"...a few years ago I always had the wonder whenever I heard the phrase floating around talk of training about "knowing yourself"as an athlete and learning about what mods your personal engine needs to get the pink slips at thunder road. It kinda cracked me a bit cause I had no idea about listening into to myself, as much as i wanted to embrace this concept that could get me to the next level I really couldn't figure out what it was all about.
Time is always a good thing. Fast forward 3 or so years and I'm no zen master but I feel I'm getting there to the point where I can feel where the load is too much, or im lacking in leg speed, or threshold work or time to take a days rest despite the program saying 6 and hills...its kinda a cool feeling of being in control...
I guess at the end of the day there is no one you knows you better than you, most people just don't take the time outta the daily grind to sit and listen in."
Could it be said better? I think not, personally. For more, be sure to regularly check Chris' blog - www.chriswinncycling.blogspot.com
