Im not a coach and im definitely not YOUR coach but I encourage you to read this article.
The few paragraphs under "bikers beware" should be considered before starting to train this winter.
There are lots of us that just wanna be fast and competitively perform and think that hard, laborious winter training will win races when the weather is warmer. It sure will help, but there are negative side effects of doing this(ive seen it happen and this guy mentions it in this article). A major reason for this and why training is 100X harder for us mere mortals compared to the pros is simple...we are not getting paid/doing this for a job(we are also stuck in Canada which is not optimal for winter training haha)
Anyway, discuss if you`d like. Tell me im wrong! Tell me im just weak and anything is possible if you put your ass in the trainer for 4 months and put your mind to it haha
