Transcontinental Race No. 6 - TCR6 - #TCRN06 - 2018

Also you left the best quote out...

Good quote.
Reminds me a bit about what Graeme obree said in his book, which was essentially

1. Ignore everything everyone else tells you
   
2. Do 30 minutes hard as you can on a trainer about once per week, when you have recovered.
   
3. Do as many miles the rest of the time as you can, all at recovery pace.
