Have a look at Trainerday if you want a similar experience to TrainerRoad, or MyWhoosh if you prefer watching a little person on the screen like Zwift

If you head towards Ballito, Holla Trails offers a bike hire and they offer Trek Marlins and some E-bikes too

Thanks. Let me know if you would like to get rid of it at a later stage

Have you decided what you are doing with the rim yet?

If you are getting ride of it I would be happy to take it. Could you PM some pics?

Looking for a 29" Roval aluminium rim if anyone has one lying around?

.

Thanks, either is fine. I don't think she will be too fussed at this stage

Hi guys, Im looking for any 10 speed goodies for my daughters bike. Cassette, derailleur, chain, shifter and possibly a 1x chainring. Let me know what you have. Also willing to pay

Check out trainerday.com There is a monthly fee of ~R70 p/m but the plans are great

I think e-bikes are great but for those that use Strava as a yardstick on their training or progress against other normal bikes, it does skew the results. I don't know why everyone is giving the OP so much flak, maybe he likes the results to be on a level playing field. This might be important to him and a whole bunch of people so just because it isn't important to YOU, it doesn't mean he feels the same. Stop being d00$es and be lekker. Its not difficult for those with e-bikes to change the setting on Strava to omit the results from the segments.

How did you feel on the ride? Was it very slow?

Max ride was 70km MTB - I do not ride road Not training for anything specific, just seeing what is achievable with the MAF method and I still do an improvised version to this day. I am however trying a new approach with a sort of progressive overload in 3 week blocks but still maintaining the MAF ideology. Nothing at all....

No not really. I enjoy some of the good things like chocolates and beer. The MAF training that I mentioned is not 100% in line with his plan because of my additional high intensity workouts. I personally don't feel like training at your MAF limit ONLY, will have the highest benefits. Mixing it up like I mentioned above seems to condition your body for both the endurance and high intensity that would be experienced come race day. I also managed to lose ~4kg by using this method

I started MAF training last year in both running and cycling. Running is a new sport to me and I am not conditioned to run whatsoever so trying to run at a max of 144bpm ended up being quite frustrating. I was walking more than running and I felt like I wasn't doing enough. After about a 3 months of it with incorporating MAF into my cycling, I started to see results. They weren't groundbreaking but my endurance in both sports improved dramatically. I went from running 5kms to 21kms, I was riding with my heart rate below the 144bpm limit without event trying to keep it down. I would recover way faster after sprints and I generally felt better after exercise. I didn't however follow the MAF training religiously.... I would incorporate 1 HIIT session per week on the bike and try my best to achieve a polarized plan. It does work but you have to be disciplined and willing to go really slow. A great way to quantify your results/progress is as follows: Run - Take note of when your heart rate reaches the MAF max at the start of each and every run when running at a medium pace Ride - Choose a flat route on Zwift or outdoors and ride for the full duration with your heart rate at the MAF max and record your distance over 30 minutes. Do this once a month You will see the small victories everytime you do it. Just to add, I didnt do any rides longer that 2 hours when training below 144bpm.
