#062 - LSD is hell of a drug
11/12/2018 Duração: 08minThis 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. . . ..................................................

#061 - ONE thing which has to be built and cannot be transfered
09/12/2018 Duração: 06minMore and more I figure out that doing sports and improving fitness is more about mindest and your mental health than your body alone. It all starts and ends with your mindset. Your mind starts and your body will follow. I learned this now more and more through different experiences which I've shared in episode #44 - 4 things why YOU are not improving and episode #058 - THIS training mindset is key for me. . Right now my biggest struggle is to transfer the mindset and workethik I've developed around mountain biking and the project13 to other parts of my life. . In this episode I try to think about some possible solutions. . . .......................................................................................

#060 - The one thing which will make YOU successful (not only on your MTB)
07/12/2018 Duração: 06minFrom the beginning on this was an average ride. Sure I was some sort of able to fix my leg warmer problem but the ride is self was nothing special. Maxing out didn't work as expected but the result where still good. Even though the ride was average I taught me probably the most important life lesson ever. . And therefore this episode is more of a philosophical episode. . As I've found the one thing which leads to success. I was and I am guilty of the analysis paralisis, which means like doing research on how to do it for way to long without taking action. . In this episode I talk about the one and only thing which sets successful people apart from normal people. . This is so key but yet so simple. . . ....................................................................................... Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher (Link in Instagram Bio)

#059 - People think I am a car
04/12/2018 Duração: 06minIn this episode I talk about what I was focusing on to get the best result. At least at this moment I think that I've found the ultimate way to feel awesome after each ride and maintain a very good improvement of my stamina. As usual my right leg warmer was sliding down after the first km but I guess I found a solution (but not the reason so far :D ) Today was probably also the very first time I reached 180 bpm during a ride. This is probably my maximum. I talk about how I was able to have the best intervals (I and III) but messed up interval II. And today happened something pretty funny: People don't fully grasp what I am when they see me during the ride: a car ? a motorcycle ? a unicorn ? Who knows. ....................................................................................... Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher (Link in Instagram Bio)

#058 - THIS training mindest is key for me
02/12/2018 Duração: 05minToday it was cold. At least I thought that at the beginning. But after a few meter it felt perfectly warm. As usual a pure mindest thing. Strangely the warmup today felt pretty easy even while maintaining a good pace. Already results ? Besides that I talk about my approach during training and how you can change your training in order to make you invincible during the race day or on days where it counts to outpreform everybody. At the end I share with you how I expected yesterdays crash on the trail to affect my training. But luckily it wasn't even though a few parts of my body are still hurting. All the details about the crash on this podcast episode. .......................................................................................

#057 - Do THIS to feel awesome after your ride
30/11/2018 Duração: 04minIn this episode I talk about how it is to ride in the cold which kind of struggles have followed me along the way during my winter rides. How I was able to not track part of todays ride and how the new interval training approach is affecting the feeling after the ride. I share one little secret which will make you enjoy your rides 10x more than before. (Spoiler: The joy comes up after the ride not during the ride :D ) Btw. Sorry for the bad audio, I have no idea what I've messed up today .......................................................................................

#056 - Back to reality
27/11/2018 Duração: 05minAs mentioned yesterday I wanted to redo the reference ride as I thought yesterdays performance wasn't the best I could do. Todays focus was on not exagerating on the steep section in the middle to preserve some energy for the last section. I was able to save some energy there and I felt quite fast. But looking at the numbers the result was disillusioning. Not even the same time. But thats probably caused by two main "issues" So I will stay with the time from yesterday. Furthermore I will share why I won't put out another episode until Friday. Real life "problems" :D .......................................................................................

#055 - Maxing out hasn't worked out today
25/11/2018 Duração: 05minIt 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. I talk about this in greater detail in this episode and I also reveal if I was able to improve the time. p.s. recodring a podcast episode with a hiccup is difficult :D .......................................................................................

#054 - Don't think, DO !
24/11/2018 Duração: 04minThe rides become more and more the same but I've found a topic which is quite interesting in my opinion. 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. . For me it looks like having a basic idea and then executing it immediately is the best solution. As we don't know if something works out or not or if we like something or not unless we have tried it out. . This applies to so many aspect of my life. And I hope this is something you can benefit from as I do. ....................................................................................... Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Sch

#053 - Mediocre results are for others
21/11/2018 Duração: 05minFirst I thought this ride will be as the rides before but it wasn't. It was colder than usual but not too cold. I encountered a hind (female deer). And before even starting I didn't felt like riding today. All in all I pushed through and I share with you what keeps me going even at 3°C/38°F. The next few weeks will be fun as I plan to ride through out the whole winter as I've set one goal for myself. Which is a non negotiable. ....................................................................................... Instagram: georg1sc YouTube: Georg Schwienbacher (Link in Instagram Bio)

#052 - How to increase your endurance without exercising
19/11/2018 Duração: 05minThis ride has be probably the coldest ride temperature wise, but not feeling wise. I had to take a little bit different approach to the uphill as there was a smaller obstacle which I had to pass. Furthermore I talk which learning I was holding back (unintentionally) for the last month. The lesson involves a technique on how to save energy while increasing your pace. I see this problem a lot especially on riders who are riding every now and then. You are capable of much more than you think. This tip can be easily applied and brings instant results. .......................................................................................

