Podcasts about Svein

This is a repost of a conversation I had with Svein Tuft last year after he crushed the BCEPIC 1000 in 2 days and 2 hours. Svein is currently in second place on the 2025 Tour Divide and is in solid contention to setting a new record.My buddy Michael brought it to my attention that many might not know who this unassuming athlete is or his background and this podcast covers that.I hope you enjoy this repost.---------In this episode I have a chat with Svein Tuft, winner of the BC Epic 1000. Svein shattered the record riding 1,044 km with almost 12,000 m of ascent in a time of 2 days and 2 hours.Svein is a retired Canadian road cyclist who competed professionally from 2005 to 2019. He rode for several teams, including Symmetrics, Garmin–Transitions, SpiderTech–C10, Mitchelton–Scott, and Rally UHC Cycling. Tuft won the 2006–07 UCI America Tour and claimed thirteen titles at the Canadian Road Cycling Championships: twice in the road race and eleven times in the time trial.We chat about his childhood, his draw to doing hard things, what is was like riding as a professional cyclist and what drew him to unsupported bikepack racing, which is quite a departure from the pro tour but something that he has fallen in love with.Huge thanks to Mannmade Cycles for sponsoring the My Back 40 PodcastSave 25% at Dynamic Cyclist when you use the promo code MB40 at checkout.Save 15% at Redshift Sports when you use the code MB40Save 50% off your first month of coaching at Cycling 101 when you use the code MB40 at checkout.Thanks to Spandex Panda for their support.Thanks to Lakeside Bikes in Invermere for keeping me rolling!

For en FEST av en episode. Ingen overraskelse det med FESTival-legenden Svein Bjørge på besøk. Mannen som i hine hårde våkna med en kvittering i lomma som lød på, hold deg fast: 138 Fernet Branca! Fernet-fylla til tross, Bjørge har klart å legge bak seg en vanvittig karriere, fra heimbrent-grossist til kulturhussjef. Her får du være med på store deler av reisen - innom den gode, gamle platebransjen og Roskilde-forelskelsen som førte til flere norske festivaleventyr som Tons of Rock og Steinkjerfestivalen.Sistnevnte hadde Motörhead på plakaten i 2007 og her forteller Svein om Kindereggene på Lemmy Kilmisters rider og jakten på kompetente strippere i Nord-Trøndelag. Det gikk visst ikke så bra.Velkommen på FEST!

Denne episoden handler om å handle på auksjon. Små og store råd kommer fra Heini og Svein, med spørsmål fra lytterne som bakgrunnsteppe. Hvorfor er fyllhøyden viktig? Hva er det med auksjonssyken, og hvorfor må man drikke moden vin? Er moden vin nødvendigvis bedre enn nyere vin? Heini er lett å fyre opp om emnet. Hosted on Acast.

This is a cheeky bonus excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo. You won't want to miss these exclusive chats dropping throughout the 2025 season! This episode from the Chronicles is a sneak peek into how my Life in the Peloton  and Svein's incredible 'We Will Never Be Here Again' books came to life. In this special snippet, I'm joined by my mate (and co-author) Tom Southam as we dig into the early days of writing the book together—back when we were just two mates sitting down in Girona, recording hours of stories. It's raw, honest, and a real behind-the-scenes look at how it all began. Cheers! Mitch

Svein Falzon @genet1cAnomaly, from world's biggest 20 year old to now 2 years later… Just because we see an online persona, doesn't mean we know who someone may really be in person. While meme'd the biggest 20 year old by Larry Wheels and others… Whatever it was that got him to use ped's, with others realizing his potential before hand and with absolutely nothing to lose, committing his everything to this path seems the only light at the end of the tunnel to make enough money to get his mom and himself out of this hell hole and achieve his dreams at the same time.Watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR7YRb0DBhIJoin the Bodybuilding-friendly HRT Clinic - Get professional medical guidance on your health as a bodybuilder:[ Pharma Test, IGF1, Tesamorelin, Glutathione, BPC, Semaglutide, Var troche, etc]https://transcendcompany.com/patient-intake-form/?ls=Nyle+NaygaPlease share this episode if you liked it.

