There are not many athletes who can honestly say that their performance is never affected by mental or psychological factors.

This is probably the best article I’ve read yet on how to improve your mental game. The website also has great information on power, training and cycling. Check it out here. If you don’t read this whole clip at least take this in: I once asked a champion cyclist how they went so fast for so long. [...] I’m not fast enough. I put in so much work but I just can’t get faster. I eat this, I wear these and I sleep in an altitude tent. Why am I not getting faster? Do a quick search for “fast” in google and you will have more than 725 million websites to choose from. That’s [...] So you want to win Kona? Well I’m going to tell you how.

In this post, I’d like to talk about the first part of the season [...] People daydream about all sorts of things. Cars, sex, money, and bike porn. It was about 4:15 yesterday (at work) when I had this moment of clarity. I was dreaming of scheduling or more specifically, “the best training program ever made”. Working with myself and two other athletes gives me a lot of feedback on how [...] This is a great way article by Lance Watson and Lucy Smith. This is something that I experimented with last year and quite enjoyed it. Working through a set of controlled-pace intervals on the treadmill can be very fun, motivating and encouraging. You receive specific feedback from the treadmill that allows you to gauge your fitness [...]
Stretching: Hate it, love it but do you need it? Previous studies have demonstrated that an acute bout of static stretching may cause significant performance impairments.
