I Failed a ride for the first time. I’m Super disappointed. I am more than halfway through “sustained power build LV”. On this mornings ride (Mt Hale) I failed. I gave up 50 minutes in (of 1:15) after already reducing the difficulty. This is super frustrating for me. This is the first time tha…

One comforting thing might be if you look at the public workouts of the same one you’ve just failed, I guarantee that you won’t be alone. These sessions are damned hard. I’ve failed a couple, learnt when to back-pedal and my fitness has gone up and up.

That’s life, don’t sweat it and move on.

During my last rest week I failed doing Whorl. I was shocked. I gave it up after 50 minutes. I too was disappointed. Looking back, it was a rest week, it wasn’t a great loss. I think my head wasn’t in it, so I couldn’t push through. Maybe I needed more rest. I just took it for what was and came bac…

So I would typically get up, eat about half a cup of Granola, drink water, have a BM, and then get on the bike. All in a…

A few people have said that if you’re not failing (I’m assuming a couple of workouts) that your FTP is too low. I struggle with this. When people fail, I see lots of comments recommending a re-test as the FTP could be too high. I honestly believe most failures start and finish in the mind. Some TR …

This is great timing, I had my first failed workout yesterday and I was feeling a bit down about not doing Dade +4 in full (normally I can just take a short break or extend a recovery and complete it, but not yesterday). But reading what people have said here lifted my spirit a lot. I also might ju…
