    Yeah, but when I cook for the family it's kinda important to get it done

    Was supposed to go for a ride yesterday, but traffic was *** and i was rapidly running out of light. Decided to go to gym instead. But by the time I had changed it was too late to fit in a workout and then cook dinner, and I realised that I had left my garmin on my bike. On my back seat. So all I got was the 100 points for a swipe. Meh
  3. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Pleasure, mate.

    I'm racking up my miles to buy this: https://www.lecreuset.co.za/products/cast-iron/casseroles/signature-buffet-casserole in 32cm. The miles multiplier is really helping!
  5. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Good luck, Deon.

    I try not to...
  7. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    yeah. But I'm not a sportsman... LOL. Anyway. I rev high, but I want to increase my capacity whilst revving higher, and that means kakking off at those higher revs. Whether it's 3 sessions of 2 hours per session, or 5 of 30 min per session at an even higher RPE, it's going to have the same result. My capacity will increase and I'll be able to handle it better and eventually go faster. Or, go the same speed and not *** off as much.
  8. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Oh - on the operating at that level. Also so that I get used to going down after punishing myself on the way up. Or at least that I can go faster on the way up so that my downs are more enjoyable. Tried climbing at 70% or less the other day. Climb took me twice as long as when I just don't watch my HR.
  9. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    yeah, I know. Problem is that I can currently go for hours at 70%, but not very fast. I need to train at those higher levels to raise my fitness levels, which consequently increases my efficiency and results in a slightly faster pace at those lower HRR's. NEED to fit in more HIIT sessions though.
  10. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    That's the main reason HIIT has come along, a la Tabata. Max 15 minutes, and it's results are verifiable and it's such a short session. I've only done a few of them, but they're actually damn awesome. And have superior results on fitness than the Solid state exercise does (when looking at capacity, that is)
  11. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    If I were doing it, I'd be concentrating on above threshold efforts for extended periods of time, added to sprints and cross training. Hurtbox stuff. I can diesel along for hours on end at 70% HRR if I need to (tried that) but I would like to increase my ability to operate at anaerobic levels. I'm not, that's the problem. At the moment I'm a bit super-stressed (an accumulation of factors) and I don't get a lot of time to train. But - my sessions don't last only 30 min. I'm going far longer per session.
  12. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Nope, that's just my preference. 30 min 5 times a week vs 4 hours once a week. Far lower overall time, but a far better response from the bod.

  14. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Personally, I'd much rather be able to train all out for 30 min a day than once a week at full taps. Also think it'd be far better for me, too. Add that to the research being done on HIIT vs Steady State exercising and the resultant benefits of a shorter, high intensity effort...
  15. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Can't say yes to the last one, but from a combined income perspective on the 2nd last point... yeah (JUST)
  16. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    I'd be crying myself to sleep for the rest of my life...
  17. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Terry - that's still something I want to do - take a long exposure shot from Signal Hill overlooking CT at night, then overlooking the bay, and out to sea...
  18. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Cool. And lol. Anything goes with knee-pads.
  19. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Black for MTB white for road? EDIT: Must say - as far as ballet shoes go, these are pretty cool.
  20. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Buddy, we ARE the world's 1%. That's how the world's 0.001% live...
  21. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    FOMO. I really wish I was back at Welvanpas today.... Exactly as above, just without the snow. Feck. I need a cycling holiday.
  22. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    that's not a boat, it's a floating city...
  23. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    I hate you right now.
  24. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    You!? Fact?! It's all gumpf - what do you know!? I want your credentials.
  25. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Must say - it's a very clean looking bike.
