Thank you Oliver for posting this wonderful everesting. You are an inspiration to me. New subscriber, and props for doing this amazing feat of cycling! BOOM👍🙀⛰🏔
Great tips and well done for your achievement!
I did my first everesting last week on Alpe du Zwift, hard as hell but the satisfaction at the end is unbelievable!
Nice set of advices. Thanks
Great tips. I'm attempting a Double Everesting this summer. I'm doing mine on foot but these tips are still super helpful.
Awesome, thank you for sharing your insights
Great tips Oliver - thanks for sharing! :)
Are you planning on everesting, chris? would love to see it on your channel haha
Great video with very helpful tips. Wish I had seen this before my first Everesting attempt that had to abort 21 June 2020. I totally underestimated the challenge
Yeah, the Everesting challenge is a beast! Just look at it like you are a step closer to your goal. Your next attempt will be different. Let me know once you did it! 👋
Thank you Oliver
thanks for your very practical and useful tips
You're welcome! I hope it helps you as well. 👍
Thanks for your tips. I'm thinking of attempting one sometime. Probably 2021 as the nights are drawing in now and I need time too practise. Well done on completing it.
That's great! Just give it a try, no matter if you reach 500, 3000 or whatever. But you will get a feel for what it will take. Enjoy the process! 👍
Gute Leistung! Congrats on the Everesting. It's an achievement. Nutrition is the least of your worries. You've got lots of time on the descents and breaks. Eat 2 dinners the day before and a big breakfast on the day. On the ride just drink regularly and eat when hungry. Keep the food boring but wholesome and avoid sugary stuff. I drank a lot of pickle juice in the last few hours and I feel it helped me. Once again. Eat and drink sensibly. If you become dehydrated it's your own fault and there are no excuses. You should never get near your threshold heart rate at any time or generate more than a very light sweat.. #1 tip for me is change your bibs at least once. #2 tip is choose a medium climb in the 250-300m range if you can. This is to make the descents under 10 mins. Any longer and your legs will lock up and each climb becomes progressively harder.
Thanks for your input! Not so much a good performance, but it was more about pulling through no matter what. Things differ a lot from person to person, but I would agree in general. Tip #2 is also important to protect your knees. My climb was only 96 m and around 10-15 min 😉
@@oliverwilhelm Yes. I did mine on a 110m climb - it was the longest and safest in the area. I think 220-240m is ideal (rather than the 300 m I wrote above) . Good point about the knees.
New subscriber dude!
krass, krass, krass! Bei uns gehts bald auf die Anden, da sind n paar Tipps zur Höhe ganz hilfreich. Liebe Grüße aus Uruguay :)
I have achieved my own Everesting the past weekend, and concerning tip 4 (day light), I personnally prefer starting not so early (I started at 14:15 pm), because yo ensure having slept well the day of the challenge. In any case, you will pass fast a whole night pedalling, so starting in the afternoom was a very good tip. Another case would be the cyclist able to complete the Everesting in less than 24 hours. If your everesting time is going to be around 24 hours, I recommend starting whitout any hurry: at 10:00 am, or 14:00 pm, and so on. Starting very early in the morning means starting already tired because of lack of sleep.
Congratulations, that's awesome! Thanks for your input. Tip 4 was just meant to be about the hours of daylight. At which time of the day you start is more of a personal preference. Starting early in the morning does not automatically come with a lack of sleep. Some people are early birds 😉 Myself, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep much anyway the night before... 😅 Do you have a Strava link of your ride?
Nice tips. Yeah I made the wrong decision on mine. I thought I was a strong rider and could finish in 12-15 hours but I with how steep my hill was I was way slower than expected so rode in the dark twice. Riding in the dark the second night was bad because of fatigue and cold and I agree ride 2 light segments with one dark
Sleep deprivation is a tough thing. Two nights is hard! Some crazy people like it, but for normal people I would aim to complete any challenge within 24 hours. Two days, one night maximum, I agree!
Richtig gutes Video geworden. Cool 😎
Did an everesting this week, one of the dumbest but also coolest challenges on the bike tbh... Your tips are very good, though i was lucky not to ride in the dark... Started early and it took me 10 1/2 -12 in total- hours, not sure if i kept my motivation in the darkness
Congratulations! That is a very fast time! 👍 Yeah, dumb but tempting...
