There aren’t many people out there trying to help in the long run so that is appreciated. It doesn’t make for flashy advice but gains gained quickly are lost quickly. I also love the tip about testing- it is missed far too often and I would imagine most of the PB demographic rarely do it (I certainly didn’t!). If you want to improve you have to know if you have improved or not!
The final tip is another I think people rarely do. One day just go bat sh.t mental up a hill! Surprise yourself and challenge your body. Two things that have helped shock my body are a power meter and a singlespeed. Both are opposite ends of the zen/ geek scale but both can make you do some pretty uncomfortable things out on the trails (and I’m not talking socks and SPD sandals on the SS
).
Really great video to get people thinking outside the normal in your face advice smothered all over the interwebz
