Wake up, banana and a big glass of water, half an hour ride, shower then breakfast and continue with your day. Can do it every work day and have more "fun" rides with mates all weekend
Here in New Zealand when it was winter for us, I got up and rode from Wednesday to Friday every morning to school, each time I motivated myself to get to school before 8:40 am, this kept me fit throughout the weeks.
I'm getting older. Just turned 46. It's harder to balance all my responsibilities in life (job, wife, kid, hobbies, friends, family, house up keep...) and get out on the bike. This is a great sensible plan for keeping fit in the Winter.
Oli's superb and brings a wealth of real experience. GMBN lacks an XC based presenter, so give the man s job. Along with Neil, Blake and Henry that'd be all the bases covered
Just go out and ride! I ride to get fit and for fun, don't do racing and couldn't care less about competition or records. All about feeling good and having fun for me :) Having to beat a record or achieve a set goal is the ultimate motivation killer for me.
Exactly. When you just love riding your bike for the fun of it you don't need goals or a plan. It just comes naturally. But I understand that not everyone's like that.
I live in Arizona, too, though I tend to ride either early in the morning or in the evening. That can be pretty chilly, especially 30-40°F in the morning.
I'm about to do my first Enduro at Sea Otter. This was very helpful even though I can ride here in CA year-round, I think that structure helps it seem like a less daunting event. I do like Oli because I think he seems very organized about his approaches to performance.
I love that I've just got back from where they are riding, absolutely knacked and searching youtube to improve my fitness - then seeing them both blasting up a climb that nearly killed me. hahah. Time to get training
During the winter I do longer fasts to improve insulin sensitivity, increases HGH naturally and reduce inflammation. Hit classes, yoga and bike 2 times a week longer rides over 2 hrs.
Andrew Rivera Started doing that exactly a year ago due to worsening health, despite loads of exercise. Fasting is easy once the breads, sugars are cut out of diet. I had one of my best rides after breaking a 60 hour fast. Fastest overall speed and lots of PRs and a few trophies on trails I have been hammering on for years. Insulin Sensitivity and HGH increases from fasting really do improve performance. I lost over 60 lbs 224-160 lbs in 5 months and had my best year ever. Ride on.
Rockhead Gary that’s great! I’m on day 5 of an 11 day snake juice fast. Just did a power yoga class and accessory weights just to activate the muscles. All inflammation is gone! just retired, did yearly physical all numbers are perfect and getting ready for the Nepal enduro in April then my daughter and I are gonna trek to Everest base camp!
Thanks great video. Already knew about the S.M.A.R.T targets before from work. However the video reminded me that to take this into sports training in my private live also would be crutial. I am one of the guys with high targets that I am normally not able to fulfill, resulting in some weeks with with demotivating results. I will change my sports targets to more realistic ones that I can consistently fulfill.
Specific: Eat a Twix Measurable: Have I eaten a Twix yet or not? Achievable: Just watch me. Relevant: I was put on this planet to eat Twix, so, heck yeah. Time Based: I have 30 seconds between this box set episode finishing and the next one starting. Just enough. Pleased to be well under way with my winter training 👍
Great video I don't feel very fit at all I'm new to mtb started properly in June last year! I find the climbs the hardest and like my heart is struggling and I have to get off I'm slightly over weight but I get out most weekends for about a 25k ride but I don't think my fitness is improving that much!! Any tips on where I may be going wrong and what I can do to improve my fitness?
Riding MTB at night is badass, especially when u have head light on helmet and bars. But when riding solo at night in the woods it gets very very scary. I live in Chicagoland so I dont know I rode with lout my guns
Winter miles, summer smiles! Love it, thanks! I’m keeping up by commuting everyday and throwing in longer rides when the weather permits.. minus -40 degrees Celsius today so that’s a NO.
I've not been mountain biking for over 20 years. I've found a place about an hours drive away with different graded rides. None of them has jumps but they do increase in technicality. My bike feels really weird (a lot has changed in 20 years). Whilst not exactly measurable I'm planning on using the green, blue and red trails to improve my fitness and skills.
Where are you biking in the winter and looks like this? Tips for people in Canada where 12 feet of snow is the norm? Trails typically are mud from the melting snow in to May or later even.
Hmm these a fancy sounding. I usually ride everywhere day cause I gotta go to the store except when we get a foot or more of snow. Its always hard when I start back up
Well the best thing i did was doing different types of sport like weight lifting and cardio with a changed diet with soja products including alot of vitamine b12 and iron rich groceries like spinach.
i ride for about 24 hours a week and i ride up and down my steep road, but my friends still beat me. i started riding in August last year but still, im getting nowhere
What fox pants are those along with what cycling shoes / pedals do you have on the Nukeproof bike as I currently run with Crankbrothers egg beaters & I’m looking for a replacement. Great tips also
I live in Hong Kong and this is a perpetual problem. I have taken a tip from the roadies and do the fitted tops and tri shorts (less padding so works better for me). I like the Assos jerseys for keeping me cool in the heat and humidity. I hope this helps.
Ditch refined carbs and processed food, eat real whole foods and be consistent with your workouts. Listen to your body. Make your hard workouts hard and your easy workouts easy. Rinse, repeat. With time your problem will be solved. And ffs, don't eat cake under any circumstances.
My motivation to ride isn't to get fit right now. It's to prevent me from losing use of my right leg. I do 5 miles every other day and as it gets warmer it will become 5 miles a day, then 10 miles a day and up until my doctor tells me i'm over doing it.
You guys don't know freezing. We have the damn snow for 6 months, temperatures as low as -45 deg Celsius and the sun is below the horizon for two months. How the hell can i train in the worst winter months.
I got my diet plan from Agoge Diet and lost 2kg in just 10 days. So far, so good. Can't wait to see numbers on scale after 20 more days. I am so excited about this.
don't climb hills I only ride downhill I only ride park I'm on the lift all day And I don't have no chain I only ride park Screw your xc And your 650b I only ride park Im passing all the noobs And I'm still faster than you Verse 1-- I got all the record times I know the secret lines And I never walk my bike Always cuttin' in line I only ride in the summer when the park is open Trails closed for maintenance? Its time for poachin' I don't compete but I act like pro racer

