Welcome to our 6th year of the podcast! Our first guest of 2026 is friend of the podcast, and professional cyclist Sarah Sturm. Sarah joined us live to answer all of our burning questions about her life as a professional off-road cyclist. She talks about managing stress and disappointment, learning from mistakes, navigating her own expectations, and why she loves strength training. Sarah also explains her view on how she and her fellow female racers are continuing to develop the craft of racing in the women’s pro peloton, and the differences in racing in Europe versus North America. Sarah will be returning to the Life Time Grand Prix in 2026, and she talks about what went into her decision to return to the series this year.
