As winter settles in across Europe and athletes begin to trade outdoor miles for indoor sessions, finding the right motivation becomes more important than ever. Long hours on the trainer or treadmill can test even the most dedicated endurance enthusiast – but the right companion can transform those sessions from routine to inspiring.
That’s where Powerbar’s “Powerbrains” podcast comes in.
Designed for athletes of all levels, Powerbrains dives deep into stories from across the sporting world. Each episode features insightful, energising conversations with personalities who have shaped the endurance community and beyond. It’s the kind of content that makes the kilometres fly by and reminds us why we love to train, even when the weather outside tells us otherwise.
One episode in particular will resonate with Challenge Family athletes: a thoughtful and wide-ranging interview with Felix Walchshöfer, Race Director of the legendary Challenge Roth. As the steward of one of the world’s most iconic triathlons, Felix shares behind-the-scenes perspectives, personal reflections, and the passion that continues to drive the event forward year after year. For anyone who has raced in Roth – or dreams of doing so – this episode is a must-listen.
(Please note: the podcast is available in German only.)
As we head into the colder months, now is the perfect time to refresh your training routine with something that not only entertains you but also inspires you to push toward your next finish line. Whether you’re prepping for your first middle-distance race or gearing up for a return to Roth, Powerbrains is an ideal training partner to keep you company through the winter grind.
So tune in, press start on your session, and let the stories of the endurance world help carry you through. Winter training may be long – but with the right motivation, it can also be deeply rewarding.
Train smart, stay inspired, and keep the fire burning this winter.
