On this week’s episode, we’re joined by NBA legend and longtime WHOOP member Reggie Miller. Reggie was named to the All Star team 5 times in his 18-year career. Since retiring, he’s become a commentator for TNT and a college basketball analyst for CBS Sports – but he’s also added another sport to his resume: cycling. He picked up mountain biking in 2000 and has since turned to the competitive circuit. An ever athlete, it’s no surprise that Reggie is still to this day finding ways to optimize his habits, understand his patterns of behavior, and fine tune his body’s performance.
