What You Can Learn From the Tour de France

from The Middle Miles · host I Race Like A Girl

The Tour de France is considered the most prestigious cycling race of the year. For three weeks in July, 20-22 professional cycling teams, each comprised of 8 riders, complete 21 stages of riding, covering about 2200 miles in the Alps and the Pyrenees.  And while we may not be able to sprint like Biniam Girmay, or climb like Tadej Pogacar, or time trial like Jonas Vingegaard, or win 35 stages (let alone one) like Mark Cavendish, there are many lessons to be learned from these riders and their teams. In fact, you might have more in common with them than you think. In this episode, we talk about what you can take away from these atheltes and use in your own training and racing and life. And if that doesn't pique your interest, then listen in for a vocabulary lesson from Angela and you, too, can make it your "word of the day."
