In this episode of the World Hard Enduro Podcast, we sit down with enduro coach and rider Wanja Morlinghaus to discuss his journey from competitor to coach in the hard enduro world.

Wanja shares valuable insights on his transition to running a successful training academy at just 17 years old and his current work with Morlinghaus Racing supporting young riders at competitions around the world.

We dive deep into the physical and mental preparation required for iconic races like Erzberg and Romaniacs, including surprising nutrition tips (how switching from meat dramatically reduced his arm pump) and the mental strategies that separate champions from the pack.

The conversation concludes with exciting news about Wanja's future plans in the electric enduro space and his thoughts on the handbrake vs. foot brake debate for electric motorcycles. A must-watch for any off-road enthusiast looking to improve their riding and understand what it takes to compete at the highest level.
