Fast Talk Femmes Podcast Series Features Top Female Experts, Coaches, and Researchers

January 26, 2023 – Boulder, Colorado, USA /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Fast Talk Laboratories, the fast-growing endurance training and coaching education platform, has launched a new podcast series on its popular Fast Talk podcast feed. Fast Talk Femmes is co-hosted by Julie Young and Dede Barry, both former U.S. National Team cyclists. The series is all about female-specific physiology, biomechanics, training, nutrition, recovery, and psychology aimed at helping female endurance athletes and their coaches perform at a higher level.

Fast Talk Femmes taps world-class experts to cover subjects like performance, nutrition, youth athletic development, and training throughout pregnancy. “This series reveals key factors about female endurance sports performance that are difficult to find anywhere else,” cycling coach and co-host Julie Young said. “We’re looking forward to empowering female athletes and their coaches with the best evidence-based information available. It’s exciting because we’re really just scratching the surface as it relates to the science of how female athletes train and perform.”

Fast Talk Femmes has a guest lineup that is hard to compete with. “As a former professional athlete, I would have soaked up something like this when I was training and racing,” co-host Dede Barry said. “We’re excited to share our knowledge and tap into leading experts in the sports space like Jennifer Sygo, Dr. Dana Lis, Dr. Emily Kraus, Catherine Cram, and Erin Carson.”

Emma-Kate Lidbury, content strategist for Fast Talk Labs and former managing editor of Triathlete, said: “Fast Talk Femmes brings the same level of science you’d expect from Fast Talk but focuses the lens on how women can get fitter, faster, and go farther.”

Fast Talk Femmes has already released two episodes, now available on all major podcasting platforms. New episodes release every other Tuesday, with episode 2 dropping earlier this week, January 24. Learn more or tune in now at www.fasttalklabs.com.
