I just bought the cyclists training bible. Apparently I've been doing everything wrong. That is all.

Doing random rides. Not having a structured training plan.

Is this some kind of test to see if I actually read the book?

I hope you didn't need the book to learn that particular tidbit, but I imagine if and when I buy that book, it will tell me a lot as well.

Have you been racing? The book is great but I didn't understand it until I started training for racing next year. I work with a team and two coaches. The thing that he does suggest is getting the base miles first. I'm glad that I know enough to be stupid. This past year I wasn't smart enough to be stupid.
