I broke a bunch of club TT records this year by doing a fair bit of LSD (the boring kind) like normal but being consistent with my turbo training. Consistent, meaning I didn't skip any sessions because life. I only do one a week but I make it count and like I said I hit it almost every week whereas the year before I managed to find a lot of excuses. If all that stuff you've got going on is on the turbo you'll be sick of it. If it's getting out and about doing different shit maybe it'll work for you.

LSD? Long Slow Dull?

Problem for me in this weather is that two hours outside= Feet Of Corpse, so I was intending on sitting in front of the TV, reading a book whilst spinning away at 200 watts for a couple of hours just to get some (virtual) miles in the legs.

I'll likely finish this year on 5,000 Km, which is shameful.

In contrast, I've flown 97,965 miles this year. Sitting on my arse, as it gets gradually larger.

Long Slow Distance, it's not dull as it's outside. Ok, it can be dull if you're like me and do it by riding up and down an A road for hours but that's still less dull than doing the same thing on a turbo. Normally over winter though the rides aren't stupid long and slow is relative.

Feet, I dunno. I just wait for mine to go numb and then they're not an issue! :)
Until you get home and realise that you're missing some toenails.

I hope you're carbon offsetting...
