Kristen Legan of Rambleur Adventure Coaching knows more than just a little about Unbound Gravel. She has raced the event numerous times, including the ultra-daunting 350-mile course. When it comes to getting prepared for the sufferfest in the foothills of Kansas, Legan is an old pro.
On this week’s Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast, host Dan Cavallari hands the reins over to Mark Still as he interviews Kristen Legan. Mark is preparing to take on the 200-mile Unbound course in just a few weeks as part of his “Rebuild Mark” series.
Legan lends key insights about the race and what Mark can (and should) do to get ready for the unique challenges of Kansas gravel. She notes the differences between Colorado riding and Kansas gravel, how to mentally approach such a demanding event, and much more.
