Many of us can look at the metrics, but how deep is our understanding? Today, we look at the decorations of triathlon in your training platform. Are you just becoming addicted to new numbers for the sake of it? Are the numbers confusing you more than letting you be your best? Do you really understand how you feel during a given workout? Should you push harder or take the pedal off the gas? Is your FTP right today? Data is helpful but it should have a beautiful connection with the way you feel.
