Sorry to be a know-it-all, being a considerable noob to the realm of cycling, but I do have a degree in biology. Textbook knowledge admittedly, when it comes to biochemistry.

alpinerabbit, no problems. I'm only quoting from knowledge I've gained which is all lay knowledge and I don't have a degree in biology. Computer work and physics is my expertise. And my physics knowledge (did ionospheric research in college) is mostly old and mothfilled.

Thank you all so much for the replys. I still have to wait a couple more months to get outdoors with my bike (I hate riding in the snow) and try out the 15 min brake because in a spinning lesson that just wouldn't make any sense

I have noticed though that when I take one song easier with lighter pedalling I will "recover" and am then able to drive as hard as beofre if not even harder! So there's like this obstacle and once i'm over it it's all good

I had to read the texts about two three times before I was able to completely understand it since English is not my mothertongue and it was all this scientific stuff. Luckily I study at the moment in English stuff like chemistry and mechanics so this is all very good practise for me in that sense as well I might still read it couple more times just to be on the safe side

Well, keep up the good work with the studies. I know that I could have never understood all the science in the text if it was written in Finnish, or likely any of it for that matter. I tend to think that we don't really teach our kids enough about other languages in the States we just assume and expect everyone to speak English, which is arrogant.
