Jens Voigt On Training

Jens Voigt is known for his ability to endure pain. Find out about his most gruelling training sessions in the first of our interviews with Jens.

From his hour record preparations to training with Fabian Cancellara, it's fair to say that 'The Jensie' has had to suffer for his art. In this video he reveals some of the most punishing sessions he's done in his career, spanning from his days with CSC right up to his retirement year.

Jens needs a GCN presenter spot in the near future, great guy, love listening to him, and a wealth of knowledge !

[peterhardie]

My hardest work out is when I have been away for a few days, no internet and I watch 3 x 10min GCN videos back to back.

[velo]

that was pure gold, plz give us more videos like that --- make a video series "trainingtipps of the pros"

[mrkringlan]

Now this is a real gold nugget you have put out here, more of this please!

[zomgforeelz]

Jens has been super fun to listen to on the TDF, and this was a great watch as well. I hope you can convince him to come on board as a GCN presenter.

[Foxmang]

I was there last summer when Jens led a solo breakaway in Colorado Springs at the US Pro Challenge....  he was a BEAST, and was only caught in the last couple of hundred  awesome performance.... and he's a nice guy, too!!!

[sebastianschar]

[riggermortisfpv]

Great interview ! But there must be more, yes ?

[jamesmeyer]

Great Interview! - Jensie has some good stories!

[brianundershute]

That was good discussion...I would have liked to hear more....maybe yo could do a "Part 2" and or "Part 3"?

[tomdarrington]

Great interview. I always feel a bit sad when someone who speaks English as a second language is more natural and charismatic than me in my mother tongue, and on camera none the less.

[Davomann]

GCN definitely needs to add this man as a member. Not sure, how he would compete in those epicly hard presenters challenges though...

[alfredthabiso]

Stunning Video but a bit to sort 😢 Love this Men

[anthonyjackson]

oooof, more of these insights would be great. Thats a great contradiction that pros just ride low all day... we forget they do mental sessions like these.

[MusingsFromTheDen]

I love the way he says 'Knackered'. Ah, who am I kidding? I love everything about Jensie, he's The Boss! 😆
