I do agree with this, but the reason I'm fretting about it is because I'm supposed to be riding on the continent in, ooh... four week's time? ish, with a group, and I'm not going to be very popular if I'm crawling along at 5mph and deciding after 20 miles that I quite fancy going home now plz. I'm going to be anxious about this anyway so I'd prefer to do something concrete to improve the situation a little quicker but without going insane over it.
Luckily I'm far too fat and lazy to ever push myself too hard, so I should be ok.
