you don’t have to always ride long to train. You have to be more purposeful if time’s short.
Absolutely! Some of us are doing a #itsonly10miles thing to encourage us to get out more often, even if it is for a short ride. I think this is beneficial for both Rowan and me as we build up strength again.
