Riding on Ritalin
My Dr has me on maintenance Ritalin for ADD and it has changed my life. I'm a better employee, better member of my family (less disruptive) more focused etc. AND a better cyclist however I hesitate to include that with all the Landis stuff going on just now. I am only a recreational cyclist and find Ritalin effects my cycling in the following ways:
1. More motivated to get out there
2. More motivation to use the indoor trainer when can't get out
3. More endurance (yea I know its speed)
My heart rate does not appear to be affected by Ritalin, it certianly is by over training.
I'm intrested to know what others who are taking this drug for non performance enhancing purposes experience in their rides.
thanks in advance
