There’s a new world of cycling at the moment. We are finally breaking down the old thinking that in order to be a success you have to make a professional team, but that’s not what success looks like to everyone and Alina captures this in her storytelling.

Doing Hard things is a mantra that is front and centre of everything that’s done at The Roadman Cycling Podcast offices. Steve Magness is a pro on the subject. So much so that he wrote a book on it. Steve was a successful running coach in the Nike Oregon Project and it was he who eventually blew the whistle on Alberto Salazar and the morally corrupt practices within the organisation. Some label him “whistleblower”, but we prefer to think of him as a teller of truth. His books include Do Hard Things, Peak Performance, The Passion Paradox, and The Science of Running. They have sold more than 300,000 copies and have been translated into more than 15 languages.
