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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
