In this episode I talk about the last ride for next couple of days as I’m taking a break not only from mountain biking but also from work etc. I talk about how my perception of the rides isn’t really matching with the data. Very Strange.  Furthermore I share the story which has been caused by the derailleur. Which is probably not assembled properly by me. -.- Furthermore I share a story about how I opened my chain once to clean it. It didn’t end well after 6 months of riding. Try not to make the same mistake. Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher

On Friday I did my usual training, on Saturday I thought it will be a rest day but I went for a 6k run and obviously I did my training today on Sunday. I thought I won’t be able to keep up my normal pace today but it seems like since running and biking are two completely different movements for my legs this wasn’t the case at all. Listen to this episode to find out how the training on Wednesday, the training on Friday and the training today on Sunday was any different. I would have guessed wrong.

In this episode I talk about finding an alternative route.Since 3 weeks my “old” exercising route is covered with icy parts. You will be surprised who simple the alternative will be, to be honest it is so simple I was completely blind to it for more than 2 weeks. Furthermore I talk about how the ride on the new route went, I thought 2 weeks of casually running would be the same as not exercising at all but the results look quite promising.

This episode is all about how the interval training session will continue and what the latest running sessions have been about. I’m honestly considering to rename the podcast to match my future ambitions. Check out this episode to see understand the next steps I will make with this podcast. Furthermore I share my last 5k, the time it took me, the pace I was running and which “trick” I’m using to run consistently at the more or less same pace without checking my watch for the pace.

This episode is all about 5 things I didn’t knew before I started out mountain biking. And I wish I knew those thing. I learned them either from friends or the hard way :D And I share quickly why I’m currently not able to ride my bike. p.s. at the beginning you can tell that I recorded this episode early in the morning :D Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher

In this episode I talk about how the weather forced me to skip the training session on last Friday. Actually I forgot that to check the weather … Besides that I talk about the hard decision I had to make today. And how going up the hill by care was part of that … Let’s hope things get better in the next few days, but I think I found an alternative already ...

In this episode I share with you the wardrobe choices I made on the last few rides. As the temperature isn’t always the same, I had to adopt. Find out what worked for me and what didn’t. Furthermore I tried to compare my last 5 rides on a deeper level. As I had the feeling that the breaks in between each interval made the rides uncomparable. Then I discovered that one ride was particular well with an extreme high average speed in the intense intervals. I looked through all available data only to discover that the answer was only visible in my journal. Listen to this episode to find out what made me ride that fast and even exceed my maximum heart rate zone by 2 bpm. Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher

 On this ride I struggled a lot. Not from a physical perspective but technology-wise. GPS not working, HR strap not working, bike light not charged to the max. While all these little helpers haven’t been working, I had to rely on my feelings and sensation.  Don’t be shy, say hi! :) Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher

You might have noticed that I skipped one session on Tuesday. This was due to an important meeting I had to do. I used the down time to visit my favorite bike shop Maxx Bike Eldorado. They serviced my bike in a proper way. I want to say thanks again for all the things they exchanged: braking pads, disc rotors, the cassette, the smallest chainring on the front, the oil in both brakes, the chain. Furthermore I talk about the ride on the 23rd of January. Cold but not too cold. And how the 2 days of rest affected it in a very positive way. Don’t be shy, say hi! :) Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher

In this episode I share with you the big insight I got in the last few weeks from being sick in mid December. I found out that exercising is generally good for my health but extreme and intensive exercising can lead to much more sick days. Luckily I talked with my friends about this and one of them had a pretty simple solution as he experiences the same thing as I did. Getting sick from too much training. I share with you the secret he shared with me. Train hard without the risk of getting sick. Don’t be shy, say hi! :) Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher
