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.

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.

Being consistent with my training isn’t always easy. Particularly if the wind is blowing like crazy and the temperature around 2°C (35,6°F). But I knew that I’ve committed to train to ride faster than I did with the eBike back in May. I went for the ride and it was as every other ride. Perfect temperatures, at least for me, a good training pace and the wind wasn’t even blowing that hard on “my uphill”.

As I've been sick 2 weeks ago and still not feel 100% good again I didn't went for a ride since. As my epsiodes usually are in synch with my training I haven't posted since then. This epsiode is different. I don't talk about my latest ride are there is no last ride. This episode is about the disccovery I made while and because of me being sick. I discovered that there is a connecting between my last ride episode 062 - LSD is hell of a drug and my illness. Furthermore I discovered that my resting heart rate was already predicting my illness days before it actually happen. This sent me down a rabit hole of research to learn more about my body, my heart rate and what the so called "open window" effect has to do with it. My research has only began and I'm light years away from being an expert.

This ride started already "well" at home. I had all of my gear except a few key pieces in the laundry so I had to find some alternatives, resulting in a pretty awesome style :D . But it worked out better than I thought, even better as before ? It resulted even in a performance improvement. . I exceeded 180 beats per minute and was able to improve my riding performance on the first interval, which was the complete opposite if you compare it to the second interval. . And then comes the third interval. It started off well no pedaling on the flat section but pure uphill fun. It was extremely hard but I thought: "Why mess it up now after putting in all the work on the previous intervals ?!" . I was so focused towards the end that I had a pretty strange experiencing. I wasn't able to recognize my surrounding even after riding this uphill for pobably more than 30 times. In this episode I talk about how that happened. I assume taking drugs makes you feel similar. . . .......................................................................................

It is time again. For another reference ride. After doing the interval training in the intense hearrate zone (in my case: hearrate below 168 bpm and above ~140) I had to choose the "old" uphill as the new uphill was only 2,2km as a construction site is blocking it from there on. Nonetheless the uprooted trees after the heavy storm I rode the old uphill, but it was more or less safe to ride. As I haven't ridden this uphill since 3 weeks I had a hard time pacing myself. As if I'm messing it up in the beginning it is hard to recover afterwards if not impossible.

Often times I go for a ride and I think, well I have nothing to share with you but this concept is following me now since more than half a year. . First of all I thought I would be scared riding in the dark, alone in the forest. But I found the complete opposite to be true. And this made me think why that is like it is. . And therefore I came to the conlusion that we often times think way to much of what could go wrong etc. I tend to think about things which then never happen. .

#040 - Changing 20 year old habits is hard

In this episode I talk about how the construction side which is still going on has cost me a lot of stamina so far, but I also have to admit that I'm partially responsible for that. Beeing more present is still a big topic in my life and I try to apply it to more and more areas of my life, including mountain biking. So far I cannot say if it helps or not but here I talk about what my assumptions are for the next few weeks on what to expect from this thesis testing. Furthermore I'm still uncertain how important the active restday is to my training, as it looks like if I'm skipping one session the next ride isn't as good as if I would have done the active restday training. .......................................................................................

#039 - You don't know this if you never have been in the mountains

In this episode I talk about a very unique weather phenomenon which you only experience in the mountains, and even there it is rare. It changed the riding conditions by 180°. In my favor. To be specific; the complete opposite to the ride 2 days ago. Besides that I talk about on a new experiment I'm currently trying to figure out one thing which looks like was holding my performance back since my birth. Furthermore I talk about the downhill experience after my crash which will benefit not only me in the long term. Another point I'm talking about is the fact that the trail is perfectly ridable if this one thing will be done. I still have to talk to the guy in charge who will make it happen. .......................................................................................

#038 - Thinking is the enemy

In this episode I talk about my last ride which had it all. Beautiful scenery due to the autumn colors and a crash. I try to reconstruct how that could have happened on a trail which I rode probably a million times. Furthermore I talk about how the crash is related to a book I'm currently reading. Besides that I talk about a recurring thought I'm always having which quickly vanished when I actually get to tride my bike. And yesterday, the 22nd of October was the very first day of Autumn in my opinion. 15°C/59°F made me overthink about what to wear on this ride. .......................................................................................

In this episode I talk about new methods to improve my pace which I didn't consider before and have basicaly nothing to do with the training itself. I talk about how the forst road killed my pace and I had a hard time recovering from exagerating before. Absolutely strange is the fact that looking at the stats my app recorded don't match my reality while I was riding. Besides that I found something in my stats which will extend the interval training until march (5 months to go) .......................................................................................

#034 - Your assumption about me is completely wrong

In this episode I talk about how starting 15 minutes later made a huge difference for my overall ride and what the uphill is currently like. ---------------------------- Furthermore I have to revoke a statement which I made in one of the last episodes as today it turned out not to be true anymore. (amazing how fast my body is adapting) ---------------------------- I talk about how a foam roller or black roll is a good way to "repair" your muscles from within to increase their mobility. ---------------------------- And then I talk about that you probably assume that after riding every other day the interval are getting easier. Which is completely wrong. I also talk about how I use a certain emotion to get better and push trough the hard parts. ---------------------------- Also an important part since the last few days is my new mindest which keeps me pushing further than anybody else even if things get harder. ---------------------------- And todays lesson was: From now on always bring a bike light, I'm talking about the reasons for that and what it has to do with the italian law on this episode. ---------------------------- Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher (Link in Instagram Bio)
