What a week in Finale Ligure. 🇮🇹

Coaching at the Enduro World Championships, wearing the GB kit, is something I’ll never take for granted. To stand in that team and represent my country was a real honour.

And the results:

🌈 Helen – World Champion. The rainbow jersey. Years of graft, and she delivered when it mattered most. So proud of you. 🥺❤️❤️❤️

@kelangrant - 7th @tarppedh – 10th @gabrielsainthuile – 15th @urien_m – 18th @manu_warnet – 19th

Every one of those rides came from early mornings, hard sessions and the trust these riders put in the process. Top 20s at a World Championships don’t happen by accident. Thank you all everyone of my athletes 🫡❤️

Thank you to all my athletes for trusting me with your training. Watching you race at this level is why I do this. 🙌

Huge thanks to @britishcycling for the opportunity to represent my country and help support the team. Thanks too to everyone behind the scenes who made the week run.🤝🌈🌈🌈

Back to work. Next season starts now.

🌈🌍 WORLD CHAMPS WEEK! 🌍🌈

It’s time for the final dance of 2026! 🕺🔥

And what a damn good season it’s been!

Words will never quite do justice to this incredible group of athletes. But if I had to sum you all up in one word, it would simply be LEGENDS! ❤️

I owe so much to every single one of you. The trust, the loyalty, the laughs, the hard work and the memories we’ve made along the way mean more than you’ll ever know.

Both my family and I are incredibly grateful to you all. 🥺🤝

And I mean it when I say, I’m proud as punch! 👊❤️

But we’re not quite finished yet…

As Cap once said, “AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!” 🛡️

Well, in our case… ATHLETES, ASSEMBLE! 😂🌈

We’ve got one final race, one final battle and one last opportunity to give it absolutely everything!

LET’S BLOODY HAVE IT!!! 🔥🔥🔥

🇮🇹 FINALE LIGURE, WE’RE COMING FOR YOU! 🌍🏁

Getting closer to the finale in Finale (Ligure)! The last UCI Enduro World Cup but it got me reminiscing about the races I have done here and the cool people I’ve met along the way. So scroll through for a trip down memory lane.

This photo is from the very first UCI Trophy of Nations in 2019. I remember being so excited and nervous to race in Europe.

The format for Trophy of Nations was different than a standard race. Three riders to a team (country) and each rider had to finish in order to place. That means mechanicals or missing stage starts would cost the team in either a DQ or time penalties. It was pretty stressful especially because Finale is known for having tight transition times.

That year Team USA Elite men and Jr men won the championship! Another side note, look far right and you’ll see a young Anna Newkirk on stage.

The 2019 team! Yes that is Hannah Bergemann. You may not know that before she was all in on freeride she dabbled in enduro a bit😎 Also on the team that year was Kate Lawrence and Cooper Ott. We were allowed one reserve rider in the event that someone got hurt before the race officially started.

Incredible riding in Finale Ligure!

Second year racing Trophy of Nations. Obviously because of Covid the race scene was a bit scattered but in 2022 they brought it back!

Same format, same venue, but a lot more experience under my belt! Team USA Women ended up 5th. Kate got a flat during the last stage so we put tubes around her waist and helped tow her back to the finish corral, which was not close. We had to finish by a certain time otherwise we were penalized. Luckily we made it!

The Trophy of Nations format was really unique and fun. Grateful for these experiences and the support that makes it all happen! 🇺🇸

What actually separates World Cup enduro riders? 🔬

This season I profiled 10 UCI EDR World Cup athletes and compared their physiology with every stage result across all 6 rounds, as part of my MSc in Sport & Performance Coaching at the University of Stirling.

The headline finding is that no single number tells the story.

That’s why we use the AO four-axis model:

01 Ceiling: the size of your aerobic engine. Higher capacity went with faster season pace.
02 Reserve: what you can give above threshold. A weapon, but it came with more fade late in the day.
03 Durability: how well you hold power under fatigue. This was the strongest predictor of who faded across a race day.
04 Fuel economy: how efficiently you fuel the effort. It was strongly linked to pace.

Fresh fitness tells you how fast a rider can go. Durability tells you how long they can keep it up. Elite riders need all four.

This is the science behind the Everyday Athlete Program: three key sessions a week, built around all four axes.

Launching 20th October. Comment ENGINE and I’ll send you the details 👇

This is how our pros train. 👇

Three key sessions a week, straight from the AO library:

01 Strength: full-body strength, a chassis integrity circuit and an aerobic finish. Built to keep you strong and stable on the bike.

02 Conditioning: power cleans and front squats, then a 16-minute AMRAP. Force production that holds up when you’re tired.

03 Fitness: 6 VO2 max reps of 2 minutes, plus 1 minute harder. Building the engine for long days and hard climbs.
The same structure our World Cup riders use, scaled for real life: work, family and everything else.

The Everyday Athlete Program Pro-level coaching. Everyday rider. From £5 a week. Launching 20th October.

Yep… that’s rage bait 🤣

However, in the performance equation, skill acquisition has to be a top priority.

If we want to master skills and techniques, we need quality repetitions and more time descending. And for that, an eBike is an incredible tool.

More laps. More descending. More opportunities to practise. More time developing your craft.

Build that alongside a well structured training programme and you’ve got an incredible opportunity to develop not only your fitness, but your ability as a rider. 🚀

And the best part? You can buy one of these lovely machines from @pedalpowerscotland 🤝 These guys genuinely love bikes and have been massive supporters of me and AO Athletes.

And if you need the training programme to go with it…

🔥 AO Athletes Everyday Athlete Programme
3 structured sessions per week Built specifically for MTB performance
Just £25 🤯🥳

If you want to get better on the bike this winter, train the engine and develop the craft.
