Enve update the Melee with a spec list clearly aiming at competing with Specialized SL9; lighter, stiffer, faster ... but at what cost? A cycling coach horror story has us discussing what makes a good coach in 2026, and what are the red flags to watch out for.

This week Coach Rob answers a stacked batch of listener questions, including: How to time and dose your gels on the bike... Whether indoor Zwift rides should match race distance or race time...What's really behind swim anxiety when training alone and how to work through it...The two causes of swimming cramps and how to fix each one...Why riding too hard on the bike wrecks your run...And whether a taller/bigger athlete gets a bigger aero payoff from a TT bike.

Send Me a Text MessageHost Tom Butler opens the episode with a reflection on this year's Seattle to Portland ride. It was made special by finishing in Portland with his daughter. He then introduces Sue Nicholson, a woman he considers a mentor. Sue came to cycling late, working her way in through mountaineering and kayaking before finding the sport in her 70s.  Tom and Sue get into her path from that first ride to bike-packing in her 70s, what it means to train differently as a woman after menopause, and the diabetes education work that put her in communities across Eastern Washington, including tribal communities.

What is the fastest road bike in the real world? We put the Cervelo S5 (aero bike), Cannondale SuperSix (Do-It-All) and Stromm Raktt (hyper-bike) into a real world speed test, and the results might surprise you, they certainly shocked us. The Seka Spear is getting a bad reputation for being floppy and how to avoid a sore back in the gym.

A high VO₂max can be a sign that you are inefficient, not that you are fit.That is one of several ideas Marco Altini takes apart in this episode. Marco is co-founder of HRV4Training, an endurance coach, an advisor at Oura, and a guest lecturer at VU Amsterdam. He holds a PhD in data science and master's degrees in computer science engineering and human movement sciences. He is also Bruna's coach and an advisor to augo.We start with why he prescribes almost everything by perceived effort and almost never gives a pace or a heart rate. He explains how he brings along athletes who cannot yet read their own effort, and what he actually looks at when he analyses training data, which turns out to be far less often than most people assume.Then we get into the lab. Marco tests for running economy and substrate oxidation at race intensity, and explains why VO₂max is one of the least actionable numbers in endurance sport, using his own results as the example.We also cover what changes between a road marathon and a trail marathon, whether you can train for trails without trails, why fueling past ten hours becomes a calorie problem rather than a carbohydrate problem, and where AI genuinely helps a coach.That last part gets specific. Marco describes using augo to pull up a fueling conversation from months earlier instead of scrolling through workout comments and WhatsApp, and explains why he sees the tool as removing administrative friction rather than replacing coaching judgement.About augoaugo is an intelligent platform for endurance sports coaching. It combines coach and athlete communication, workout data from Garmin, Strava, Coros, Wahoo, Polar and Zwift, and post-session athlete feedback in a single platform, so coaches can ask a question and get an answer with full athlete context. augo surfaces which athletes need attention today, tracks wellbeing trends over time, and remembers every note, conversation and session feedback.augo is built to support coaches, not replace them.

Silca claims to have found the fastest tyre compound for their new road and gravel tyres. While we debate some Cat 5 racers behave baldly. What are "junk" miles and Jesse has his quarterly crisis about the future of racing and riding.

TREK update their endurance bike and we debate which brand has the most "compelling" model in their catalogue. Tragedy in Portugal as another pro cyclists life is cut short far too soon and are bike fits really worth it?

This week, after a Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift debrief, Corrine Malcolm and Hillary Allen take on RED-S and low energy availability through Hillary's own recent experience with injury and recovery. What started as overreaching and under-recovery became a bigger lesson in how training stress, work stress, life changes, sleep, fueling, and healing all draw from the same finite pool of energy.They talk about:why RED-S can affect athletes at any sizewhy it isn't synonymous with disordered eatinghow low energy availability can slow injury recoveryand why even athletes who understand the science can still miss the signs in themselves.It's a candid, practical conversation about listening sooner, fueling enough, and learning that stress is stress — no matter where it comes from.Forbes Article: Why It Took 119 Years To Build A Tour de France For WomenFollow Us:FeistyFest Details and Registration: https://livefeisty.com/events/feisty-fest/Women's Mechanic Camp in Tucson: https://livefeisty.com/events/bike-mechanic-school-tucson/Courses and Coaching: https://livefeisty.com/courses/@feisty_media@trail.societySupport our Partners:Use the code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://www.tifosioptics.comProBio: Use code Trail20 for 20%-off orders (30%-off + free shipping w/ subscriptions) at https://www.probionutrition.com/rabbit: Visit https://www.runinrabbit.com/ use code: SUMMERTRAIL for 10% off.