#051 - The sound of silence
17/11/2018 Duração: 05minSaturday is always different. As I'm not forced to ride after 17:00 I can ride whenever I want. So I decided to go for a ride right after lunch to benefit from the warm sunrays. That meant: Changing the uphill from one side of the valley to the other In the episode I talk about what was different and why I only was able to ride 3,7km in 30 minutes. Besides that I talk about what I like to do at the end of a ride if I have some spare time. .......................................................................................

#050 - How water is affecting your ride
16/11/2018 Duração: 05minTodays was the first time where it actualy was cold (5°C / 41°F) In this episode I talk about how big the temeprature difference was down in the valley and up in the mountains and how it felt. Furthermore I forgot 2 of the most important things: Charging up my rear light and bringing water. But this made me think ! When do I actualy have/should drink during my ride ? Before, during or after the ride ?! I share my experience with that, but this is another topic where I have to do some investigation and then try it out ! Besides that we celebrate the 50th episode of the podcast ! Amazing, thank you all for your support. .......................................................................................

#049 - Do this to your muscles [instant results]
14/11/2018 Duração: 06minIn this episode I talk about how the riding feels when you are lit like an american christmas tree. How the air got colder (extremely warm until now for this month of the year) Furthermore I share with you some boring stats about my ride. I was able to ride further in the warmup due to this reason share in the episode. Besides that I started again doing this "thing" to my muscles which brought my instant results. My legs have been hurting but in a very pleasurable way. Furthermore I share with you my new camera accessory which will give me the ability to capture some unique shots in the future. .......................................................................................

#048 - My average heart rate blew me away
12/11/2018 Duração: 07minThis ride was completely different. As I've never ridden this uphill before in "race conditions" it was a challange to pace myself correctly. Steeper and flatter sections made it hard to riding consistently at the maximum possible. Having a heart rate monitor helped a lot to be consistent. My aim was to push as hard as I could for this specific distance which meant I had to perform in my maxmimum hearrate zone. When I finsish the ride I checked the stats. The average heart rate through out the ride completely blew me away. .......................................................................................

#047 - It was hurting
10/11/2018 Duração: 06minIn this episode I talk about how not taking care of my "security gear" almost made me quit for yesterdays training session. I had to find an alternative to make the trianing happen either way. No excuses !. It showed me how necessary 3000 lumes are for a safe ride through the night. Besides that my legs have been hurting half way in the ride. I have no clue where this comes from. A very rare feeling especially in the last few weeks. My new watch keeps getting better and better as I'm discovery more and more handy features to support my journey to beat the eBike time. Will the new uphill which has this one little difference help me achieve it ? .......................................................................................

#046 - Another thing which isn't true
07/11/2018 Duração: 04minIn this episode I talk about what the training effect on my watch is saying about my ride, furthermore I share some stats about todays ride which are currently completely not comparable to the last 2 months of training as I have very few data points on this particular uphill. Besides that I did some research on the heart rate zones and it looks like I've found something which I thought to be true but isn't. .......................................................................................

#045 - I thought it was over. WRONG !
06/11/2018 Duração: 06minIn this episode I talk about why I had to completely resturcture my training by choosing a different uphill route. Besides that I got to know my new watch which is recording my hear rate and other fancy metrics a little better. Which means a gazzillion more ways to have better insight in my riding but it also has its downside during the training, but I've figured out already a solution for that. For now I thought that the interval training expirment will be done and I've figured out the best method so far. But it looks like there could be an additional way to improve my riding performance even more. Check out the current episode to see what this small little detail is. .......................................................................................

#044 - 4 things why YOU are not improving [+ 4 easy solutions]
03/11/2018 Duração: 21minThis is a different episode. No ride log of the latest interval trianing session as I won't be able to ride today, on Saturday the 03rd of November. On this episode I focus on 4 things I've discovered to hold me back while riding. This advice isn't something I collected on several YouTube videos and blogs. This is real life advice which I experienced and tried myself. . You probably aspire to ride that section faster than your friends or you really want to nail that particular trick every time you try it. . I know that feeling. . Here are the 4 things which are holding you back [+ solution]: - Having excuses - Quitting too early - Trying too many things - Trusting other peoples opinion Do me a favor: If you don't listen to the whole episode listen at least to the section at 11:29 this is really key and allowed me to learn 10 times faster. .......................................................................................

#043 - This will change my riding forever
02/11/2018 Duração: 07minIn this episode I talk about how extreme the damage was from the storm a few days ago, and why I decided to go on a different uphill road. Spoiler: I've never seen the forest like this before. Besides that I talk about a nice little gadget I now can use during my ride which ultimately made me a pro (Just kidding I still have to put in the effort, but it will allow me to adapt my training even more to my body type) And I have to admit that I'm probably the worst bike owner of all not just for one reason but for serveral. Check out this episode to get to know my bad habits. . And sorry about the bad quality, it looks like I was recording a lot of noise. I tried my best to filter it out in post production. .......................................................................................
