#bouldering - Zábava
I missed these type of vlogs from you. And I can concur, that exercise is PARAMOUNT to mental health.
After being immersed for a few decades in the climbing biz, I heartily enjoyed watching you explore bouldering. Climbing is a curious juxtaposition and paradox: it's an anxiety producing activity that redirects your 'real life' anxiety over to solvable synergistic mind/body problems, which ultimately significantly reduces personal stress. It's healthy to physically wrestle with problems as a human being. We don't get enough of that.
Good to see you again Mark. The chapters in life are always a mystery: We ride the bike of life and wonder why and where it takes us. Cheers and best to you, Hanna and little Jack.
Agree with mixing it up, my new condo got a pool and gym so started doing those with the cycling which is nice!
Exercise is absolutely key to keeping my mental health on track. Thanks for this vlog Mark 😁👌🚴♀️
Keep up the come backs, love the video So! Yeah, exercise ( & biking) is the best antidepressant!
Absolutely fantastic, Mark. Love seeing you back in action. Def keep up that exercise.
Missing your videos! Welcome back! Congratulations on your new life!
I agree with you. When my 1st son was born I quit exercising for about 6 months. I really felt depressed and could not snap out of it until I went back to exercising.
Hey Mark. First-time, long time......Bout time I said g'day and thanks for what you bring to your channel. LOve the cycling stuff but also the cross over into other topics including mental health. Your guts (not the stomach variety!) and open/honesty are inspiring.....so much so I have decided to address and action my similar issues around mental health. Thanks mate, keep up the great work.
Agreed, cycling has become a bit tedious lately, hard to get motivated so I decided to get involved with brazilian jiu-jitsu, now I actually miss the bike in between rides and the techniques in bjj really focus the mind. Variety is the spice of life as they say. Good to see the raw blogs back too. 👌💪
Thank you 🙏🏻
What a nice surprise. Miss the vlogs. Little man is charging.
Well done... and fair play for being so honest about your struggle.
Yay, good to see you back at it. Funny I was just doing some bouldering for the first time in years, good fun, but damn it makes you ache!! It’s right that keeping active keeps you sane but you gotta look after yourself too! It’s really good to hear you talk about mental health, it normalises it and you know just help peeps to realises everything doesn’t have to be a ok all the time, it’s ok to struggle sometimes!!
Exercise always pulls me out of depression walking , riding and weights just a bit harder through winter which means you've got to be more mentally tougher on yourself to get out there and do it alway feel better afterwards cheers maven pump it. That video you did showing us of your running days was amazing you where looking fit as fuck that's your motivation right their lad you did it once maybe you can do it again try some fasting I do it all the time now. I'am 53 and I was about 105kg for a long time even with all the exercise now 88 to 90kg over a year could lose more but am happy for now.
HELL BOY I am
Glad to see the Maven is back.
I am 53 as well, and despite lots of exercise, my weight ballooned to 223.5 lbs just past this New Years. I needed naps daily, my knees were always inflamed. A buddy mentioned insulin resistance, I looked that up. My shitty diet changed. I cut out sugars, bread, high glycemics and cut down on alcohol. Dr. Jason Fung on CZcams and a host of low carb fitness gurus on a CZcams gave me all the information I need. If you are full on performance oriented, you don’t need to cut your carbs to 25mg to get into ketosis, which is fat burning. Time restricted eating/international fasting and fasted workouts are all you need. Cut out breakfast, unless you are planning a smash fest.
Honestly, I have never felt better. No painful joints, recovery from exercise is really fast. V02max shot up, watts/kg is at an all time high. Peak watts at about 95%, but acceleration is still faster on my regular Strava sprint section.
I can ride past 3 hours with mod intensity fasted, and many more hours at endurance pace. You also become a more efficient carb burner as well.
Best part, Low Carb eating and fasting does not require any financial commitment. Dr. Phinney and Dr. Volek are experts on low carb for endurance athletes. Ride On.
Mark, it is grreat to see that you are back. Keep up doing something, and variety etc., etc. But, Dude, you described it as a great winter day. As someone from Canada, you can't call it winter when there are leaves on the trees and people riding bikes in t-shirts and shorts. :- )
Perfect vlog Mark! How adorable is young Jack! ) I agree that exercise, or anything that helps us to feel more centred, calm and connected is a positive step when dealing with mental health issues. Keep talking, because there's lots of good humans that suffer along with you. Take care mate! )
YES YES YES YES YES!!! It's time!
great to have you back
Awesome to see you back Maven. You rock. Keep on keeping on
Good to see you again Maven - don't worry we are all dads with kids :)
Rock Climbing is a fantastic sport. Was a sponsored climber for about 6 years , competing and travelling. Fantastic community. Interesting watching someone doing the reverse of what i'm doing. Climbing to Cycling , Cycling to Climbing ;) Stay awesome cocko
Good on you mate. Love the openness about the importance of mental health and staying active. Consistency is the key. Keep it up.
Great to see you back!! Missed it!!
Good to see you again!
Great to see you out! Jack is a hoot! These are great days!!
Lovely to see you. Keep battling. Keep filming!👍👍💪💪💪
Cheers MAVEN!! That's the stuff, keep at it. I have the same sort of problem when i'm not training. Life gets in the way a bit and riding the bike or hitting the gym falls last on the list but in the end when we're active and feeling good we're better able to be present and be that person that our friends and family love. Really resonated with me when you said that, so true.
Lived in Richmond for a while and felt blessed with those local trails along the Yarra and other creeks. I'm really looking forward to getting back out on the bike and active....been on the couch for a while with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Good on ya Mark!
