Unbound Race Recap with Coach Isaiah Newkirk
Isaiah Newkirk
FasCat Coach Isaiah Newkirk was among the 1000+ athletes that lined up for the legendary Unbound 200 this past weekend.
This gravel race is easily one of the most challenging out there, and for many reasons! In this episode he speaks with Coach Frank about what he did in order to make it to the finish line including: race prep, bike set up, mindset, pacing, nutrition, and hydration.
