Are your workouts intense enough?

Change is only possible if we quit doing things the way we have always done them.

Last year I rode my bicycle for over 6500 miles. All this did was make me tired.
A lot of cyclist I know get caught up in the mileage game. When we talk about training, we always mention how far a training ride was. (example, I rode 58 Miles yesterday)

This year my focus is on adding greater intensity and cutting back on the mileage. More high intensity intervals (1 - 3 Minutes) No more two hour recovery rides. I should be faster and yet more energetic.

We don't have to train as long or as often if we bump up the intensity.
