Mat had an incredible career spanning 18 years, a Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist, rode on 3 of the biggest pro cycling teams, holds the record for the most Paris-Roubaix finishes (16) and every cyclist knows THAT Paris-Roubaix win from 2016. As huge fans ourselves, we could've asked Mat questions for hours, but we were grateful and impressed with the extremely valuable insight he was able to provide us from both an athlete and coaching perspective. In this episode we covered: His new role as Sport Director at Mitchelton-Scott  How the pro riders are coping right now with corona virus and what he's doing with the team Why his famous Paris-Roubaix zwift preparation from 2016 wasn't as simple as most people think Some classic insight into that famous victory How we should be tackling this period of isolated, indoor training (he would know!) And some gold nuggets on the value of focusing on your mental and physical health right now We thank Mat for his time. And if you are needing some extra motivation, go and watch this video of his Paris-Roubaix win, it truly is one of the most inspiring videos on youtube and will leave you feeling very emotional: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zxnA4asj44&t=37s The Get Fast Podcast is brought to you by TriVelo Coaching, where we help triathletes and cyclists like you, Train Smarter to Race Faster.