This is a cheeky bonus excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo. You won't want to miss these exclusive chats dropping throughout the 2025 season! Sveino and I are back for another episode of the Life In The Peloton Chronicles. I absolutely love getting so sit down and catch up with my old mate for an hour or two each month, and this month's pod is a banger.  Svein's always been a guy I look up to for a whole heap of reasons. Sure, he was an absolute weapon on the bike - that goes without saying - but I've always admired the way he goes about things off the bike, too. He's a real deep thinking guy who prioritises a clean and healthy lifestyle and a deep respect for the natural world - so I handed the reins over this month to learn more about his mindset and lifestyle. I have really fond memories of racing alongside Svein back in the Greenedge days. He was a great guy to be around in the races and someone I learnt a lot from. One of the first pieces of this holistic ‘grounding' that Svein showed me and the team was making sure we all got our shoes off and got a bit of time spent barefoot on the grass to really connect with the Earth, and whenever we got the chance, we'd jump in the ocean; something else Svein is really passionate about. We talk about the importance of looking after your body whilst also respecting the natural order of things, and the impact a lot of bad modern habits can have on a person. Svein's knowledge about things like circadian rhythms, solar callouses, and more is incredible, and I always come away from chats like this with a new found motivation to live a healthier, more wholesome lifestyle. Hopefully you do, too.  This ep is really insightful, and I think we can all learn a lot from Svein. He's also just dropped his brand new book called ‘We Will Never Be Here Again', which is all about his adventures in cycling; from the wilderness to the Tour de France. It's an absolutely incredible read, and makes me think back to the crazy stories Svein would tell over the dinner table when we were away racing together. If you love listening to Svein, get yourself a copy and get stuck into it because it's absolutely loaded with some great insight into what makes Svein tick. Grab a herbal tea for this one, and listen closely. Hopefully, you come away from this one having learnt something and feeling a little bit more enlightened.  Cheers! Mitch

This is a cheeky bonus excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo. You won't want to miss these exclusive chats dropping throughout the 2025 season! It's been a long, cold winter, but Svein and I are back for the 2025 season with a fresh ep of Life In The Peloton: Chronicles for you - the Pelo members.  Just like when we were pro cyclists, which feels like a long time ago now, we had ourselves a little off season to reset, freshen up, and make plans for the next year. It was great to catch up with Sveino for the first time since October, and this month we're talking all about kicking off a new season as a rider. That mental reset is just as important as the physical one, and after a little break, Sveino and I are itching to get going! Things have changed a lot since we were riders. Back in our day, we had a relaxed start to the racing season; plenty of base miles over the winter, then rock up to Tour Down Under ready to get some intensity in the legs and build towards the first “real” races in the Spring. Sveino even rode 2000km from Canada to California for an early season team camp in 2003 to build some fitness after a winter relaxing out in the snow and skiing rather than riding! I love hearing Sveino's wild, adventurous stories - he's like the original Lachy Morton. Nowadays, early season races like the Tour Down Under are real targets for a lot of riders. Whether it's a team hunting UCI points to avoid relegation, neo pros that need to start getting experience in the bunch with the big boys, or legendary riders targeting San Remo in March that want some race KMs in their legs before their competitors back in Europe. We've just had the 25th edition of the race, and I was down in Adelaide getting stuck into the action in the commentary booth, at the roadside, and - of course - behind the pod mic, catching up with some old mates. Svein and I listened back to some great chats with our old mates Michael Hepburn, Luke Durbridge, Sam Bewley, and Aaron Gate about the Tour Down Under and how it can set a rider up for the season ahead.  I also caught up with a guy I used to love spinning a yarn with in the bunch; the president of the CPA, Adam Hansen. We spoke about the new UCI rules that will impact the races this season. New feedzone regulations, changes to time gaps if you crash in the final, and the introduction of yellow cards for multiple infractions - it's going to keep the riders on their toes this year, that's for sure.   As always, Svein and I chat about a heap of other topics - with plenty of anecdotes from our time in the bunch and the years since we both hung up the race wheels. I love telling these stories, and I hope you love hearing them. Cheers! Mitch

