Subject: RE: Time Training/racing vs Planning, chatting, and BTing about training/racing"Some weeks I feel, and other weeks I'm sure, that I spend far more time talking about SBR than doing SBR." This is so true, especially in the U.S. and especially among new athletes. They banter, obsess, discuss, banter some more... Maybe one day a week that actually get out on their bike. Then they get a saddle sore and get back on the forums to ask what saddle they should get. Bless their hearts. ![Money mouth Money mouth](/discussion/jscripts/tiny_mce3.4b3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-money-mouth.gif) Seriously though- the Nike thing has never been more true: Just do It. You aren't going to hurt yourself by training too much. To train too much you'd have to do so much training you wouldn't have time to be on the forums asking about it. Also- most of us just need to lose some weight. American recreational endurance athletes are porkers- and that includes me (5'9", 165 lbs- that is 20+ pounds overweight by endurance athletic standards). |
