189 Surviving Fatigue With Body Awareness: Lessons from a Pyrenean Ultra - Deena Blacking

from Cycling Demystified - Bike Fit, Mechanics and Soft Issues · host Cycling Demystified - Bike Fit, Mechanics and Soft Issues

How connected to your body are you on long rides, or are you just zoning out? In this episode, Coach Deena Blacking shares raw insights from her gruelling first ultra-distance race through the Pyrenees to explain how outdoor cycling can become your ultimate tool for building proprioception (body awareness).We discuss how slow, heavy mountain climbs strip away cognitive distractions, forcing you to tune into every muscle contraction and skeletal shift. Learn to spot the gap between how you think you look versus how you actually move, and discover how to actively use the road to build a bulletproof mind-body connection.If you have any further questions for us, join the conversation at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/cyclingdemystified/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Are you 'bike-fit curious'?
