Biking

My go to way to gain endurance. Biking allows for gains while having almost no stress on joints and bones and offers a huge variety of training options and riding experiences.

As biking is quite time consuming my approach circles around ideas on how to integrate biking seamlessly into my daily business.

Another aspect I find interesting that indoor cycling allows for easy and objective measurements of watts, heart rates, lactate and blood sugar levels. As this can all be done at home it opens up a world of data in which I can analyze not only performance but also health related indicators like metabolic flexibility.

Benefits

  • Fun and recreation

  • Cardio vascular health

  • Methabolic flexibility

 

Running

Running is for sure the easiest way to implement endurance training in your daily life.

And if I could - I would… run much more. Yet, since I have longer term ankle issues my personal target is pretty much to get into a basic routine again and be able to enjoy some public runs per year as I really enjoy that.

Benefits

  • Fun and camaradery

  • Easy to integrate whenever and wherever

  • Fosters creativity in finding work arounds to highly impacted joints 😁

 

Swimming

My swimming follows simply the as much as possible approach

Sometimes also good to use if no other endurance sport works due to injuries (arms only with pully)

Hiking

Just as a reminder at this point - I want to go hiking again! Who would like to join 😉 Please contact me!
