Interviewed Anna Kiesenhofer back in 2016. A few notes:
-She was a runner whose training was running through meadows between rural towns in Austria
-The Cambridge graduate was dead last in the British university (BUCS) 10 time-trial in 2012, with 34:25. Anything is possible -She would borrow cycling equipment, take trains around Europe and rely on the generosity of strangers to do sportives. She beat all but 11 men in the Gran Fondo Ventoux
-She taught herself training with Allen and Coggan's 'Training and Racing with a Power Meter'
