Im just letting off steam, shit chatting. Not really looking for answers, but if there are solutions, then that is good.
I just need to do 'more' of everything. I can train round regents park after/before work, but nothing beats track training, or even more so, actual racing to get fit. In desperation I am upping my gear for my commute/RP rides to make the little time I currently have for training/riding as hard as possible.
Maybe its a good idea, maybe its not. I just dont find spinning around (even if you dont agree its 'actual' spining, it feels like it to me),is doing me much good.
In answer to your question, Rob, it feels like I have no power when it comes to trying to make a break or even sprint for the line. My legs feel weak like there is nothing there at all. I cant push. I admit though, that even if I can sprint away, I cant keep it going for more than a lap at the very most. Therefore I realise I am simply not fit yet.
