Saw this from Rory Sutherland on cyclingnews.com:
"I read something that disturbed me recently. Someone said, "The harder you train, the better you go." I do not agree with this statement. Everyone is different, and everyone needs different things. One needs to train smarter, not harder. We see this first hand as professionals in this sport. We observe our teammates and training partners. I hope this is not what is being taught to those kids trying to become professional athletes."
I guess we can all take something away from this, whether we're aspiring young elite riders or struggling masters with families.
