Losing your mojo

I would *guess** you could do with some active recovery built into that weekly routine. 45mins on the turbo just spinning or rides easy enough to be in zone2 for some time.

Definitely.

I can do Sufferfest - Revolver in 45 mins though.
Much more fun, and gives a far better thigh buzz.

The simple fact is my natural competitive streak kicked in big time this year. When you're in the middle of a nordic Winter you need to roll With that sort of wave. When spring properly arrives I'll go for more pootles.
