    WHAT DOES AI SAY ABOUT TRAINING METHODS USED 100 YEARS AGO?

    WHAT DOES AI SAY ABOUT TRAINING METHODS USED 100 YEARS AGO?

    I PINGED CHAT GTP AND SEVERAL OTHER AI regarding training methods of Belgians 100 years ago.  Why not?  A lot of knowledge is refined, regurgitated or plain ol' forgotten...

    ... maybe there's something to be rediscovered?

    Oddly?
    or, maybe not.

    The answers across the AI were eerily similar.

    I say eerily because who wants to live in a silo?

    Anyway, 
    here's the bottom line:

    It’s important to note that these training methods were not as scientific or structured as they are today. Cyclists often relied on their own experience and intuition to guide their training. However, despite the lack of modern technology and scientific understanding, many Belgian cyclists were able to achieve impressive results using these methods.

    Shocking!
    I mean, shocking?

    When it comes right down to it, is there anything better than...

    ... relying on our own experience and intuition to guide our training?

    I don't think so.

    Not when were really into it,
    when we really know our bodies.

    Me, for instance, I'm rebuilding my fitness.

    I realized what a distraction it is to look at the data pouring across my little Wahoo screen.

    • Maybe I should put out more power?
    • Gosh, my heart rate is ____!
    • I've only gone X miles?

    So, I fire up the Wahoo,
    put it in my jersey pocket.

    Time to ride on just experience and intuition...

    ... same thing I do when racing.
