Why do you train?

You can ramp down nowadays.

My 'training' stems from a mixture of raging narcissism, distinct self-loathing, and a hopeless attempt to improve my attention span.

That and one day I dream of beating@dbr's Sa Calobra time. (Though the reality is this is highly unrealistic).

All my rides above 15mph are kept private

For the massive bicep gains.

Even when I 'raced' I gave up training quite quickly in preference for riding my bike.

Alright tom simpson

Why does @fussballclub train?

Do pointy hat people ever ride slowly tho?

Why does @Fox train?

For me it's less about 'training' than getting fit again, because I'd got so unfit I couldn't do longer rides and I'd got fat (65kg, FYI) and because riding during lockdown seemed best done on a turbo. I then discovered I actually enjoyed the turbo.

I'm not doing any 'training' right now though cos my sciatica has flared up again and I'm struggling :((

I miss having regular visits to see an osteopath :'(

I train so I can offer Bainbridge advice on how to zwift better.

.

I look at like I'm offering you a way to get into the DS World.

But yeah, he has good advice.

I thought it was to curate unique Instagram content?

One I forgot to explicitly mention, but it's kinda covered in the other reasons is that: if you are going to do a challenging tour or fun ride, it's more enjoyable if you're not constantly in pain. One way to reduce RPE is to train beforehand.

Does anyone need to train for that?

Ah thanks.

That reminds me. You owe me coaching fees.

@andyp there's that too.

Hire a scooter. Sorted.

Brutal

why does @youramericanlover train?
