I Tried Cycling 1 Hour a Day for 10 Days—No Training

What happens when you go from zero training… to 10 days of non-stop cycling?

In this video, I take on a bold challenge:
✅ 10 consecutive days
✅ 1 hour of cycling each day
✅ 0 training in the last 4 months

What started as a test quickly turned into a journey of mental grit, physical surprises, and unexpected breakthroughs. From rain-soaked rides to breaking personal records, this challenge reshaped the way I think about pain, resilience, and consistency.
Let’s just say, that title wasn’t random — there were times I genuinely asked myself,
“Why the hell did I start this cycling challenge?”

Here’s what you’ll find in the video:

✅ Day-by-day reflections from the saddle
✅ What nearly made me quit on Day 4—and why I didn’t
✅ How your body adapts faster than your mind thinks
✅ Lessons that go way beyond cycling

This isn’t just about cycling. It’s about momentum. Discipline. And what happens when you show up—even when everything in you says don’t.
