Motivation to train

[Smartie]

Thank you, I follow all the coaches on twitter and decided I will be starting with them 1st December and looking forward to it. They look really passionate and their knowledge is also really up to date.

 

Yes, they are very good. Like you, I also did a lot of research before I joined and if have not been disappointed. Between them, they have a lot of experience.

One word.... STRAVA!

 

No, jokes. I had the problem 2 years ago after finishing Comrades. Didn't want to start training (running) again. So I started MTBing again, but struggled.

 

Like someone else said, get a piece of road or singletrack you really like, use it to get fit, and then chase those (your own too) Strava times...

 

No that I am fit, it is GREAT fun and I get up at 4 every other morning to go ride.

 

And the new Anthem also helps

 

Strava always helps me, nothing like that e-mail telling you someone has beaten you time.

 

Must....accept......challenge.......

Doing Epic 2014 my Motivation

[TALUS]

After not hitting my targets in the end of the year races, I have lost my Mojo a bit too. I have always had this "impossible dream" of doing a sub 3 Argus. I will have to kick in quickly and get up to speed or let it go. Think I am going to to commuting only for a week or two and see whether that ignites the fire. Maybe a good reason to get one of those cool city bikes that were at Cycle Africa...

did a race on Saturday, felt really strong and had a great ride. could feel the hard work and hours in the saddle paying off. this week I am fully motivated to continue training again.
