Episode 27
Show notes
Episode 27 of Inside The Race – The MyWhoosh Racing Podcast Sprinting Special - how to get it right with 2 MyWhoosh sprint experts!
In this show we dive deep into the world of sprinting, reflect on our ability or lack of it to sprint and pick the brains of 2 real sprint experts with 2 really insightful, informative and thought provoking interviews …
Dorancy Goonzalez-Rua – a veteran of 200 SRC races, known for her ability to sprint repeatedly time and time again to win intermediate sprints and green jerseys while keeping the race face dialled and Marius Foseid – a master of staying unseen and keeping everything for the final kick where he times unleashing the power to take the win at the end of the stage or race.
So much to take home from this that no matter what level you are at we are sure there is something to learn for everyone – if you want to improve your sprint so you can get your hands in the air as you come over the line then this is the show for you!

Episode 17
Show notes
Episode 17 of Inside The Race – The MyWhoosh Racing Podcast is our last look at the MyWhoosh Championships for 2026 and we take a very different dive into the numbers….

While Matt & Hayley have fun guessing the results, Emma has been number crunching with Jakub of MyWhooshInfo to whom a huge thank you is owed for all of his work!
Its certainly a different way of looking at the race!
