Episode Synopsis
This week Kriss Hendy from Strength for Endurance interviews Wei, Lead bike fitter at Foundation Bike Fit, to discover the fundamental prerequisites for creating a high performance bike position.
Wei and Kriss reveal their admiration for the achievements of their age-group athletes and real reason why lifestyle athletes are not addressing the aches and pains they know they need to fix.
Having collaborated on several occasions over the past few years, Kriss & Wei have a mutual understanding and respect for the important link between bike fitting and S&C.
In today's chat they discuss some great topics including 'How often do you need to get a bike fit?', 'Why cycling is still behind the time when it comes to embracing the benefits of S&C' and ‘Finding the best bike for you and your body'.
This is a discussion loaded with practical value as well as key principles which any endurance athlete can use to balance success in the sport they love with the responsibilities of everyday life.
