In terms of community and functionality this is hands down the best forum about cycling/training. Hats off to @Nate_Pearson and team for not only creating it but really doing a great job…
I have only one complaint and that is its so good I found myself constantly checking in through the day for updates, new threads etc like I’m some idiot who can’t control himself…I can only hope it fades when the weather improves and i can train more and surf less!
yeah, I’m hooked, I’ve stopped going on other cycling forums (well, I had stopped before this forum started because chatter on some other forums isn’t really intelligent). The discussion here has been top notch, even when people disagree it’s super civil
Yeah, it is addictive. But it also makes me wonder: if we spend so much time reading and posting, when are we doing training? and why aren’t we on a higher volume plan?
Nope. I spend time on here via breaks at work, after my evening workout & dinner, and morning as I have my coffee… and also during some workouts (SS and below).
All this is with a 5-day commitment to Mid Volume plans. I can’t handle 6 days on the bike, or the stress that comes along with the High Volume plans.
Plenty of my time on the forum is effectively during my “rest” periods, that is not something I can fill with bike work and still have the rest of the time for what I need to do.
