In this episode of Fireside Chat, we sit down with Loehr Young—an endurance athlete whose story is rooted in resilience, self-discovery, and joy. Known as @LoehrYoung on social media, he calls himself “a runner by talent, but a cyclist by heart,” and his journey lives up to that motto.
Loehr shares how a childhood love for BMX evolved into a deep passion for mountain biking, photography, and purpose-driven racing. But his story isn’t just about sport—it’s about survival. After nearly losing his life to alcohol addiction, Loehr made a courageous comeback. Now approaching eight years of sobriety, he opens up about the day he chose the bike over fear and began rebuilding his life from the pedals up.
This conversation dives into the mindset of recovery, the emotional strength it takes to return to sport, and the philosophy that powers Loehr’s racing style: all gas, no brakes. He also introduces his “4% concept,” encouraging others to dedicate just one hour a day to what fuels them.
Whether you're chasing a finish line or just trying to find your spark, this episode is a reminder that it’s never too late to redefine your journey.
