If you want different results, you need to change!

Remember the classic saying attributed to Albert Einstein “Insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expect different results.”

I was reminded of this today when I had finished teaching a class for GCC and ran into a student from a previous class. I asked how his new training program was coming along and got that “nails on the chalkboard “ answer-I don’t have time. BUT he did have time to continue doing multiple group rides during the week. AND he was getting dropped on the hill sections again-just like before the classes.

I just walked away.

 In that series of classes, I stressed over and over that riders would need to break their old habits of social group rides in order to work on weak points.  Easier said than done.

As a Coach, teacher and trainer, it is one of the most frustrating parts of my job. Giving clients new skills and the program in which to develop those skills and they hold on to their hold ineffective patterns.

Part of training smarter, is to realize what is working and what isn’t.
