What are your winter training tips?

Blake is my favourite hero here

The only tip I remember is: Have a piece of cake

m8 your winter is like my summer here in Canada.. making this hilarious to watch

I can really appreciate a lady who enjoys T.I.T.S. as well.

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.

Just watching you guys make these efforts is inspiring me to keep pedaling through this winter. Awesome video

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.

I get excited listening just seeing how into the conversation Blake is...

A quality video with quality people! Very inspiring! Love it!

I need more T.I.T.S 🤣🤣🤣

I live in Tx, and I just started mountain biking… I’ve been riding in 100 • F, with a “feels like “ of 107 😂 It’s hard but I take the same tack you all do. “Do something”. I can’t wait til the winter when the avg temps are in the 60’s and 70’s . 😱

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.

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

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.

Top tips. More Oli please! :-)

I'm arizona the season just started lol. Clear skys and 60 F. Perfect weather

I wish I could be doing this but there is a foot of snow and -35 degrees Celsius weather

Motivation is the hardest one. Can be the weather or others reasons like having to wash the bike, cost, etc... i bought a smart trainer with a subscription to Zwift to my wife ... trained 2x per week and ... and blast it ! Simply amazing. After a month, she can keep pace with me.

Blake is such a great listener and never interrupts, not even with the typical never ending mhmmm mhmm mhmm mhmm! That's amazing!

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

I snowboard December through March and Mountain bike April through November both keep me in shape for each one. Been doing it for years.

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 👍

Making T.I.T.S. bounce is the best way I've found to burn calories and improve fitness.

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.

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.

Another great video with Oli. More Oli please......

1- shut up and pedal 2- nobody is going to force you to ride, you have to motivate yourself 3- real food on the ride, less bars/gels 4- see #1, repeat the hardest part is getting out the door, after that it’s all smiles

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.

Where I live winter training is easy, the problem is riding with 40° in summer

Great video here! Oli is great!

I love riding in the winter, nobody else about to bug me

Warm finger and warm toes, spend the money on good gloves and shoes! I carry two pairs of gloves, a starting pair to warm up and keep the wind out until my fingers warm up, and then before things get sweaty swap to a lighter pair. For your shoes, buy at least a half to one size up* (room for your toes to wiggle), through in a toe warmer, and love yourself a nice merino blend. * I have yet to find winter/shoe boot that actually fits to size (and assume you are wearing a thicker sock).

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?

Awesome vids gmbn👍

Completely right: start with something that is ACHIEVABLE. The targets can ALWAYS be adjusted later.

Cycle up hills, cycle up more hills and finish off by cycling up some more hills!

Went to this bike park on the weekend a good easy ride for keeping fitness levels up (Ashton Court Nova trail)

Best channel to watch some tips for Mountain bike

i do winter mtb to stay fit for road riding 😁.. also this looks like it was shot in summer

It’s hard to do these things when there’s a foot of snow on the ground

Excellent Video 😎 I Ride Daily Year Round with Rest days ... I ride 100kmWeek CF Warden Vancouver . Im 59 😁

love your energy blake

Very informative thank you.

I hope that one of answers is "electric bike" [edit] damn it!

All great tips, thanks guys!

Amazing

Thanks guys just what I needed !

The best channel

Blake’s chain looked like it was really slack and needed chain tensioner lol

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.

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.

If u live in Australia it’s summer training tips

Great video awesome job 👍😊🚵‍♀️

Excellent video gents!

I'd love to see a series about one of you guys getting fitter and see how faster you shred

It was so funny how at the start Blake passed him with his hoodie on and he looked like he was a six year old with his hoodie and his smile or

Nice practical advice.

So this is winter? Looks like our summer :D

have a winter bike safari in a warm country

I decided to buy a jump bike for Indoor and pump track riding and the gym...

One tip would be making a habit. If you haven't rode in a long time, it might be good to pick a few days a week to just start riding your bike around your neighborhood. Once a habit is born it's easier to hit the trails.

I live in Southampton but it’s pitch black at 3:00 and that’s when school finishes

Love the advice. Would like to see some of bike workouts. What are their gym workouts?

winter in Australia is the time to ride lol. in summer its too hot.

Motivation dissolves over time, discipline and sheer will don't.

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

Lots of mince pie and beer 🍻

Ollie seems like the polar opposite to Blake. Think I know who I'd prefer to shred with

What jacket is Oli wearing?

Blake takes the cake! 🍰

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.

To be fair, UK winter looks more like summer to me *looking out the window at 30cm of snow and ice, going back to the sofa*

Have you guys made an episode on Zwift and mountain biking?

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.

Nice and clean in the cafe🤔

how does beer fit in this program? Desperately in need of advice :)

What jacket is Blake wearing?

What you prefered whend you ride, flat pedal or clip pedal ?

How did you know I was fat and out of shape? Trying to get motivated!

Great content :)

Important also : Strength training, go running,indoorclimbing, only biking creates dysbalances!!!!!

Nicee bike scott

How long is a long ride?

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.

What is that fender that Blake has on his fork?

Yo!!! What mud guard is on Blake’s Nukeproof?! That is wicked!

Where is that trail they are riding

Whats classed as a long ride for a avg rider ?

what kind of bike lights in this video?

I need u to help typical Blake lol lol

i wonder where this was filmed, trails look sweet.

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 do you mean by "recommended for you"?

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

Doesn't it ever snow in the winter England/GB?!

Blake has new tyres

Have you guys been to Canada on a Winter..

Just went on my 30km commute ride and now just had a pizza🤣
