Summary

Welcome to Downtime Goes Downhill, a podcast mini-series that’s taking you with us as we have a go at racing downhill at both a regional and national level and in this episode, bringing you advice from some of the best in the world to help us and you, to perform better. This time by perfecting your process.

Downtime Goes Downhill wouldn’t be happening without the support of some incredible brands. So a massive thanks to Canyon bikes, Fox suspension, Wahoo Fitness, Fox clothing and protection, Maxxis tyres, Magura brakes and We Are One Composites wheels.

This is episode six, the first of our episodes where we’re chatting to the world’s best to find out how we can perform better. Today we’re joined by owner of True Performance and coach to the MS Mondraker team, Olly Morris. Olly is going to help us to optimise our race week process. What should we be doing in the week running up to the race? How should we be approaching track walk and practice? What does it take to lay down your best possible race run and plenty more. This is focussed on downhill but will also help for any kind of mountain bike racing, so sit back, hit play and listen to episode six of Downtime Goes Downhill with Olly Morris.
