I've read that many cyclists don't do enough of the long slow rides, or even recovery rides, because it's so slow and easy. I'm logging base miles right now, and I have to admit that it's damn tempting to drop the hammer. I can't tell you the last time I did a ride where my HR averaged 132bpm and didn't get over 145bpm.
You want to justify going harder/faster by telling yourself that you're losing fitness by going so easy. That's some bad thinkin' to get into. I've got to focus on the bigger picture...otherwise I'll not make it without screwing up my routine.
Ohh, have I mentioned that I hate lifting weights? Well, I do.
