Sabine Bird is an endurance cyclist who is the 24 hour Road Race World Champion .... breaking the world record at the same time for the most distance covered in the 24 hour race period. She is now preparing for the Race Across America (RAAM), an ultra endurance cycling event of some 5,000km across the USA.
How would you deal with zero sleep? How long can you stay in the saddle for? How about 22 hours a day?
Sabine talks fitness v toughness and how she segregates and deals with (& even embraces!) pain.
She talks training regimes, race nutrition and keeping 'busy' on the bike and in her head. Sabine also talks about her other passion- her research on Alzheimers.
And modestly, Sabine says all she does is pedal a bike! What an understatement!
