SUPERHUMAN: The epitome of why your health is your wealth and ultimate freedom and how bikes give you the opportunity to ‘blend in’ and escape with Katie Love.
<h2>Pod intro</h2><p>Imagine living with conditions that mean the thing that you love to do that brings you peace, sanity and good mental health is also the thing that will then knock you off your feet.</p><p>Today I talk with Katie Love about living with EDS and TOS and despite this, having the fortitude to send it on her mountain bike and do what she can, when she can. We chat about the layers of thought that go into daily decisions and activity and the constant balancing act she is navigating in regards to her energy, body and mind.</p><p>Katie shares how mountain biking allows her to blend in with the crowd, she is not ill Katie when she is on her bike, she is just Katie. It almost provides a shield from pity and self consciousness, something I am certain we can all relate to in some shape or form. </p><br><p>Katie is a bloody trooper and this episode will inspire the socks off you.</p><p><br></p><h1><strong><u>The Guest: </u></strong></h1><p><br></p><p>I am using cycling as my escape and therapy due to having multiple conditions that effects me physically and mentally and aim to inspire those like me to get out and ride when you can. </p><p>Follow Katie : <a target="_blank" href="https://instagram.com/the_exhausted_cyclist">@the_exhausted_cyclist on Instagram</a> , <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/KaTiE_lOvE_">@KaTiE_lOvE_ on Twitter</a> </p><p>You can check out Katie's blogs here: <a target="_blank" href="https://theexhaustedcyclist.wixsite.com/website/blog">Katie's Website</a> </p><p><br></p><h1><strong><u>Take away's from the episode:</u></strong></h1><ul><li>The fortitude of humans is incredible.

What does it feel like to be recognised as a next generation World Class Downhill Mountain Bike Athlete? With Liv Taylor.
<p>Today I have the pleasure of chatting with Liv Taylor, a 12 year old superstar who is setting her sights on World class titles in Downhill Mountain Biking and is on track to get there.</p><p>She is fearless, dedicated, determined and humble, and has recently been chosen for Madison Saracen's Youth Development Team, an amazing opportunity where they nurture and develop the talents of younger riders in a bid to create World class athletes.</p><br><p>Not only that, Liv has the support of mountain biking royalty such as Tahnee Seagrave, Rachel Atherton, Veron Sandler and Becci Skelton who have undoubtedly inspired her to be the best after seeing that raw talent come from the little ripper shredding the likes of Revolution Bike Park!</p><br><p>It has not been easy though. British Cycling's race structure meant Liv had to 'wait around' in effect because despite her talent, she was not old enough to race in the races or categories that matched her talent. Here from James, Liv's Dad about this and what they had to do to get Liv to be able to race. </p><br><p>I want to be like Liv when I grow up.</p><p><br></p><h1><strong><u>The Guest: </u></strong></h1><p>Liv got on a bike at Cannock Chase when she was 8 years old, it was clear she had a natural talent and overcame every feature in no time. An impromptu visit to an uplift venue in Wales gave Liv the downhill bug and she has never looked back. </p><p>Entering her first races at 417 bike park wetted her appetite for competition and she has gone from strength to strength and is now on track for world class podiums. </p><p>You can follow and support Liv and see all the crazy things she rides over on instagram: <a target="_blank" href="https://instagram.com/Livshreds">@Livshreds on Instagram</a> </p><br><p><br></p><h1><strong><u>Take away's from the episode:</u></strong></h1><ul><li>It has not been an easy time for Liv to get the permission to race to match her talent. British Cycling do not appear to make it easy for young talent in Downhill Biking to excel and progress, Liv was left 'waiting' around, unable to race because of her age. What are we missing out on as a country by having this structure in racing? </li></ul><br/><p><br></p><ul><li>"If you're good enough, you are old enough", is the approach every other country seems to adopt in terms of allowing talented youngsters to race. </li></ul><br/><p><br></p><ul><li>The support system around you when you compete in this sport is so key to nurturing talent. Role models are vital for younger riders to provide support, inspiration and bring on progression.</li></ul><br/><p><br></p><ul><li>We love bikes.</li></ul><br/><p><br></p><p><br></p><h1><strong><u>Useful Links:</u></strong></h1><p>For info on the British Downhill series 2023 check out <a href="http://bit.ly/425j8km" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/425j8km</a></p><br><p>To follow Liv’s success and race results you can check out Roots and Rain <a href="http://bit.ly/3lcXJVN" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/3lcXJVN</a></p><br><p>To read more about the Madison Saracen Development Team check out; <a href="http://bit.ly/3FrlDnn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/3FrlDnn</a></p><br><p>If you want to get out on your bike and need some riding buddies then check out some local mountain bike groups.
