it just got me this morning a bit.
I think it's absolutely fine to drop the odd session if you don't want to / can't do it /aren't in the right frame of mind. I started one and wasn't enjoying it, had time pressure, so I just stopped and had a big lunch.

It's not just fine, it's what you should do. If you aren't hitting numbers because you're tired from training or you have external stress impacting your performance then you should definitely back off, either by skipping sessions, reducing length or reducing intensity (depending on what the nature of the sessions are). Listen to your body as well as what coach/training plan/broscience/whatever says.
hippy
@skinny yeah the issue being time is very much constrained.
@gillies ah I wasn't sure it was TCR but thought you were racing this year.
Yeah I certainly plan and need to add in some flexibility and off bike stuff.
Generally fairly happy with the balance and my plan it just got me this morning a bit. Have a family holiday booked late March which will be nice, I'm going to put myself on a self imposed nothing bike related embargo for it.
