Have you ever seen someone who loves their job more? Hannah’s love of this is so infectious. Nobody smarter, nobody works harder. Her personal insights are always the most relatable. Her facts are indisputable. More Hannah Otto!! She always delivers

Every time Hannah is on I know I'm gonna be taking notes.

[@TrainerRoad]

So right! A pro's pro that truly enjoys the sport.

Another EXCELLENT podcast! Every week, TR’s cycling info and advice feels better than AI because it’s powered by human experience and an endless desire to help listeners get faster. Thank You, Hannah! You always brings so many winning strategies to light. I especially enjoyed hearing your tips on Tapering and Jonathan’s predictions about future cycling innovations. 👍🏻

V Cool TR and Hannah! Love the insights after watching the race (SO 2024) Lookin forward to Unbound. Good luck. Si, Christchurch, NZ.

Tapering: So moving into a new house in the weeks leading into your A race isn't optimal? 😅 I'll definitely be adjusting my expectations this year, but feeling strong and ready regardless. Thanks TrainerRoad! 💪

[@TrainerRoad]

Perhaps not ideal, haha! Good luck with the move and sneak in as much downtime as you can!

[@hotsky83]

Nice episode - thanks!

Hannah says, 'That's what I was going to mention next', when Jonathan mentions carbs. If I had an extra watt on my FTP for every time I said that to my wife I'd be awesome.

Big teeth Hannah!
