@AndyCr15 Ok - got it. So from here what are your goals? Do you have a race, a ride you want to complete, just get faster …. That will frame your next move. In the workout library within the app check out the Mental Toughness program. The second session is about setting your “big mountain” or Mt. Sufferfest and the 3rd is about breaking down the big goal into smaller goals.
Would this be easier to do than FF?
Thanks, I think this is what I’m after. I’ve not read ALL of the actual article yet, but it’s interesting it shows me as lacking in NM and AC now… which I definitely wouldn’t have thought was the case?! (I was always a sprinter and hated long-distance when young)
The way I look at it, with the HM and FF there’s nothing to fear but fear itself. They’re each just another workout, a very hard workout, but just a workout nevertheless. To test, I like to do the 1 week Test plan which includes the HM on day 3 which then sets the targets to maintain, or beat, in the FF on day 7. That’s a solid week of training, and you get test results too.
Not pain or failure; not fatal tragedy. Not the faulty units in this mad machinery.
I was thinking; "…nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. "
Hey fellow Sufferlandrians, I have been following this thread for quite a few days and I think at the end of the day for @AndyCr15 is to determine his training goals just like what Sir @JSampson mentioned. By identifying the Mt. Sufferlandrian and the other supplementary goals (if any), only then, the training will be effective in improving one’s metrics.
Just my two cents though.
