Choosing the right type of mountain bike

Strength and Endurance Training for Mountain Bikers with AllAroundJoe | The MBA Podcast

This episode of the Mountain Bikes Apart podcast is all about the training. I recently had a chat with Joe Bauer of AllAroundJoe.com and the All Around Joe Podcast, and he’s a fascinating guy. His show covers the full gamut of health and fitness, from training, to crossfit, to supplements to diet, and I’ve learned a tonne listening to him over the past few months.

I wanted to get Joe on the show to get his thoughts on strength and fitness training for mountain bikers. I think that a lot of cyclists in general don’t think much about strength when it comes to their sport, certainly not beyond getting yourself a huge set of quads. But, having spoken to Joe, it seems that it’s important to go way beyond the legs.

Alongside strength, we cover to how to increase your endurance at the same time, including types of training that can cover both bases in a quick and easy manner.

Make sure to check out Joe’s website for loads of fitness and diet tips, and get even more of the good stuff from his Podcast which you can find here.

As always, let us know what you think. If you have questions for either Joe or myself, then drop a comment in below, or tweet me at @colinmcgray.

See you on the next episode!
