There are times when I “fail” a workout, but that can usually be attributed to an outside factor (work or family stress, etc), not necessarily poor fitness or just incapable. When this happens, I find a balance as to what I can do. As an example, last weekend I had Palisade and just couldn’t bring myself to do it, so I went with my own modification of 3X20:00 at mid-tempo pace. Result was a good, steady muscular endurance work out. I didn’t want to give up the saddle time, and didn’t want to get half way through the scheduled work out then bail. Just my take on it.
