This is huge motivator for me. I would have certainly abandoned several of my efforts during a number of training sessions, but I kept pushing myself to follow the plan on power graph. I haven't trained anywhere near this intensity during the past two years. Heck, I'm challenged to think of a more than just a couple of races where I actually raced this hard in that same time frame.
