Feel it!

Feel it

Today we have more data than we can really imagine when it comes to training. We can be training and seeing power, pace, speed, elevation, VAM (speed of ascent), cadence and what feels like a million other stats we can review while seeking better understanding of our training. This sounds great, but can often lead us to losing our ability to read effort – which is a big challenge given racing and training ultimately require triangulation between pace and perception of effort. During the off season, especially the first few months of the off season, pick 2-3 workouts over a given week, and execute the session, but block the data from being seen until after. How’d you do? Were you able to come pretty close? Do you get closer after a few workouts? Working on this is fun, but also helps you better understand how “feel” impacts performance in workouts and races down the road!