What are your winter training tips?
Global Mountain Bike Network eat as much turkey as possible
Eat Vegan food only!
Running
Wake up, banana and a big glass of water, half an hour ride, shower then breakfast and continue with your day. Can do it every work day and have more "fun" rides with mates all weekend
Turbo trainer setup and a gcn training video 👍
The only tip I remember is: Have a piece of cake
I can really appreciate a lady who enjoys T.I.T.S. as well.
Blake is my favourite hero here
Yeah, and I love his green Nukeproof!
@@speed2live me too
speed2live Blake’s bike is the DREAM
No the best bike is the Devinci Wilson
@@gormtech2356 The best bike is the one you ride the most.
Blake getting excited about S.M.A.R.T before he’s even heard what it means. Bless him.
Here in New Zealand when it was winter for us, I got up and rode from Wednesday to Friday every morning to school, each time I motivated myself to get to school before 8:40 am, this kept me fit throughout the weeks.
m8 your winter is like my summer here in Canada.. making this hilarious to watch
Dito.
Nessman David yes it is, it’s -35 where I am rn
Nessman David from Minneapolis and it’s been pretty rideable this year but cold and really snowy this year!
I live in Vancouver so we got it easy
Move to England during the winter , problem solved..lol
I'm getting older. Just turned 46. It's harder to balance all my responsibilities in life (job, wife, kid, hobbies, friends, family, house up keep...) and get out on the bike. This is a great sensible plan for keeping fit in the Winter.
Just watching you guys make these efforts is inspiring me to keep pedaling through this winter. Awesome video
Oli's superb and brings a wealth of real experience. GMBN lacks an XC based presenter, so give the man s job. Along with Neil, Blake and Henry that'd be all the bases covered
I get excited listening just seeing how into the conversation Blake is...
Just go out and ride! I ride to get fit and for fun, don't do racing and couldn't care less about competition or records. All about feeling good and having fun for me :) Having to beat a record or achieve a set goal is the ultimate motivation killer for me.
Same here. I just love riding in nature. I don't need any extra motivation. I only need proper clothing.
Exactly. When you just love riding your bike for the fun of it you don't need goals or a plan. It just comes naturally. But I understand that not everyone's like that.
I'm arizona the season just started lol. Clear skys and 60 F. Perfect weather
I live in Arizona, too, though I tend to ride either early in the morning or in the evening. That can be pretty chilly, especially 30-40°F in the morning.
Top tips. More Oli please! :-)
I'm about to do my first Enduro at Sea Otter. This was very helpful even though I can ride here in CA year-round, I think that structure helps it seem like a less daunting event. I do like Oli because I think he seems very organized about his approaches to performance.
My motivation disappeared this morning... A light dusting of snow turning to ice later and a traffic warning for slippery roads. Time for more coffee.
Making T.I.T.S. bounce is the best way I've found to burn calories and improve fitness.
I wish I could be doing this but there is a foot of snow and -35 degrees Celsius weather
go skiing!
I love that I've just got back from where they are riding, absolutely knacked and searching youtube to improve my fitness - then seeing them both blasting up a climb that nearly killed me. hahah. Time to get training

Andrew Rivera Nice. I decided to fix health with fasting and low carb so that I can retire. I am planning something epic.
Thanks great video. Already knew about the S.M.A.R.T targets before from work. However the video reminded me that to take this into sports training in my private live also would be crutial. I am one of the guys with high targets that I am normally not able to fulfill, resulting in some weeks with with demotivating results.

