The Downtime Podcast

This week, I’m joined once again by elite mountain bike performance coach Chris Kilmurray, as we dive deep into the build-up for the 2025 MTB World Cup season. We’re talking preseason prep, the role of health and performance testing, and why team camps matter more than ever. Chris shares his take on the new World Cup format, the rise of AI in training, and the logistical battles that teams face behind the scenes. We also cover the real risks of injury, how riders adapt to new bikes, and what it takes to stay consistent through a chaotic season. Whether you're chasing speed or just love the sport, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss. So it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Chris Kilmurray.
