About DunMove
Who is behind it and why does it exist?
Who is behind DunMove?
My name is Sven Dunker, I was born in 1985 and I work full-time as an electronics technician. In my spare time, I am a passionate cyclist - whether on an MTB, gravel bike or racing bike. I also love cars, RC models, programming and tinkering.
Why DunMove?
I originally wanted to buy a training plan for myself - one that would fit my goals, my available times and my competitions exactly. I searched for a long time and tried a lot, but never found what I really needed. Sure, a real coach could have done it perfectly, but that would have cost several hundred euros.
So I thought to myself: Can't I build it myself? With logic, mathematics and some Python know-how, I started to develop a system. Once the basic framework was in place, I built a front end with HTML and JavaScript - and that's how DunMove was born.
What do I bring with me?
I have over ten years of experience in active cycling, with several podium finishes in local races, but also in major events such as the Rad am Ring (24h Solo), the Race Across Germany and as a team rider in the legendary Race Across America. In addition to sport, I'm a real technology nerd and would perhaps even describe myself as a numbers and technology monk - perfect for developing a system like DunMove that combines sport and smart planning.
What does DunMove stand for?
The name "DunMove" comes from "Dunker moves" - the project was originally conceived as a personal solution, which then became something bigger. It stands for movement, for smart, individual plans and for the goal of motivating people to get more out of their sport without getting caught up in subscription traps or expensive coaching sessions.