Great tips. I'm planning to ride the Ultrafondo in the Tour des Stations in August (242Km+8,848M). I'm struggling a bit with training strategy. Should I be doing a big effort weekly (with increasing duration and elevation) or smash out 2,000-3,000M 2 or 3 times a week. I just rode 250km and climbed 3500m during the ride. I'm planning on more like that to build up my endurance, but don't know should I just taper in between big efforts?
Thanks
Awesome effort! 👍 I'm no expert on training structure, but since the human body adapts to everything I think tapering in between big efforts is the way to go. Mix it up and try to do a little bit more over all every week. And do not forget to rest, don't overtrain but also don't have longer breaks than three days. Good luck!
@@oliverwilhelm Thank you
Thanks for these tips Oliver! How do you get your Garmin battery to last so long?
I had a battery pack attached to my Garmin. But test that with your device first! For some models it might not work or you will need a special cable.
As I had problems with the barometric sensor due to water cloaking the hole, I would strongly suggest using a backup device! Something can always go wrong...
@@oliverwilhelm OK, thanks Oliver! I am testing now with a ''pocket juice'' portable charge battery. It seems to be working as the Garmin has 8 hours running and still 100% charged;-)
Great! So you're good to go!
we plan to do it on 20 of june, with 5 friends. HOPE WE MAKE IT!!
Awesome! Good luck! With a group the motivation might be higher. Let me know how it went. 👍
@@oliverwilhelm we did it!! for me it took 15u30min and my friends did it even faster haha thanks for the tips
Great! Congratulations! 👏 That is a very fast time... 👍
@@oliverwilhelm thanks mate and sorry moving time was 15u30 but total time 17u24 it took a bit longer haha
Night riding - start overnight...finish during the day when you are more fatigued.
Gearing - Agreed. Though you 'll probably use the smallest at one pint
Fuelling - Eat much more than you think, drink more than you think. Salts/Electrolytes/Caffine/Sugars/Carbs. Don't be elitist...do what is needed.
Resting - not good. rest on the downhill. Eat on the downhill. Actual breaks should be for toilet stops. Keep the legs spinning toward the end of the downhill so they are warmed up for the uphill
Consider how to entertain yourself - pod casts or music, have friends ring or ride with you. Being in your own head is probbaly not great for most, especially when as you say this is a challenege of the body, then brain, then both.
Route - understand your strengths. Can you ride for a long time or climb harder gradients. Road surface, weather. All are important.
A fresh kit might be helpful halff way through to help freshen you up...as well as not have sweat destroy your lycra over a long period.
Pacing - Understand your ability to maintain a speed/power for a looooong time and dont go out to hard. Don't be afraid to do some slower repeats to protect the legs and let them rest a bit
If you are cold you are wasting energy.
Essentially everything you do should be for the path of least resistance. It's aleady a bloody hard challenge, no need to make it harder.
I quit my team’s group everest at the 1/4 pole when my power meter failed. Still kick myself for that. -U10
That's unfortunate... But why quit because of a failing power meter? Just pace yourself, no need to rely on these technical gimmicks. I understand the power of a power meter in specific circumstances. But if you're not cycling on the Tour de France, just listen to your body. Not hatin', just sayin'. Give it another try and you'll crush it! 💪
Speed or heart rate or just the personal feeling should be enough, I guess. I tried the segment with different speeds before the challenge
You forgot the most important thing: choose a climb with a high enough gradient to get the challenge done in as little as possible time and effort.
Thanks for your feedback! That's probably the most difficult part. And there's also another factor going into the equation. When you choose a higher gradient to have a lesser distance and probably less time, the stress on the body increases! It obviously depends on your personal fitness, but I know people who didn't finish because of this. And that was also the reason why I chose a relatively easy gradient on my Everesting.
@@oliverwilhelm Yeah, that's true. I couldn't do your very long effort that's needed on a relatively shallow gradient. People in my area do it on a 2.6km, 7.6% climb, usually in 12 to 20hours and that's what I'd do if I try one day. The current world record holder (6:40, crazy) did it on a 14% gradient on a more or less straight road where he only had to break at the bottom. He went up ~80 times at about 5W/kg for 4minutes :D
That's crazy for sure! 🤯 Amazing what people can do!
I think you didnt crave pommes, you craved salt.. your body did.
