The Ride Companion Podcast
Posted by Ben Plenge on 22/04/2025
On my latest MTB podcast appearance I sat down with Davi from Ride Companion. We started by getting into my back story, in particular my past in the British Army and my time in Iraq. My time in Iraq was particularly violent, including a high profile battle that became known as, ‘The Battle of Danny Boy’ that has since featured in a couple of books and a BBC film.
It’s a pretty heavy episode for the first hour, but not without a few laughs and moments of introspection. We then get into my specialist topic….. how to help you be a faster mountain biker through improved health and fitness.
We bust some MTB training myths, kit out a fantasy mountain bike gym, talk time crunched training, post-ride recovery and loads more.
The episode is live now on all major podcast platforms, including Spotify.
Or you can watch the episode on The Ride Companion’s YouTube channel:
I felt pretty nervous putting this episode out there, so I really hope you enjoy it. As always, if you have any questions about how to be a better rider, then please get in touch.
Stay Strong
