Okay a few questions for the more experienced/opinionated amongst you.
When doing intervals on the turbo, a bit like TT Tom suggested above, when in the flat out stage is it better to be spinning a easy gear willey cayote style or a harder gear?
Or is it all about the heart rate and percieved effort rather than cadence?
And last winter I went to quite a few spinning classes, should they work as interval training?
I'm not sure how much they helped me last year but I was in the middle of training for a marathon or at at the gym most days so I think I was falling into the quantity rather than quality trap...

My main quandary is reconciling all the things that I enjoy doing because they are very much at odds with one another. I love cycling and racing. I just love being on my bike full stop really. However, I also love drinking to excess and all the demons this brings out. I know that when I wake up hungover I feel terrible. Especially when it stops me from going to the track that day. Its all about balance I suppose. Its like what Tom says, its easy to become obsessive about it and think fuck I have to train doubly hard next week to make up for the binge the other night. At the same time though, when I am sitting in the pub watching the footie, on my 6th pint. Think balls to cycling, I'm gonna give it all up and just carry on drinking and partying.
I know I could be a lot lot faster if I did give up all this nonsense. But hey, I am not a professional athlete and I am not a machine. Its this constant state of turmoil which makes me who I am really..
If ever there was a otm post this is it...
