Haha. I love training. Its my favorite part of cycling. My training is indeed very strictly structured. Yet it infuses my cycling with joy and pleasure. It is a magic thing to train hard and then go out on a ride and easily pull the boys through 20 miles of headwinds. Or pop up a 10% short hill like it is nothing. I love to hit my power targets so exactly that my coach accuses me of faking the data.
