  • Today, I attempt to complete a virtual 'Everest' on Zwift. This means I have to climb 8848m up the Alp D'Zwift and yes, it was as grim as it sounds, haha! Enjoy!!

    When the world returns back to normal, shall we head to the alps and do an Everest in the real world?! P.s - if you’ve been inspired to take on a vEverest yourself in lockdown. DO NOT underestimate the importance of water and a decent airflow. Take care ✌️

      The global economy has been put into induced coma. After 3 or 6 months, it's likely the patient will not wake up. As of today, GDP of most European countries is below 70%, and dropping. I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but "back to normal" is very unlikely, not to say totally impossible.

    Falling straight asleep after a ride ... know that feeling very, very well! It's been kind of like this after every 10hour+ ride for me in the past. It's a really weird feeling accumulating this much fatigue in just one single ride, when with "normal" training it takes about the week to get to the same point.

  • @iainscottaerialphotography

    Not being at the same level and standard of fitness as yourself, I set myself my own goal after seeing some of your live stream. I cycled my first 100km! Hope to get more of these during the isolation/lockdown period. Excellent content as always 👍🏻

    That's an amazing achievement, congrats on the Zwift Everesting. I admire your dedication to entertaining your community with top quality vlogs. 2 things to do next - 1/ shave your head and 2/ plan the real Alpes d'Huez Everesting on a Boris bike... The confinement will last between 6 and 10 weeks, pace yourself...

  • @mikejames172
    @mikejames172 Před 4 lety

    I’ve Everested - it was one of the hardest thing I’ve done...in summary after 10 hrs on the bike you’re completely knackered - to complete it, it just requires you to keep on pedalling when you no longer have the energy to do so, many many times till you finish .... mind over matter cos your body fell apart ages ago !

    What turbo trainer do you use/recommend? Have been looking for a while now and apart from knowing I don’t want to pay £1000 for one I don’t know which one to go for...!
    If people don’t listen to the Gov and don’t stay indoors they’re going to stop people from going outside to exercise and I need to get those training sessions in (getting them done between shifts at the hospital is difficult enough as it is!)

    Hi! I come a little late, there’s any difference between descend pedaling or not? I mean, is the descend faster if you keep pedaling to 160 watts for example? Bad weather is coming here in Chile, and I want to try an everesting.
