PubMed defines Exercise Addiction, “The findings suggest that an individual who is addicted to exercise will continue exercising regardless of physical injury, personal inconvenience or disruption to other areas of life including marital strain, interference with work and lack of time for other activities. 'Addicted' exercisers are more likely to exercise for intrinsic rewards and experience disturbing deprivation sensations when unable to exercise”

Hopefully this doesn’t sound too familiar to most of you/us. It certainly defines the subject of this thread.

I did have a bit of this in my early 30s when I had a bad marriage and didn’t like my job. As a result I buried myself in being on the bike when I was not working or asleep. Now I love my job (retired) and my spouse - and can get as little or much of cycling as I want and still live life.
