Making Shift Happen

221. How to Develop Durability on the Bike
Durability isn’t just about going the distance – it’s about how well you hold up during it.
In this episode of Making Shift Happen, I share how cyclists (whether you’re a mountain biker, gravel grinder, or roadie) can build true, long-lasting durability, both mentally and physically. You’ll learn how strength training, proper fueling, sleep, and even mindset work together to keep you riding stronger, longer, and with less risk of burnout or injury.
We cover:
- What durability really means (and why it matters)
- How to use strength training to improve fatigue resistance
- Mental strategies to push through tough moments
- Nutrition and sleep tips to support long-term gains
- Why consistency trumps hero workouts every time
