Jaco-fiets Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 After tomorrow evening we might have to start a seeding run. Don't want to be a backmarker every tue evening........
TALUS Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 It is easy to handicap - we make guys add weight on their profile for the race.

rouxtjie Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 It is easy to handicap - we make guys add weight on their profile for the race.I am still not convinced it does anything wrt speed....I might be wrong. Only way to know for sure is to test the theory...ride a course of 10km and make yourself 150kg and then straight afterwards make your weight 50kg. You should obviously strive to sustain the same avg power

Showtime Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 STALKERS Â Â Â Surely you meant scientific researchers.

Jaco-fiets Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Yip! I find I have to work downhill as well. Don't care much since it is a great workout. I find when I do 2 or 3 sessions a week on the trainer I am relatively stuff on the wknds. How much truth is in the theory that 45min on a trainer = 1.5h on the road (or something like that)?
rouxtjie Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Well if you look at Dipslick and my test runs for the course our times are virtually the same but his average power is 20W more.Good work there inspector....and yes it seems you are indeed right....Just googled weight + powerbeam speed and on their own site it mentions something about resistance being set based upon rider weight or something like that.

Showtime Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 The next part of the puzzle will be TT pacing. Do you go harder uphill and rest a bit on the "downhill" or do you go more constant. Â The logic says your return for say 50W above threshold will be better used uphill because of diminishing speed gains caused by the quadratic wind resistance going downhill but I'm not 100% sure.

All IDT's just increase your speed for the same watts, which is another way around the problem. I dont know so much about 45min = 1.5h, but it is indeed tougher...tougher in the sense that there is no respite.

Fun to understand the forces and dynamics at play though. But that takes into account that IDT emulates a ride where there is no wind...I thought we riding in a vacuum.