Kyrre Andreassen er en av våre aller fremste forfattere. Med romaner som Svendsens Catering og For øvrig mener jeg at Karthago bør ødelegges har han begeistret både lesere og kritikere med sin språklige finesse og humor. Karakterene hans er ofte mistilpassede og lett aggressive, men dypt troverdige. Det skyldes ikke minst Andreassens umiddelbare og muntlige språk, som også rommer det såre og smertefulle.I høst er Andreassen aktuell med sin første roman på åtte år. Ikke mennesker jeg kan regne med følger Linda Hansen, en middelaldrende tobarnsmor som inntil nylig var gift med bilselgeren Svein, til han en dag forteller at han har mistet følelsene for henne – mens han tiner en pirog i mikrobølgeovnen. Den mange år yngre Veronika Hagen har kapret Sveins hjerte.Linda føler at livet har løpt fra henne. Den rasende indre monologen gir et portrett av et menneske som står midt i en sorg og en livskrise, men med et presserende behov for selvhevdelse og hevn. Samtidig forstår leseren at Lindas versjon av hendelsene kanskje ikke alltid kan tas for god fisk.En av dem som har fulgt Andreassens forfatterskap hele veien, er forfatterkollega Marie Aubert. Nå møtes Aubert og Andreassen til en samtale om livsløgn og hevn, ensomhet og sannhet. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is a short excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo. It's finally here! The Big Show! The Tour de France. The biggest bike race in the world is about to kick off, and to celebrate the spectacle Svein and I are talking all about Grand Tours on this week's Chronicles.  21 stages of racing over 3 weeks with millions of eyes watching; Grand Tours are the toughest races in cycling. Between myself and Svein, we've been on the start of 21 Grand Tours! Although I never made it to Le Tour, I did a handful of Vueltas and a couple of Giros, too - so I've got a pretty good idea of what it takes to suffer around a country for the best part of a month. Sveino and I wanted to share our own experiences of racing Grand Tours throughout our own careers, but I also wanted to draw on some riders from earlier generations to see how much they've changed over the years.  I wanted to speak to someone who has seen what it's like at the front of a Grand Tour first hand, so first up I chatted to an Aussie legend; Phil Anderson. Phil turned pro in 1980 with team Peugeot and spent a day in the Yellow Jersey in his first Tour de France! The next year he finished 5th overall, bagged himself a stage win, spent 9 stages wearing the leader's jersey, and went home with the White Jersey for the best young rider! He went on to finish in the top 10 for 5 years in a row, and completed 13 Tours de France over a 15 year career.  It's safe to say there aren't many people out there with more experience than Phil. We chatted about racing Grand Tours in the 1980s and 90s, and I was surprised to hear how much more relaxed it was back then. Next, I spoke to Stuart O'Grady. Stuey's a rider I really look up to, and his career was just winding down as mine was kicking off. I was even lucky enough to call him a team mate for a year on Greenedge in 2013. O'Grady won 2 road stages of the Tour, and 2 more in the Team Time Trial but, as a Sprinter, he had to spend the rest of the time muscling over mountains to make time cut.  Svein and I also chat about our own experiences. From the stress and excitement of our Grand Tour debuts, to the moment it all ‘clicked' and we figured out how to get the most out of a ‘grandie'. The sanctuary of the team bus, the chaos of traveling around for a month as a small part of a big rolling circus, finding the best cannoli and parmesan in Italy or the best jamón in Spain, and heaps more.  This ep is packed full of stories, and I loved reliving some great memories with my old mate. Get yourself in the mood for Le Tour and give this a listen!  Cheers! Mitch
