The gradients of the climbs in the road race was hectic.

Easy weeks are important.

Giving the ol' engine a bit of a breather and time to adapt to the previous week's exercise stress.

Totally true, but my previous week was only 194TSS due to stupid cold. But we stick to the plan, hopefully around the 650TSS mark this week

Yeah

I take it easier when the system is down with a snotkop

With power data, it's so much easier to be accurate with pedal force when I wanna stay below, say, 180 watts avg, to not strain the engine too much.

Thanks Dale!

 

Very true, this morning I could notice I was pushing lower watts at typical HRs after my Groenkloof session on Sunday so kept my power in Z3 for the hour, felt like a solid 'threshold' ride, without straining the engine.

 

On that, guys at Spez mentioned yonks ago Burry used to do a "on bike form test" before he did hard intervals, I think testing 'decoupling' compared to a standard, anyone aware of how such a test would go?

[fandacious]

Finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel after 12 weeks of training

 

Did my first 5w/kg 5mins of the season yesterday.

 

Can only get better

I saw a video where Burry would be on the IDT checking his numbers to determine whether he should do intervals or not - brilliant

 

Working with Jeroen Swart I think at the time

 

Maybe pop him a note as he has a presence here - The Doc I think?

Yes thats it, think it was the same vid. Excellent, I'll let you know should I find anything out

Just curious, I dont have a power meter and dont really know how this work. So you did 5W/kg for 5min? I remember reading the secret race Tyler said the magic number was something like 6 or 7w/kg but for what time was that. Certainly not the duration of the race?

I think that would be for a 20-30min effort on a climb.

In tylers day, 7w for 5min was what was needed to climb on the front up d huez

 

I'd like to think it's dropped a little with epo no longer in the picture

 

6w/kg for 5 mins is ******* hard. If you're consistently pulling 6w/5mins then you'll be winning local races
