This is not a message to be proud off or one to be aspiring too. Not just in cycling but in many sports,poor and dysfunctional relationships with food are a huge concern.

Last week I was on a panel with an Astronaut/Navy Seal, elite marathoner, & a coach to the best triathletes The topic: Achieving peak performance with an undercurrent of usage of data Where did we end up on what mattered most? "The human element is key. It comes down to love"

Great news that @wholegreenjuice is reopening again under the stewardship of @OptimalFitLK and his wife Mary, taking over the business from Anna Good who did a tremendous job in creating #Wholegreen. Both Michael & Mary are warmly welcomed to the area. bit.ly/3fv8yiR

Is it any wonder athletes find it hard to take a day off and recover when you have “elite/pro” athletes saying “rest day today….I only did”………and continue to list the so called easier activities/workouts they did that day. Nothing close to a rest day.