Loren and Abby are back in the "studio" with Gracie and Georgie a week after the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Now that the dust has settled, the four talk more about their lasting impressions of the race, what went right and what needs improving in the future.Plus! The Lloyd's Tour of Britain is coming! With some big names set to race this week, it's going to be a fantastic edition of the long standing five day stage race.

Before the start of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in Lausanne, Kate Courtney sat down with Abby and Loren to talk about her move to the WorldTour with FDJ United-Suez, how her first road races went, and why she values building her personal brand.

In this episode, Stu and Andy Compas sit down with longtime rider Russ Nelson to trace his full-circle journey in cycling—from Boy Scout merit-badge miles and junior crits in the late '80s, to stepping away during the heavy family-and-career years, to coming back 20+ years later with LOTOJA in his sights. Russ talks about dropping some pounds, finding joy (and speed) in climbing, creating big adventure routes and why group rides, Zwift hacks, and early-morning canyon sunrises still light him up. Along the way, he shares stories about Moab, keychain derailleur fixes, life as the youngest of ten with nine older sisters, and leaves us with a powerful idea: aiming for harmony—not just balance—between family, work, and the bike.

An aero road race bike delivered to your door for $2,899, is it too good to be true? Quick Pro raise their prices as a few defective frames appear across the internet. And what have the pros got wrong in the last 10 years? We question the "if the pros are doing it" mentality.

In this episode Patrick and Benji recap the 9th stage of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.*Exclusive deals from our trusted partners*

With only eight seconds separating two riders, the final stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift came down to one final, absolutely brutal, stage in Nice. It was short, but packed a punch, and the overall classification was decided definitively. Abby, Loren, and Anna are here to talk about the stage and the final GC standings, with audio diaries from Nat Quinn (Mayenne Monbana My Pie), Franzi Koch (FDJ United-Suez), and Amanda Spratt (with a cameo from Niamh Fisher-Black) (Lidl-Trek). 

Every person in the race, from mechanics to riders to directors, has a unique story from each stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. Stage 7 was particularly chaotic, and we highlighted it on our episode from the stage, but Abby wanted to share two alternative views on the race: Shawn Clarke, Director for Liv AlUla Jayco, and Fiona Mangan, who rides for Mayenne Monbana My Pie.

Stage 8 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift delivered a dramatic finale on the road to Nice, with a long breakaway eventually caught and the GC contenders battling it out on the final climbs. Demi Vollering launched a decisive solo attack on the steep final ascent, breaking clear of Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney and Elisa Longo Borghini before holding on to win the stage by 17 seconds. The victory also saw Vollering take the Yellow Jersey, with Niewiadoma-Phinney just eight seconds behind in the overall standings — the closest top two ever heading into the final stage of the Tour. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan break down Stage 8 of the Tour de France Femmes. _______________________________________________________________

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)? 

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).

In this episode Patrick and Benji recap the 6th stage of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.*Exclusive deals from our trusted partners*

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. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan break down Stage 6 of the Tour de France Femmes. _______________________________________________________________

Stage 5 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift delivered the first major mountain battle of the race, with relentless climbing from the start. Puck Pieterse dominated the Queen of the Mountains competition, while the general classification fight exploded on the final climbs. Demi Vollering's decisive attack on the Mont Brouilly split the favourites before she, Marlen Reusser and Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney battled all the way to Belleville-en-Beaujolais. Vollering sprinted to the stage win, while Reusser held on to the Yellow Jersey and tightened the fight for the overall lead.
