There are a million things that could impact a cycling performance. Could we, I don’t know, change our diet to be slightly more optimal than it is this week, and do that by next week? And everybody goes, yep, we could do that! OK. What else could we do? Could we do more in the gym this week? Could we alter our attitude slightly? Could you do that?

The key factor here is that I made learning, then writing/recording and sharing it online, a daily obligation, not just an interest.
