Block training for the mind

There is no doubt to me that block training is an efficient way to improve fitness. One thing that it also helps out is in your head and your confidence.

After yesterday I was wondering if I'd be able to do my workout out today.
I did it and was stronger than I expected. Which gives me confidence for tomorrows workout.

If you have ever done a team relay of a 24hr race, or ride several days in a row, then you might have experienced this phenomena. Where you get stronger before you get weaker.

If you never ride two days in a row hard, try it sometime. Just keep in mind that the second day you'll need to decrease the duration of the workout in order to keep the intensity high
