Ride strong in 2021 | Why strength and conditioning is so important

We talk to Ben Plenge, a strength and conditioning trainer from Bristol, who’s clients range from every-day riders up to World Cup and EWS racers and pros, including Wyn Masters and Vero Sandler. In this episode, Ben talks us through why strength and conditioning training is so important if you’re looking to improve on-bike performance. While Ben’s work focusses on mountain bikers, there’s plenty of relevant information for our road-riding listeners too.
