Mojo - Got Some?
Postby ValleyForge » Fri Oct 17, 2014 1:54 pm
I need it back for the 90k ride with 1800m of climbing tomorrow.
I'd be keen to hear what works for people.

Other than that, I don't know. It happens sometimes.

Both really - but the latter is more elusive. Having said that I did a regular 50km hilly solo ride on Wednesday with 30 something Strava trophies on a beautiful day and felt, well, meh. And there are times when I get out there and I'm powered by angry pills and the red mist comes over..... I want that back!Crawf wrote:Mojo? Are you referring to motivation or a good purple patch (form)?

I head out for a gentle bimble with no objectives or expectations.
Before I know it some bugger passes me of I find something in my legs I didn't know I had and I'm going full pelt again.
Losing your mojo just happens sometimes but it usually comes back for me when I stop worrying about it.
Sometimes the task of going out and thrashing yourself every ride is not sustainable.

Sure, don't be doing it every week, but what's wrong with once in a while?
How I got my mojo back? Gave up triathlon, realising I was only good at the bike, crashed, broke some ribs, bought new bike. Heaps of motivation now.
Maybe you just need a new bike.

Would a new one for my daughter do? A clean and silent drivetrain is a definite feelgood though.RonK wrote:Sounds like you need a new bike.
Yesterday's ride went a fair way to getting mojo back. Although didn't feel that way when I was in the pain amplifier; came good on the final sprint. For coffee.

Mojo came back after 7 days off the bike with 5 days in the gym. Just strength - mostly upper body & trunk. Go figure.
