In this episode I talk about the heavy storm which hit the Alps

from Monday to Tuesday, uprooting trees, flooding villages etc.

I already new that there will be a lot of fallen branches on the trail and probably a few smaller trees which have been uprooted and blocking the trail.

But when I came to ride the trail itself I was shocked.

I didn't excpected it to be that bad.

Let's see how long it takes to get the trail "ridable" again.

More details about the desctruction level in this episode.

On my last ride I had to face it: It was raining for one and a half day straight

I couldn't skip the interval training. That was no option and will never be an option.

I talk about how I managed not to get wet,

besides that I talk about what my main focus will be on the next rides,

why I assumed that I will perform worse than I did.

Very interestingly a pattern which I noticed lately keeps repeating

itself over and over again.

The pattern relates to my overall performance,

where putting in more effort will result in worse results as if you change that one little thing.

Furthermore I talk about "the connection" which I guess have lost throughout the last year

or probably never had.

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.

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.

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 why I messed up and didn't kept my promise I made to you,

and why I didn't published an episode the last few days.

Furthermore I talk about how the alternative exercise during the business trip turned out

how different it was in contrast to mountain biking in the woods

and what discovery I made which will probably affect me until next Monday.

At the end I share with you a thought I'm carrying around since a few weeks

which will intensive my training a lot.

And which will require huge goals to achieve.

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)

In this episode I talk about how huge of a difference it can make if you share you goals with likeminded people who share the same passion.

Furthermore I talk about how the ride went and how an upcoming business trip will challange my in a completely new way.

Check out this episode to find out how I'm takling the training during the business trip, how my rear tire is make problems at the beginning of each ride.

Besides that I've experienced a completely new feeling, a very strange type of focus.

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.

In this episode I talk about how the warm up is getting easier and easier, why the temeperatures in Octobers are still that high, why I try to think back when my stamina was the best to reuse pricinples which I have given up and what the benefits/disadvantages are of choosing a higher gear
