    Anthony sits down with Mick Cusack to explore one of the most turbulent and little-understood chapters in Irish sporting history. Mick recounts a time when Irish cycling was deeply divided—marked by sabotage, bitter rivalries, and even violence that spilled onto racecourses and international stages. As a rider who lived through this era and competed alongside legends like Stephen Roche, Mick offers a firsthand perspective on what he describes as a “sporting civil war” that lasted decades. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the chaos, politics, and personalities that shaped Irish cycling and left a lasting legacy on the sport.

    This episode dives into the hidden reason your cycling form comes and goes. Anthony shares his own experience racing at a high level while feeling constantly tired, sick, and inconsistent—despite doing everything he thought was right. The problem? Focusing on just one pillar: training. Drawing on insights from world-class coaches and over 1,400 podcast conversations, he breaks down the five pillars every cyclist needs—training, nutrition, strength, recovery, and accountability. Through real stories and practical lessons, this episode shows how shifting from one pillar to five can unlock consistent performance, better health, and a completely different experience on the bike.

  • This New Study Blew My Mind - Strength Training For Cyclists
    Apr 13 2026

    You train four, maybe five days a week. You watch your power numbers. You ride with your mates on a Saturday. You have the power meter. Maybe you've even bought a lighter set of wheels thinking that would be the thing that finally made the difference.

    But I have one question.

    Why is almost none of your time spent in the gym? In today podcast we talk about a new study that underlines the importance of strength training for cyclists.

  • Saddle Pain Isn’t Normal: What Every Cyclist Needs to Know
    Apr 7 2026

    If you’re a cyclist who’s ever thought saddle pain, burning, or saddle sores were just part of cycling this episode is for you. And while my conversation about bike fitting does lean towards female problems I think that this is an interesting conversation for both anatomies! Today, I sit down with Phil Burt, former bike fitter to British Cycling and Team Sky, to talk about the most common but least discussed problems in the sport. We get into why so many cyclists and women in particular are suffering in silence, why discomfort is not something you should just push through, and give you some simple bike fit and equipment changes that can make a huge difference.
