@Antiquixotic I shall go next week and hit the bike again at home.

@Antiquixotic Yes, absolutely. You're making complete sense, I just need to get on with it.

@Antiquixotic I have to do *something*, pandemic habits and remission have left me feeling like a bag of shit. I've always had an issue of getting frustrated at the memory of what I could do, when everything is measured.

@Antiquixotic Do you like it? I used to do a bit of strength training but immunotherapy beat the shit out of my ability to do it, but I could still do cardio if I was properly rested. I need to get back to it.

@Antiquixotic TR are similar but they suffer a bit from not-invented-here syndrome, in that they tend to be a bit huffy about research they didn't pull off themselves. The arguments about interval training are *intense*.

@Antiquixotic They've done some incredible digging here.

@Antiquixotic It is fascinating how this knowledge evolves.

@Antiquixotic Trainer Road (big data-driven cycling nerds) wanted to start capturing menstruation data because they felt it was a big hole in their plans for Women. They think it all has an affect.

@Antiquixotic If you look at any cycling forums people talk about this quite a lot, especially the inability to do mornings. Some people just cannot train early in the day.

@Antiquixotic That's a great idea. We should do that.

@Antiquixotic That's really interesting. I never thought about it, but did notice I am extremely sensitive to time of day, and it has got worse as I've got older. Around 230pm I might as well just go to sleep.

@Hollahollara @dave @HiTwo@leafposter.club Being angry and agitated all the time is miserable.

@Hollahollara @dave @HiTwo@leafposter.club A couple of years ago I spent a week at my dad's in Rural spain, before he had internet. It was weird being so antsy for three days, being out of contact with work and the socials, then after that I just didn't give a shit. It was liberating. Modern life is rubbish.

@Hollahollara @dave @HiTwo@leafposter.club There's an interview with Jamie Kilstein (who I still regard as a bit of a shit) on Rogan where he actually describes this process perfectly. Living for the rage rush.

@Hollahollara @dave @HiTwo@leafposter.club I've known a few people, men in my case, be driven crazy by social media, in that it rewires their thinking. They stopped doing anything creative and just spent all their time arguing with people they don't know about things they don't care about.

@Hollahollara @dave @HiTwo@leafposter.club Also, some of these corners of the internet can be engaging, but also leave you feeling empty and depressed because they're just bursting with negative shit.

@Hollahollara @dave @HiTwo@leafposter.club Bored men tend to find unhealthy distractions, whether it's women or YouTube Bros, or hyper-performative social justice.

@ColonReport@poa.st Struggle sessions?

@Effortless@noagendasocial.com @rwnash a lot of that here too.

@Effortless@noagendasocial.com @rwnash They must like their beer!
