SOME THINGS ARE FASTER THAN OTHERS

According to Rob Kitching of Cycling Power Labs, it’s important to keep as much of your training data as possible so that long-term patterns can be detected. “It’s common in cyclists to see that the cardiovascular system develops faster than the neuromuscular, so the legs lag behind in development.” This inability for the legs to keep up with the heart is hard to distinguish from a more traditional training plateau, and good data can help you decide if you need a week off, or some weight training.
