A concept founded by Dave Brailsford during his time with British Cycling and later Team Sky suggests that marginal (1%) improvement across many aspects of life and sport will add up to cumulatively have a significant effect. While not all of us are chasing these marginal gains in our riding I find that this concept plays out a lot as I work with bike-fit clients.

and the Women Who Shaped it. While some may look at Endurance and see on the surface another 30-somethings white dude running a bike fitting service, I would like to highlight some of the most influential people in my education and career.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do. Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. T ..read more
