Out of the comfort zone, because: Comfort zone is danger zone!

Training hours to date
Three outdoor units (5-10 h / 100km to 200km week) - winter months with indoor training on the roller (heart rate and wattage controlled, 3 x 1 h/week).
Training hours to date

Training hours to date

Training hours to date
