Don’t be surprised when you’re wind and endurance improves faster than you think.
Im very happy my body is responding to the “work load” and Im trying to set little milestones. Like this weekend, I was able to take this long hill in the *second easiest gear , lol.
Theres an expression in lifting weights, not sure if there’s an equivalent in cycling, called “newbie gains” where you make big improvements your first few months. Im getting those and It’s very encouraging. And seeing all the serious guys blowing around the loop is really motivating.
