It happens much less frequently now because I can feel it coming and know when to suck a wheel until I recover.
Are you saying I should ride so hard that I blow up every ride and take a nap in a ditch? I'm not sure how I'm gaining significant speed and stamina without working hard enough...
I'll repeat myself from earlier.
My guess is the OP is overweight and losing weight, therefore getting constantly "better" from loss of weight/gaining muscle.
And I will add: "and will probably hit the training wall soon."
Getting your body into "athletic" shape is one thing. Getting it into competitive form is another. One requires exercise, the other requires training.
