New perspective of training

Over the past 3 weeks I have been working with a new coach, Andy from PerfromanceMTB. All sessions have been based on the heart rate zones and times within these on a ride. Most of last year was consumed with my average speed on a ride and mile munching, which looking back was horrible. Always looking at how you weren't seeing benefits from 100mile+ weeks and being annoyed with a sub 17.5mph average. This year with speed not a data field on my activity tracker, I'm enjoying being out in the open riding my bikes. Only concentrating on cadence, heart rate and time. I already feel stronger a fitter so here's to the next 11 months.
