This week, as part of the More Women More Miles series, we welcome coach, professional gravel racer and 10-year Unbound veteran Kristen Legan. Kristen has trained many athletes in their journeys to Unbound Gravel, and as the official Unbound coach she is the mastermind behind the free training plans that are available on the Unbound website. She talks about the overall picture of building a training plan for a bug gravel race, and underscores the importance of making sure that picture includes rest. While training for a big race like Unbound can feel daunting, Kristen reminds us to not sweat the small stuff, to focus on routine and consistency, and gives a few examples of her favorite workouts you can include in your own training.
