WHY I'M TESTING TRAINER ROAD

IF THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results, one might ask why I'm willing to go away from my trusty methods that...

... have delivered great results.

That would be crazy, right?

Maybe.

More likely, just risky.

But, as they say...

... You gotta risk it to get the biscuit.

The risk is TrainerRoad's AI powered training app sucks.

How did I make this decision,
am I a paid shill?

I wish.

Truth is, I rode many miles with Coach Jonathan at the 2019 of the Leadville 100...

... I didn't know who he was at the time.

Of late, I've listened to his podcast, Ask A Cycling Coach, a fair amount the last couple of months.

Lots of good info.

He smoothly and shamelessly shares his software product...

• train smarter
• be more rested
• improve all metrics

... and I thought, Let's give a shot.

The upside is I pick up a new trick or two and go even faster.

Kinda worth it,
amiright?

Full disclosure, I've never last longer than 2 or 3 months...

• boredom
• too structured
• workouts seem to disconnected from real world racing

... with any type of coaching program.

Today was my 30-minute onboarding call, 
we quickly set up the basic training week...

... per what I like.

And now I'm thinking...

... Have already fired the AI, wanting to do things my way?

PS. it's not like it's a huge financial investment, $20/mo... my time is way more valuable, that's the risk.
