Short term thinking can harm your potential as a cyclist. Big statement I know - but if you want to improve as much as possible - then allow yourself to think big and plan for each phase in your development. If you don’t then you risk not having the year-on-year gains that are part of upgrading your fitness, and also thinking more holistically about your skill development and forming habits.
