Why Maddy Nutt Chose to Go Longer & Life Beyond the Bike
transcript
show notes
When Maddy Nutt first joined Zone2Speak, we talked about gravel racing and building a career in endurance cycling. Fast forward to today, and she's become one of the most exciting names in ultra-distance racing.
After winning Traka 560 and The Rift 330, second on Unbound XL, and racing across Brazil and the Atacama Desert in Chile, Maddy has discovered a new passion for pushing beyond traditional race distances and learning what she's truly capable of.
In this episode, we discuss how winning Traka changed her confidence, what she's learned from racing outside Europe, and how focusing on training and racing fewer races has become important to her.
Away from the bike, we also chat about her love of cooking, life after getting engaged, balancing racing with life off the bike, and what's next as she continues to chase bigger challenges around the world.
Whether you're curious about ultra-distance racing or simply looking for inspiration to step outside your comfort zone, this conversation is full of honest reflections, lessons learned, and plenty of laughs.
