I really hate the turbo, even though it's a great thing for training.
Dad had psyched himself out before the Cotswold spring classic sportive just because he felt he hadn't trained enough, and he looked at the graph of the hills. He has the ability, but he really didn't have the oomph that day. I think it happens. It really is all in your head.
Deffo get some countryside in your face. But not in these headwinds.
I did my 50 miles with hills on Tues, was supposed to do an easy 25 yesterday, but turned out to be kinda a harder effort because of the headwind along the flat. Sometimes it feels like cycling through sand.

Mmmm yes, the mind is a key part to training.
I wasn't in the mood this morning that's for sure, and couldn't get into the session at all... ended up getting pissed off and abandoned as I felt like it was doing me no good.
Think I could do with a break from turbo for a bit, get outdoors in the week instead. Get the brain recharged! I sometimes find that i need a good few days away from turbo every now and then in order to keep the motivation for doing it
