Another completely true quote that really motivates me. I always know that if I don’t put in the hard work now, I’ll never be able to enjoy success later. Also I am so excited for the London 2012 Olympics! Who’s excited to watch it?

Focus on cadence: Racers pedal in the range of 80 to 100 rpm. Make sure that you are not going above this cadence. If you are, you need to add more gear. If you are in too high of a gear and not within the range, you are putting too much pressure on your knees and could be injured.
Work both the push and pull: Remember that you have two actions while cycling, the push (done with your quads) and the pull (done with your hamstrings). If you don’t have shoes that clip into pedals, you should buy some, even if you use a stationary bike. This will allow you to work on the pull motion and equalize it with the push.
Leg isolation training: Every once in while, try to use just one leg for a few minutes. Feel the strength in your right leg and you only use it to push and pull the pedals. Then switch to the left leg. This will allow you to get rid of any weaknesses and any tendencies to favor one leg over the other.
Happy Cycling!

I really like this quote because it reminded me of the tortoise and the hard analogy. Sometimes, I feel like the hare in life. I do really great at first, but then I lose sight of my goals. The tortoise definitely takes this piece of information to heart in the fable, and he’s able to win the race!
