Jusr because I write about it in excruciating detail on my blog does not make it complicated. The concepts are simple and it still boils down to "ride hard" but there is a method to when to ride hard and when to ride easy. I just "rode hard" the last few years and made gains but hit a plateau, and especially last year did too much too soon and burned out quickly.

And it if it makes you feel better; my coach can "walk the walk" as well as "talk the talk," as you put it, as he is a former protour rider.
