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

#082—  I will never ever open up my chain again to clean it

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.

#081—  3 days of exercising, I thought this is my limit

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.

#080—  I’m back in the mountain bike business

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.

#07 9—  I guess I will rename this podcast !

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

#07 8—  5 things I didn’t knew about mountain biking

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 ...

#07 7—  Will I ever be able to ride again?

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

#07 6—  Being inconsistent showed me something interesting

 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

#07 5—  When technology takes a break

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

#07 4—  Maxx Bike Eldorado

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

#073 —  How intense training can make you sick (+ easy solution)

In this episode I share 2 things with you which messed with me on the first maximum interval session: lack of focus when cars where near me + the cold The temperature said ok but it felt freezing cold. The cars kind of need that much attention that my focus gets dragged away from my legs. Furthermore I explain why doing those 2 weeks of training is pretty difficult in the beginning. Don’t be shy, say hi! :) Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher

#72 —  No matter how much I exercise adopting a new routine is difficult

 Things happen. Such as recording an episode a day late :D In this episode, I talk about how my reference ride after 3 weeks of intensive interval training went. I can tell you I did my improve my time but the result I got was not that trustworthy.  Furthermore, I learned an extremely valuable lesson: always question your current actions. In my case: Not pedaling as hard to be able to ride the whole ride. Listen to this episode to find out why the result was questionable and what “questioning yourself” can do for you. Don’t be shy, say hi! :) Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher

#71 —  Question your inner beliefs

  Today was “reference ride” Sunday. As I needed some trail action not only for me but also on camera I went for a longer ride on Saturday. One of the best rides ever.  Awesome new trail right next to where I live which I didn’t know combined with a beautiful sunset. I wanted to do the reference ride on Monday but there was one thing which would happen on Monday which would make it impossible to do. More details in this episode Don’t be shy, say hi ! :) Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher

#70 —  Being fit is only fun when you don’t exercise

This episode sums up everything what I did so far for all the new listeners. What the current training is like, which routine I’ve created. I share the story of me reducing the uphill time by 21 minutes. Yes, 21 minutes after only 6 months.  I share how the active rest day which I did in the last few days work. Or if they even worked as expected ?! More evidence will follow on the next episode, after the reference ride. Don’t be shy, say hi ! :) Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher

#69 —  Always put your feeling above the data (Here is why)

Today's ride has been affected by something I didn’t experience in a long time. Sleep deprivation. I only slept 5h rather than 7-7,5h which I normally do. In this episode I talk about all the negative aspects not only during today's ride but also those which I’ve experienced throughout the day. The stats as usual don’t lie :/  Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher

#68 —  Don’t mess with your sleep, or it will mess with you
