Cycling is a sport in its own right and the longest leg of the Ironman triathlon. London Real has spoken to a Tour de France stage winner, a world champion triathlete, an inventor who set out to make city riding safer and the athletes behind Brian Rose’s own Ironman challenge, Ironmind. They cover clean racing, marginal gains, recovering from a crash and training for endurance. Every full interview is free to watch.
From Tour de France stage winner David Millar and triathlon world champion Tim Don to Atomic Habits author James Clear, Blaze founder Emily Brooke, Cro-Mags frontman and vegan Ironman John Joseph, endurance athlete Ben Greenfield and freerunner Tim Shieff: racing, endurance and life on the bike.
David Millar, one of Britain’s most successful road cyclists, rode 12 Tours de France and won five stages. He talks about his career, the impact of performance-enhancing drugs on the sport and his vision for clean cycling. James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, tells the story of British Cycling and the aggregation of marginal gains behind its Tour de France success, using it to show how small 1% improvements add up. Emily Brooke explains why she created the Laserlight, a bike light designed with city cyclists in mind.
An Ironman is a 3.8km swim, a 180km bike ride and a marathon. Tim Don, a three-time British Olympian, describes setting an Ironman world record and recovering from a broken neck after a car turned in front of his bike. Ironmind is the film of Brian Rose training for and racing an Ironman on a plant-based diet. John Joseph, who also appears in an earlier interview, trained with Brian and reflects at the finish line, and Tim Shieff joins Brian for a Q&A at the premiere. Ben Greenfield and Deri Llewellyn-Davies share their own endurance stories.
