Interview with August Birk Hundt, elite cyclist for Team CO:PLAY – Giant Store. August shares how improving recovery, listening to his body, and building consistency are helping him pursue his dream of becoming a professional cyclist, one training session and one race at a time.
“I first found Unbroken because I was looking for an amino acid supplement that came from fish. I’m a pescatarian, and getting high-quality, complete amino acids is something I really pay attention to - especially for recovery. After doing some research, I came across Unbroken, and it stood out right away. It was exactly what I’d been looking for, so I reached out to try it. And now, just two weeks later, it’s a key part of my daily routine.
On normal training days, I take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening to support muscle recovery and keep my body ready. On race days or hard training blocks, I take two before the effort, one in a bottle mixed with electrolytes during the race, and one before sleep to help recover overnight. It’s super easy to use, and honestly, I felt a difference almost immediately.
We had a huge 180 km race at the start of the season where our team took second place, an awesome way to kick things off. I was in the breakaway the whole race, pushing high watts from the front. Midway through, I started to feel the fatigue, but after drinking from my Unbroken bottle, I actually felt better. It helped ease the soreness and gave me that extra bit I needed to stay in it and be ready for the final push. I even felt more recovered than many of my competitors - it gave me the edge to finish strong while others were fading.
The next day, we had another 130 km race. Normally after back-to-back races, I’d be wiped, but I felt fresh, like it was a totally new day. My sleep was solid, my resting heart rate was low, and I was ready to train again on Monday. Compared to last season, the difference in recovery is huge. I’ve even started cutting down on caffeine because I already get a natural energy boost from the B12 in Unbroken.
My teammates have noticed too. They’ve seen my posts and are curious about it. For me, Unbroken is a real game-changer. When you’re training and competing at a high level, even that 1–2% makes a difference—and Unbroken gives me that edge.”
