The Tour de France is underway, and this week Jeremy Powers sits down with world class cyclist Lachlan Morton of the EF Education-EastPost team. Lachlan has raced in some of the biggest world tour events, but he’s perhaps best known for some of his achievements in ultra long distance and uphill events. He recently set the world record in “Everesting,” climbing the equivalent of Mount Everest in just 7 and a half hours. He also rode the Tour de France route last summer by himself, riding 12 hours a day, sleeping in tents alongside the road, and raising $700,000 for charity in the process. Lachlan discusses his journey to cycling (3:42), going pro (8:50), winning the Tour of Utah (15:26), his charitable efforts (18:15), his WHOOP data while riding the Tour de France route by himself (25:38), recovery and adaptation (29:50), road racing vs. adventure cycling (33:36), and biking around the globe (38:08). Plus, Jeremy quizzes Lachlan on some of the WHOOP Data from the EF team (40:37).
