When I'm not at my desk, I'm out on the road or in the gym. 200 km on the bike in a single day, 30 km on foot across the Ruhr area, five years of strength training and 18 countries on the list.

Years training
6 × 150 kg on the bench press at a body weight of 110 kg, my personal best so far. And the day I realised that being wide isn't everything.
Three things that work the same way for me in sport and at work.
01
The 200 km day wasn't the real achievement. The achievement was the weeks before it, when I got on the bike in the rain and without any motivation. Sales works the same way: the deal is what people see, not the 60 calls that came before it.
02
150 kg on the bench came after five years of adding plates in 2.5 kg steps. I like things where progress only becomes visible after months. Anything faster is usually a flash in the pan.
03
The 30 km across the Ruhr area were never part of a training plan, they were a free Saturday. Sport is my opposite of a screen, not the next item on a list.
What else I spend time on
Before anyone assumes cooking is only on that list to impress girls and I cannot actually do it: here is the proof. Made it myself.
