All About Ultra-Endurance Cycling With Meaghan Hackinen

03/07/23 • 40 min

All of us who ride our bikes are endurance athletes, but there is another group of cyclists that we call ultra-endurance athletes. These folks are riding their bikes hundreds of miles at a time over periods of 24 hours or more.

To talk about ultra-endurance cycling, I sat down with Meaghan Hackinen. Meaghan is a two time World 24 Hour Time Trial Champion, has the women's Fastest Known Time for The Big Lonely, and is the author of "South Away: The Pacific Coast on Two Wheels."

We chat about training, the mental component of ultra-endurance cycling, and tips for anybody who is interested in trying a big ultra race. Whether or not you want to ever want to complete an ultra, this episode will give you insight into what it takes to perform at a high level.

How To Develop Mental Toughness with Joanna Zeiger (Re-Release)

In this episode of Femme Cyclist I sit down with Joanna Zeiger. Joanna is a former Olympian, Ironman world champion, author, coach, and researcher. Yup, there's pretty much nothing this woman can't do.

I first became familiar with Joanna after reading her fantastic book, The Champions Mindset - An Athlete's Guide to Mental Toughness.

Seeing as how we can all use more mental toughness in our lives, I sat down with Joanna to discuss how we as women, can work on developing it. We also talk about racing, overcoming life's obstacles, and cannabis use in athletes.
