Sven137 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Hi I normally cycle quite well and have a fair bit of power.. But i Sunday I struggled up satellite Hill and generally did not have the power and strength I normally have.. In fact satellite was a struggle.. Any idea why and how I can avoid feeling weak.. I'm weekend warrior doing around ave 21 kph and am not sick.
Robrider Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Could be a number of reasons: Over trained (even week end warriors can over train if they step up their training fast)Stress at work or homeLack of sleep (You did post at 1:08 AM )Poor nutritionJust a good-old-fashioned-off-day
Beesrib Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Ride more and stop whining.. haha. your body will sometimes disappoint
Cejay Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 It is water under the bridge move on,if your "lack of power" continues then start worrying.
reteid Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 everyone can have a bad day in any sport.if it continues i would start looking for answers.

porqui Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 You might not feel sick but could have mild flu or cold - will effect your ride. Get that average up - at least 25km/h
American Flyers Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Remember you can't have same power for the whole year. You need to do base then intervals then peak, then rest, repeat again....
Pure Savage Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 This is your bikes fault. Maybe some carbon deep sections will help. Or a new carbon frame. Maybe a power meter, yes that is it. Buy power meter, then you can tell exactly how much power you are down. In all seriousness, more time on bike and more time in the hurt locker.
