General Philosophy: “Replicate what you are training for”
I do wonder sometimes that we make our training and environments too “optimised” with off bike breaks during intervals, cooling fans, towels, etc.

Be consistent and embrace the process!

Keep up with your training sessions for as long as possible to ensure old age remains fun.
I train therefore I am.
