The Leadville 100 is one of the most popular off-road cycling events in the entire world,

and of all the bike races on people's bucket list, it might be the most prominent.

But the crazy thing is, most people race it wrong, and they don't have what they need to have a successful day.

So today here on the Ask a Cycling Coach podcast we're gonna dig into this race a little bit

deeper with a short episode that dives deep into all the things you need to know in terms of

nutrition, pacing, and all the other details in order to have a successful day at

Leadville. But if you're never going to do Leadville and you're not doing it

this weekend as this podcast is being published, then don't worry about it.

These principles also relate to you whenever you're taking on a big day that's going to be really long

that requires pacing, requires a nutrition plan that's well laid out, and especially if it's an off-road race

and at high elevation like Leadville is.

So stay tuned for this.
