ALL IN for 4 months, how much could I move the needle? Road to Gravel Burn | EP 12

Four months of training, testing, and hard work come down to one final check-in on the road to Gravel Burn. With the help of coach Reece McDonald and strength coach Paige Goldie, we look at the progress made on and off the bike, and what it really takes to become a stronger athlete. But this journey has become about much more than watts, weight, and performance. It’s about consistency, rebuilding confidence, and changing the way you see yourself. As race day approaches, the biggest gains might not be the ones you can measure. This is the final chapter before Gravel Burn, and the results are about to put everything into perspective.
