Jorrie Posted September 8, 2015 Share Interresting all the stats... Although the powerbeam has had a huge positive effect on my power output there is one thing that's bothering me. On my old giant IDT I used to avg between 90-100 rpm, now I'm struggeling to avg more than 80!As soon as I drop a gear to up the revs my power starts to drop. Guess I'll have to do some high cadence sessions...is this something to worry about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted September 8, 2015 Share Do you guys want to go flat and fast or a route with between 300 and 400m climbing over 22-24km? For next Tuesday that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher cadence, lower watts but same speed possibly? Will have to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saag Posted September 9, 2015 Share Also notice that but thinking about it I guess one needs to see if your actual speed drops. Higher cadence, lower watts but same speed possibly? Will have to check it out.Saw the same and I did actually check. Speed stayed the same for me. Problem is I was trying to get it up some. The gradient and effort did feel wierdly disconnected, but probably due to the sustained effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dgas Posted September 9, 2015 Share What time did the racing start? i was ready at 7.30 at which point it had been under way for 28 minutes already. I also got a message that my trainer was now disconnected. It worked fine a while later when I rode a video route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted September 9, 2015 Share Rouxtjie het jy bietjie terug gehou....?? LOLWens ek kan se ek het TK, maar ek sou lieg....die zones was opgestel en reg vir my ou FTP toe ek lekker fiks was(einde van laas jaar). Dis nogal n eye opener om te sien hoe stront jy kan word in 6 maande...maar nou ja, terug in die saal. ITO the power / cadence question....what I have picked up is that the powerbeam is cruel but fair. If you drop your cadence and select a harder gear you will put out more power, like in real life, if you want to maintain that power number in an easier gear, you have to obviously up the cadence. The question is can you maintain that. It doesn't react different to other powerbased training kit I have been on before. When I did a wattbike training block I remember the instructor being EXTREMELY focused on cadence of above 90 for most of your intervals. Its quite hard if you trained you body to be a diesel and now you want it to be a petrol and the first couple of session I nearly died, but after a while you get used to it. You want to stress cardio more than muscle since the recovery is much shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
