A wall of noise, a missing setup rock, and a bike landing on her head, Elly Hoskin turns a chaotic Squamish Enduro crash into a lesson in composure. From there, we dive straight into the engine room of Enduro performance: why a cross-country base still pays dividends, how controlled stress tests make race day feel familiar, and the art of checking just enough data to stay lethal without losing focus.Elly opens up about moving from U21 to Elite and the mindset shift that came with it, including when she refuses to look at results and when a tiny time gap is exactly the nudge she needs. We talk training blocks, zone two battles, headphones on transfers, and listening to the bike on descents. She shares how coaching sharpened her language and self-awareness, made her a better athlete to coach, and helped her invite newer riders into the sport without the pressure of pace.Identity and expectations show up in surprising ways: the world champion label on a bike that won’t let you hide, the relief of riding flats to relearn feel, and the choice to value longevity over spectacle. Elly spotlights the surge of women in Enduro, mentors like ALN, best-friend brain trusts with Tori Wood, and a COVID-era cohort that found freedom on bikes when team sports shut down. Then we step into Worlds: weather chaos, schedule shuffles, a calculated caffeine gamble, and a ruthless late push that moved her from fourth to the rainbow jersey on stages that favored power and precision.If you care about Enduro strategy, sports psychology, and building speed that lasts all day, this is a rare, inside look at how control beats chaos. Reach out and get in contact with me here.Subscribe, share with a riding friend, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.
