If you think that the way to get fitter, faster is just to train more - you’re wrong.

Improvement comes from training + recovery. Not just training.

The consequences of overtraining can be severe: It Can Take Months (or Longer) to Recover From

So often we need to ask ourselves, are you not training well? Or are you just too tired?

As always this episode is brought to you by Giant. For all your bike training and racing needs, ride life, ride giant.
