ARE YOU HEAD STRONG?

WHAT IF ALL THE TIME WE PUT IN, in the saddle, could be improved by spending a few minutes a day doing mental work?  Would it be worth it?  Would you do it, or...

... are you too headstrong?

Some people are saying...

... If there isn't a scientific study, can't be worthy of my time.

Ok.

But, for those who are open to new ideas...

... I think there are neuromuscular connections we often over look.

For example, pedaling with one leg clipped in using a very easy gear on flat or nearly flat ground will quickly identify any dead spots in our pedal stroke.  If we have one...

... doing that exercise several times a week reaps huge rewards.

There was a time, when I'd do that for the first minute or so of each ride.  30 seconds, each leg.

I've blogged ad nauseam about the amazing results I'm having with these 4 exercises:

• Sled
• Nordic Curls
• Toe Raise
• Calf Raise

And, I can't overemphasize developing the discipline of looking only where you want to go, which I screwed up tonight and followed the wrong line into the bushes - pic above.

Here's the dill, to be head strong...

... we must allow time to do its thing and cement in the good practices.
