Controlling the facial expression is a great one. I put on the "I am a killer!" Face (because I'm going to crush the workout). Sharp grunts also help me. I have also adopted Amber from TrainerRoad's mantra. "NOT DEAD YET!" I love suffering, especially after coming out on the other end alive! Thanks for another great video!
As for the face theory, I unknowingly applied this with a unknown new group ride. I didn't want to get dropped, so was very serious and talked very little. I just focused on say upright, cause the riders were unknown, and their skills as well. My buddy who was chatting up, got dropped.
I think you're right, the fear of pain.. .which is basically the anticipation of it, sets the bar for when to quit.. So as you ride, the pain arrives and this is your pre-set signal that the fear is coming to reality, now that it's arrived, you quit or go slower.
I know it is an older video, but must admit mate, doing an awesome job Really enjoying your channel. Keep up the good work as I have no doubt your channel will grow quick.
Awesome content. This video is a gem. One thing I’d love is if you did a brief 30 second recap of the main points covered at the end of the video. Im grateful for you and your channel Drew!!
Very interesting and helpful

Good idea. Thanks!
Great video. I have a solid session coming up tomorrow. Will try the serious face approach and see if it gives me a few extra watts.
That’s right!!! Get after it buddy.
@@DrewDillmanChannel I think it helped, though there was no masking the pain of a 20km ITT on Saturday
Great Video Drew! Been looking for something like this, appreciate it!
Thanks for watching!
