The wrong training comes back to haunt you later.

Many touring riders plan their week wrong, don't adjust their nutrition and ride at the wrong pace. The result: unnoticed overload that can lead to arthritis, joint pain or RED-S years later – even bleeding gums, tension and poor sleep are warning signs. Treat yourself to Elisabeth Brandau's expertise and make your training and tours healthy and sustainable.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about health & cycling

Is cycling healthy and easy on the joints?
Yes – cycling is one of the gentlest endurance sports on the joints, because the bike carries most of your body weight. It strengthens your heart and circulation, reduces stress and is suitable for almost any age and fitness level – provided your riding position and workload are right.
How often and how long should I ride to stay healthy?
For the health benefits, a few easy sessions per week are enough – consistency matters more than duration. What's decisive is the right pace (not always too fast) and recovery. Plan it wrong and you risk unnoticed overtraining.
Can training incorrectly on the bike do harm?
Yes. Many touring riders ride at the wrong pace, don't adjust their nutrition and allow themselves too little recovery. Years later this can lead to joint problems, arthrosis or RED-S. Tension, poor sleep or bleeding gums are warning signs too.
Is an E-Bike healthy too?
Absolutely – an E-Bike gets people moving who otherwise wouldn't ride (any more), and makes longer distances and elevation gain achievable. You decide how hard it gets via the level of assistance.
Can I lose weight healthily or get fitter through coaching?
Yes – with the right knowledge about training, pacing and nutrition, cycling becomes an effective and sustainable path to greater fitness. Learn from Elisabeth Brandau how to train healthily and for the long term rather than overloading yourself – try it free for 4 weeks.
