That's decoupling for ya...but that should be fine though, if you starting decoupling 3hrs into your ride you have some way to go

 

Yip

nothing like chasing a few Strava KOMs to decouple a bit sooner

 

That's why I mostly train on my own cos' my cycling buddies love Strava

(me too)

:D Yeah well, for most of us it's PRs that end up ruining your training ride, knowing I should be at 140bpm but if I push this bit I could get that illusive PR and clock strikes 4hrs and the legs have their revenge.

 

But as long as we enjoy it as well I guess

So the cold that took me out of Cullinan and rendered me cycle-less last week, has put me three weeks behind schedule :thumbdown:

 

According to my calcs I'll only be back on my planned fitness level last week of June. But these things happen.

 

On the upside, I retook my 3min power test this morning and I'm 15Watts up from end of March :thumbup:

How do you conduct that 3 min power test?

MMP test / mean max power

 

Warmup 12 min at 100-150 watts

High cadence(115rpm+, 200watts+),15 second burst from 8 minutes to 12 minutes. So basically do one every minute.

Recover 3 minutes...to bring hr down a bit

Go till you blow for 3 minutes....115rpm+. Upload to software and get maximum minute power aka highest avg power sustained for 1 minute in your 3 minute test

Go here and get training zones http://wattbike.com/...ones_calculator
