This 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.

Saturday 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.

Todays 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.

In 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.

This 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.

In 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 ?

In 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.

In 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.

This 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.

In 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.
