Energy (& Mood)


As my first main race of the year is approaching very quickly, being only just over 3 weeks away, I am now at a stage where I'm getting some rather tough sessions in, trying to replicate parts of my race in training. A session I did this week, a 90 minute bike ride followed by a 45 minute run, is a session I have done many times before, even before stepping up the distance. It is a session where I know exactly how I should be feeling, yet this time was different! I didn't just do this session well, I smashed it! And I felt good afterwards and my body seems to have recovered rather nicely. This post is mainly about analysing how I got to this level of energy and performance. After explaining about how I got there, I give a small list at the end on how you can do it as well.
