PODCAST GUEST DIRECTORY: EVERY EXPERT ON THE ROADMAN CYCLING PODCAST

By Anthony Walsh

This is the full directory of every expert who has appeared on The Roadman Cycling Podcast. More than 100 coaches, scientists, pro cyclists, nutritionists, and endurance athletes — the people behind the conversations that have driven 100 million podcast downloads.

Each guest links to their dedicated page where you can find every episode they have appeared on, key quotes, and related guides.

Featured Guests

These are the guests whose conversations have shaped the core of what the podcast is about. If you are new to Roadman, start here.

Professor Stephen Seiler — Exercise Physiologist, Polarised Training Pioneer

The researcher who defined how modern endurance athletes structure their training. Stephen Seiler coined the polarised-training model and the 80/20 rule of intensity distribution from his lab at the University of Agder in Norway. His research across cyclists, rowers, and cross-country skiers demonstrated that roughly 80% of sessions should sit at low intensity and roughly 20% at high intensity, with very little time in the threshold grey zone. When Anthony talks about Zone 2, sweet spot traps, or "am I riding my easy days too hard," the answer traces back to Seiler's work.

Topics covered: polarised training, 80/20 intensity distribution, Zone 2 endurance, lactate threshold, exercise physiology

Dan Lorang — Head of Performance, Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe

One of the most respected coaches in endurance sport. Dan Lorang coached Jan Frodeno, Anne Haug, and Lucy Charles-Barclay across multiple Ironman world titles. As Head of Performance at Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe, he oversees the team that includes Primož Roglič. His position that long-term athlete development trumps short-term peaking — and that polarised intensity distribution applies equally to Ironman triathletes and Grand Tour riders — has become a Roadman reference point.

Topics covered: cycling coaching, periodisation, training-load management, triathlon coaching, long-term athlete development

Lachlan Morton — Professional Cyclist, EF Education–EasyPost

Australian World Tour rider, ultra-distance and alt-racing pioneer. Lachlan Morton is a former Everesting world record holder, 2024 Unbound Gravel 200 winner, and the rider who proved that ultra-endurance volume and World Tour racing fitness are not in conflict when periodised properly. His interview is one of the most-played in the Roadman archive — the conversation where cycling culture meets the sharp end of endurance.

Topics covered: ultra-endurance cycling, alt-racing, bikepacking, World Tour racing, Everesting, gravel racing

Ben Healy — Professional Cyclist, EF Education–EasyPost

2025 Tour de France stage winner and UCI Road World Championships bronze medallist. Ben Healy consumed roughly 140 grams of carbohydrates per hour on his way to winning stage six of the 2025 Tour — a number that sounds absurd until you hear the protocol behind it. His episodes cover the tactical and nutritional detail of what it takes to win from a solo breakaway at the highest level.

Topics covered: Tour de France tactics, fuelling strategy, solo breakaway pacing, race-day nutrition, weight management

Michael Matthews — Professional Cyclist, World Tour Stage Race Winner

Green jersey winner, Tour de France stage winner, Vuelta stage winner, Giro stage winner, pink jersey holder. Michael Matthews is one of the biggest stars in professional cycling, and his Roadman conversation covers everything from his battles with Sagan to his training protocol and the real detail behind his biggest wins.

Topics covered: World Tour racing, sprint tactics, training protocol, Grand Tour stage racing

Joe Friel — Author of The Cyclist's Training Bible

The coach who taught a generation of amateur cyclists how to think about periodisation, training stress, and the structure of a season. Joe Friel co-founded TrainingPeaks, served as chairman of the USA Triathlon National Coaching Commission, and wrote the book that most amateur cyclists have on their shelf. His Roadman episodes are the ones masters cyclists keep coming back to — the unvarnished version of what changes after 40 and what does not.

Topics covered: periodisation, season planning, training stress score, heart rate zones, masters cycling, long-term athlete development

John Wakefield — Director of Coaching & Sports Science, Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe

Coach and bike fitter who runs the Science to Sport Performance Laboratory in Girona, Spain. John Wakefield is the coach most publicly associated with low-cadence and torque-interval training in the modern peloton. Previously Performance Co-ordinator at UAE Team Emirates. When the Roadman conversation turns to strength on the bike — low-cadence work, torque intervals, and the kind of muscular durability that decides who gets dropped on the third climb — Wakefield is the source.

Topics covered: low-cadence training, torque intervals, sweet-spot training, bike fit, sports science

Rosa Klöser — Professional Gravel Racer, Unbound 200 Winner

One of the strongest voices in professional gravel racing. Rosa Klöser won the Unbound Gravel 200 and has become a go-to guest for conversations about the gravel scene, women's racing, and what it takes to compete at the sharp end of ultra-distance events.

Topics covered: gravel racing, ultra-endurance, women's cycling, race strategy
