is a study in smart risk and joyful grit. We sit down to chart her rapid rise from track speed to mountain savvy, including a breakout podium at The Rut 28K and a fresh selection to the Trail Team.Maya unpacks what it's really like to be recruited to an Ivy through likely letters, how she balanced organismal and evolutionary biology with Division I training, and why choosing the right coach changed everything. Then we head west: landing in Missoula, discovering a community of world-class mentors, and learning to respect vertical gain, dial in fueling, and keep curiosity front and center. Hear the practical shifts that mattered most—steep sessions on Sentinel, long mountain days, and replacing mind-numbing cross-training with backcountry ski tours, XC skiing, and gravel rides that build aerobic depth without draining stoke.We also preview what's next: a spring rust-buster, the rugged challenge of Mount Sunapee, and the stacked field at Broken Arrow 23K. Maya shares how she's treating 2026 as an exploration year—testing distances, seeking steep profiles, and staying open to a Europe start line. Along the way we spotlight the Missoula crew—Jen Lichter, Adam Peterman, Erin Clark, Jackson Cole—and how training alongside people who care raises your ceiling. If you're eyeing technical trail races or trying to protect joy while building fitness, this conversation delivers hard-won lessons on community, nutrition, and the art of loving vert.If this story fires you up, follow Maya at maya_rail on Instagram, hit subscribe, and leave a quick review so more trail runners can find the show.

Welcome back to Airey Bros Radio — your #1 resource for college wrestling, cross country, and track & field programs across the country.On Episode 444, we went belly to belly with Coach Mark Fairley, Head Men's & Women's Cross Country Coach and Head Distance Coach at Taylor University.Fresh off the 2026 NAIA Indoor Track & Field National Championships, Coach Fairley breaks down Taylor's national success, including:

Alex Miller is a two-time Olympic XC racer from Namibia with multiple road and XC marathon national titles. These days, he lives in Girona and races for Swatt Club, splitting his schedule between gravel, road, and mountain bike races. He joins Payson this week to talk about growing up on a 49,000-acre farm in Namibia, his journey to becoming an XC Olympian, the time he beat Matt Beers in a sprint, and how he might have some sneaky WorldTour aspirations. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Presbyterian College cross country has a new leader — and he's building something fast.In ABR Episode 440, Airey Bros Radio sits down with Robert “Bus” Baker, the new Head Cross Country Coach at Presbyterian College (Big South Conference), to talk coaching at a cross-country-only Division I program, creating buy-in after a mid-November coaching change, and building a system that turns consistency into PRs.Bus shares his origin story as a late-developing runner (high school basketball + XC, then a D1 walk-on opportunity), the lessons he learned navigating the transfer portal, and how his psychology background shapes the culture, motivation, and daily structure of his team. We also get into what recruiting looks like right now with NIL pressure, roster changes, and why hungry high school athletes are more important than ever.Plus: training surfaces, “grass-first” development, the case for D1 small-school culture, and Bus' vision to get Presbyterian back into Big South contention.Guest: Robert “Bus” Baker — Head Cross Country Coach, Presbyterian CollegeShow: Airey Bros Radio (ABR)Fuel: Black Sheep Endurance CoachingValue-for-ValuePodcast Show Notes00:00 ABR intro + “Howdy & Aloha” open00:43 Who is Bus Baker?

It's common for everyone to chase the simple answer for what the best product is. In this week's Geek Warning, Dave and Ronan discuss why those chasing the best of something may be landing upon fiction.   Additionally, you'll hear about the differing paths in aero road wheel design between the latest from Princeton Carbon Works and Cadex. Of course, there's a PSA. And our Good Thing segment returns.   As with every week, members of Escape Collective get access to our Ask a Wrench segment. This week, Zach Edwards joins Dave to discuss greasing principles, whether to lube electronic derailleurs, mixing-and-matching SRAM brakes, and more. If you like the show, then please consider leaving a review. It's much appreciated.   Happy geeking! Time stamps:   1:20 - Princeton Carbon Works' research into rim widths 10:50 - Cadex's new aero combo  20:00 - SRAM's new gravity MTB products 22:55 - Ibis has a new XC bike  24:00 - On our mind: There is no best  36:50 - PSA: Know when you don't know   46:00 - Good thing: Sync Ergonomics Aerobar Three 51:00 - Ask a Wrench (Members only) 51:30 - Do you lube the pivots of electronic derailleurs?  59:20 - Shimano MTB vs Road on an indoor trainer  1:04:00 - Mixing SRAM dropbar shifters with four-piston calipers  1:09:30 - Applying grease to a thread and how much to use 

Have you experienced certain models of Shimano 12-speed chains rusting more easily than expected? It's one of many topics in this week's Geek Warning, the cycling tech podcast from Escape Collective. This week, Suvi, Alex, and Dave also discuss limitations and concerns regarding the fast-arriving 32in wheels. There's talk of new bikes. And what we carry for fixing tubeless punctures. Those on our member-only feeds also get access to Ask a Wrench, where this week Colorado-based pro mechanic Colin Williams joins Dave for the first time. Happy geeking! Time stamps: 1:40 - Trek's new XC bike has been spotted 6:40 - Big (32”) wheels continue to gain momentum, but maybe we should pump the brakes?  18:00 -  Basso's new gravel bike  22:30 - Do 12-speed Shimano chains have a rust issue?  31:00 - Tubeless tyre plugging  42:30 - What we've finished working on  45:00 - Ask a Wrench (Member-only, with pro mechanic Colin Williams)  46:00 - When cutting carbon goes wrong  51:00 - Are there short-cuts to setting up SRAM Transmission?  58:40 - Tips for gravel racing in sand  1:04:00 - Specialized FutureShock headset tips

We catch up with Ethan Gregg after his 2:13 marathon down in Houston last month.He fills us in on what training has been like with Hansons-Brooks, how he spends his days as a Pro Runner, and where he sees his future in the sport.We also hear how he handled ending his D3 career with an injury and not winning an XC team title.He provides great perpsecitve on why the marathon is a great fit for him and where he goes from here.Support D3 Glory Days!A big thanks to Bombas for supporting D3 Glory Days for our regional coverage.
