Fall is here, the days are shorter, and your rides might be winding down – but your fitness doesn’t have to! In this episode, I’m talking about why the off-season is the perfect time to start strength training for mountain bikers and gravel cyclists.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
✨ Why Fall + Winter are prime time for gym gains
✨ The biggest myths about strength training for cyclists (and the truth)
✨ Simple ways to start lifting without overwhelm
✨ How strength training makes you more durable, powerful, and faster on the bike

Think of this as your off-season advantage – a way to turn downtime into your best riding season yet.

And if you want the guesswork taken out? My #ShredStrong strength training program starts November 3rd and gives you the exact workouts you need to get stronger without feeling overwhelmed.