Lovely vlog Mark, reminds me of your old stuff - Melbourne at its best!
Yes
Love it! How cute is jack and his Helmut!
Support from HongKong! Great to see your back enjoying what you do, Little Jack wearing the helmet made my day
Great work mate. You're looking fit, happy and well. Excellent stuff
mate, appreciate your vulnerability! Great to see you working through it all and finding what is going to work for you! Also, nice to see another vlog... nice work
Welcome back, little lad growing up fast💪💪
good on ya mate, glad to see you active and enjoying life. hoping for that ride we never got to do before I head back to colombia.
These are the Vlogs that I love, Mark. Bravo.
Very happy to see you're doing alright maven!
Some of my favourite people in this vid. Jez, so bloody humble. And great to see you back Not Cycling Maven 🥰
Yes he’s back!
Love it!
Every Canadian wishes we had that winter. Love these type of vlogs Maven.
Hey Mark, great video, good to see you back. Love this type of video, just nice and simple. Suffered from anxiety and depression recently, and you’re so right, exercise helps so much. And also, having people like you talk about makes it easier to recognise a problem and talk about it to others, so thanks for sharing your experiences. Love to Jack and Hannah, good to see you back with a vlog x
Mini hack - 1 cent fix is just to put some plastic wrap over the whole headset, stem, front caliper or disc break area. Prevents all sweat ingress. Just my 2 cents... i mean 1 cent :-)
So good to have you back!
My vlog has been so behind and just hard enough to get out of bed this winter and keep fitness up. Well done brother. keep inspiring us!!!
thedropcycling Yeah, I was wondering what's going on. Waiting patiently on the next TDC vid. 😎🤙🏽

Aah, Gardiner's creek trail
Good to see you back, I can assure you we ain’t going anywhere!
Very good, my Friend!
Old skool Maven content. Rad 👍🏻👍🏻
Maven, on a bike, "good morning you absolute freakin' legends..." - what is this, 2017?? I love how little of a thing that is to have given me such joy! Also, bouldering?? Now you're talkin' my language!!
Fair play for sharing the anxiety & depression challenges u have .... bravo
Good one brother!
Good onya Mark! Great to see you take some positive steps to improve your mental health. Keep up the good work :)
Liked it!!
"This new thing called bouldering" - love it. I've been bouldering for about 20 years! Awesome sport, and if you enjoy it and head back to France you have to check out Fontainebleau for some proper outdoor bouldering. Great with kids too.
Welcome Back 'Cycling Maven' 💪💡♻️
this sort of vlogging is my favorite. its so realistic and relatable and not so fantastical as the super vlogs, as i call them. super vlogs are cool to watch, but not as personal or relatable if that makes sense.
Good stuff mate
welcome back :)
Bouldering a new thing? Ummmm, nah 😉 I was bouldering 20 years ago and it was old hat back then 🤣 I really do miss squeezing my feet into a pair of undersized shoes and strapping on a chalk bag though. Might be time to get back into pulling plastic.
You're the best 👍🏼👍🏼
Great vlig Jack is sooo cute.
Glad to see you vlogging again 🤙🏼
we have missed you x
rock on dude
Nice to the real stuff again, keep it up mate
Hey cute Jack make the most of that hair if you have your dads genes it won’t be around for long 😉 nice to see the Vlogs Mark.
Great Vlog, you have been missed. Thanks for sharing. #mentalhealthawareness
Exercise is great for mental health mate well said
looking forward to the Titanium build, I'm in the market for a touring setup
Good to see your face again you cracking human!
I’m reading a great book by Johann Hari. Lost Connections. Amazing podcast with Joe Rogan as well. Exercise, taking up hobbies, family connections, less consumerism, diet, all great for mental health.
Hey Mark, Great to see you back at it and I really enjoyed this Vlog. So true about keeping mentally happy through physical exercise. I'm at a simpler place at the moment with trying to get fit. Which Crossfit Gym did you feature in this Vlog? Keep up the good work!
Hey mate. Schwartzs Crossfit in Caulfield. Great bunch.
awesome, perhaps you should try more short vlogs ( like 1-4 minutes) without a lot of production stuff, just short and sweet moments, not much stress and people would get there Mark, Hannah and Jack fix :) and I believe without a doubt exercise is the key to cure or tolerate depression and anxiety and other stresses, it's like sweat is the poison leaving your body!
Glad you're feeling better - variety is the spice of life eh! Though you may not get fatigued with one particular thing, you may well end up fatiguing anyhow and stressing out about not doing this or that - i suppose those days are perfect for the cruisy vegan cyclist style t-shirt rides. As for bouldering, I've definitely found that, especially for someone just getting into it, it's one of the most palpable sensations of progression and achievement one can get. So many routes, each one of them a puzzle - some routes are more about reading the obstacles than it is actual physical effort - and when you've been trying a route for a couple weeks and failing, the moment you match hands up top is so intensely satisfying! Also once your hands and forearms get used to grabbing onto those little holds and taking your weight, it's definitely all about the core.
Good one😊👍
Nice to see you back. Just to say the contrast seemed a bit out during the day videos but great during the night
👍
Good job Mark. Noticed your rowing at CrossFit. Nail the legs, then pull all the way to the chest. Make sure you don't come forward until it's all the way to your chest. They call the legs the drive, the real power comes from them. Technic will help ensure you don't damage anything
2:00 nice to hear that the level in Belgium is really high. I race here and it's really bloody hard to get a good result :D
A vlog!! And also - a vlog that was enjoyable and a positive outlet for you, not a burden. Great to see mate!
Bouldering new? Been around for years mate!
