MOLLY HURFORD
Writing, speaking + moving
I'm a creator in love with all things cycling, running, nutrition and movement-related. When not outside, I'm almost definitely writing about being outside or interviewing other athletes.
I created The Consummate Athlete weekly podcast, website and book, Becoming A Consummate Athlete with my husband, cycling coach Peter Glassford.
I'm a little obsessed with getting people—especially women—psyched on adventure and being outside. That's why I created the Shred Girls, a young adult fiction series and online community focused on getting girls excited about bikes. I also run the Business of Fitness Podcast, focusing on bringing more women into the athletic industry.
Most recently, I founded Strong Girl Publishing to tell more stories of young girls in sport, all written by young women athletes.
Additionally, I'm the author of multiple nonfiction books and write for publications including Bicycling magazine +Outside.
I regularly host talks and runs clinics for cyclists and teaches yoga online and IRL… And in my spare time, I'm ultra-running and racing on trails, riding bikes, or hiking with my mini-dachshund DW.
