THE PROBLEM WITH TRYING SOMETHING NEW

THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO is try something new on raceday. The outcome could be great. It's very risky though, because...

... we don't know how we'll react.

Right up there is discounting something new without a longterm trial.

Most rats, wild or captive, live about two years...

... lab rats a little longer.

I'm not saying we need to do our own madscientist experimentations for two years, but...

... it takes real time to know of particular training method is working.

After over a year, I'm 100% convinced my polarized training combined with the Cowboy Strong weight lifting method are extremely effective.

Props to Todd Udall for reminding me what the great Stephen Seiler said...

... training methods that work survive.

The rest fade away and become extinct.

Regarding Zone 2 training, where I spend 70-80% of saddle time, has other benefits besides simply training the heart.

Today, was a big Zone 2 ride.

My only agenda was to do something different.

Along the way, I found a trail completely new to me.

It turned out to be a hoot.

The great Dan Sullivan said we should be engaged in something with which we are endlessly fascinating...

... for me, that's getting faster.

How about you?

I cover most of my breakthroughs here.

It's free.
