Well, I recanted the "revelation" and attributed that unfortunate use of the word to ... some subconscious connection with the word "revolution" in the title of the book referenced. "Observation" is more like it, and all you need to get or not get out of it is that there is (as is well-recognized) benefit to anaerobic stimulation, and there are short-cut ways to achieve it that don't include sweat- inducing sprints. Throw a rope or towel around a tree trunk, maybe 3-feet above the ground. Grab the end of the rope. Start from a deep squat, and take 45 seconds to extend up to about a 150-deg angle in your leg, and another 45 seconds to lower yourself to the starting point. Go slow, and you'll see how hard it is. If it's too hard, modify the range, but keep the speed slow---move up no more than an inch a second. That's all I'm talking about. Do that 2-3 times a day, 1-3 times a week, and see how it goes. It's harder than climbing a hill, and is a good thing for riders who live where there are no hills. It's hard for flatland riding to strengthen legs, because the muscles aren't stressed anaerobically. The same can be done on a leg press, but the tree-and- rope way is more convenient & cheaper. Thassall, o'er & out. G
