I'm training using the polarized training method, which means that 80% of my training is done at lower intensity to prepare my body for long endurance. At that intensity I'm able to focus on the surroundings in which I train: Enjoy the landscape, feel the rain, think. So I decided that in order to push myself I would take on adventures and go bike-packing, off the beaten track or just plain go and explore the roads less travelled. It's a win-win: Training and exploring at the same time. I do it year round. Follow my adventures here.