Completely right: start with something that is ACHIEVABLE. The targets can ALWAYS be adjusted later.
Where I live winter training is easy, the problem is riding with 40° in summer
Same. Australia
Don't use AC at home or in the car and when it's hot and you get going it isn't that bad. Rural QLD for me so it gets cooking
Specific: Eat a Twix
Measurable: Have I eaten a Twix yet or not?
Achievable: Just watch me.
Relevant: I was put on this planet to eat Twix, so, heck yeah.
Time Based: I have 30 seconds between this box set episode finishing and the next one starting. Just enough.
Pleased to be well under way with my winter training 👍
Is it possible to substitute a Twix for a Crunchie? If so, I am all in on this training regime.
It’s hard to do these things when there’s a foot of snow on the ground
Another great video with Oli. More Oli please......
I love riding in the winter, nobody else about to bug me

I need more T.I.T.S 🤣🤣🤣
All great tips, thanks guys!
Great content :)
Very informative thank you.
have a winter bike safari in a warm country
Excellent video gents!
So this is winter? Looks like our summer :D
Ollie seems like the polar opposite to Blake. Think I know who I'd prefer to shred with
If u live in Australia it’s summer training tips
Motivation dissolves over time, discipline and sheer will don't.
Great video awesome job 👍😊🚵♀️

Have you guys made an episode on Zwift and mountain biking?
Blake takes the cake! 🍰
Well the best thing i did was doing different types of sport like weight lifting and cardio with a changed diet with soja products including alot of vitamine b12 and iron rich groceries like spinach.
Important also : Strength training, go running,indoorclimbing, only biking creates dysbalances!!!!!
What jacket is Blake wearing?
Looks like a Nukeproof Blackline jacket upon further inspection.
An orange one
It's a Nukeproof Nirvana jacket.
how does beer fit in this program? Desperately in need of advice :)
Drink wine, less bloat and you get pissed quicker 😂
Asking for a friend
Lots of mince pie and beer 🍻
My top tip is to ride your bike fasted! Really effective and no bonking!
What you prefered whend you ride, flat pedal or clip pedal ?
Yo!!! What mud guard is on Blake’s Nukeproof?! That is wicked!
You don't need a mud guard.
@fernando ronaldo False.
@fernando ronaldo Wise words.
You don’t need one, but it is nice ripping through muddy, super sandy rocks or w/e sections without it kicking up all over your face.
And anywhere from 10-20 USD for one, why not
Anyone know what the brand of jacket Blake is wearing in this video? My kids want to get it for their dad's birthday - thanks.
i ride for about 24 hours a week and i ride up and down my steep road, but my friends still beat me. i started riding in August last year but still, im getting nowhere
What fox pants are those along with what cycling shoes / pedals do you have on the Nukeproof bike as I currently run with Crankbrothers egg beaters & I’m looking for a replacement. Great tips also
Try Nukeproof Horizon for some sick pedals, if XC lightweights aren't in your future plans
What is that fender that Blake has on his fork?
what do you mean by "recommended for you"?
Where is that trail they are riding
i wonder where this was filmed, trails look sweet.
Looks like Ashton Court near Bristol
Nice and clean in the cafe🤔
Have you guys been to Canada on a Winter..
I live in South Africa and it is summer now and around 35 degrees Celsius do you have any tips for staying cool while riding?
I live in Hong Kong and this is a perpetual problem. I have taken a tip from the roadies and do the fitted tops and tri shorts (less padding so works better for me). I like the Assos jerseys for keeping me cool in the heat and humidity. I hope this helps.

Nicee bike scott
Okay...
Blake has new tyres
Can you guys do something like this but for the gym? I don't really want to cycle through 6ft of snow
Edit: and without a smart trainer at home
They have done quite a few of those videos. th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=GMBN+Gym
I only ride my Mtb in winter to the pub only
My motivation to ride isn't to get fit right now. It's to prevent me from losing use of my right leg. I do 5 miles every other day and as it gets warmer it will become 5 miles a day, then 10 miles a day and up until my doctor tells me i'm over doing it.

Well, dunno, i have gained couple of kg's over last 6 months :D still doing 300km a week.
The gmbn uploader doesn't seem to be working :/
Just went on my 30km commute ride and now just had a pizza🤣
Fool.
If you're not aiming for weight loss I think that's a pretty good reward for yourself 😆
You relatable fool...
Good luck getting my middle age over weight Mate's out these days me myself and I 😢
Freezing ? If you can ride outside then it's not proper winter ! In places like Scandinavia and Canada winter is indoor training only.
It was raining today put my waterproof jacket on and went in the rain weather dont stop me
You guys don't know freezing. We have the damn snow for 6 months, temperatures as low as -45 deg Celsius and the sun is below the horizon for two months. How the hell can i train in the worst winter months.
Go to the Gym Dani MacAskill style
Every time I finish a ride, I pass a Taco Bell. And another. And....huh, where did these two quesaritos come from??

Is 55kg light for a 16y old
Axero Depends how tall you are.
That's winter?
don't climb hills
I only ride downhill
I only ride park
I'm on the lift all day
And I don't have no chain
I only ride park
Screw your xc
And your 650b
I only ride park
Im passing all the noobs

Verse 1--
I got all the record times

Always cuttin' in line
I only ride in the summer when the park is open
Trails closed for maintenance? Its time for poachin'
