I heard in some podcast I cannot recall that combining hard mental work with physical training simultaneously can create a stronger adaptation specially on the capacity to sustain pure suffering. They mentioned this test (link below) that can easily be done in the trainer. Stroop Effect …

I am still to locate the podcast but, while searching, I came across this article which seems to support the idea that mental endurance is a key performance factor.

That unknown is something I need to work on as I begin to question my own stamina against others i…

What makes all of this interesting is the different strategies that can be used to manage situations like this… In a race situation it’s unpredictable how long our rivals can hold a certain effort, but based on the intervals we’ve been doing in training it’s predictable how long we can hold those e…
