But is it though?
Training is all about being familiar with a particular thing, be it body position and muscle control, a feedback feeling or a thought pattern.
The more you repeat the exercise, the more your body learns to adjust / cope / repeat that exercise and you become better at it through familiarity.
The familiarity helps you to recognise when things are not right, and make the minute adjustment that is required to correct yourself and get it right.
Of all people, you should know that training makes you better Andy, otherwise how can you label yourself as "creme de la creme" and argue that it's ok for you to break the speed limits in response to an emergency situation, rather than a kid out on his Gixxer Thou for the first time doing the same speeds but getting his collar felt?
Besides, road riding, track riding and racing are three *very* different animals, and skill in one does not automatically equate to skill in another, as so many of us have found out trying to make the transition from trackdayer to racer! |
i tend to agree on the repetition thing and muscle memory, but what im trying to say is i would get it........but then we would keep going and going....boring! People learn at different speeds and this quite rightly appears to do it at the one speed, which equates to me feeling i wouldnt get value for money?
On the comment that road riding v track riding issue i totally agree! they are different, for example a line or route shape through a corner, although the plan remains similar with a start and finish point.
Interestingly there is a thread somewhere where Andy disagreed with me on this............
