eccc whippet Posted April 14, 2016 Share I had a look at my fitness level...level 1 (poor) log an avg of between 1300 and 2500 point per week... doing 3 intense interval cadence training sessions per week... a couple 5 km walks a week at an avg speed of around 7 km/h between 60 and 80 km cycle on sat morning... between 60 and 80 km cycle on a sunday or a mtb 45 km race...last race finished in 2.33 (for me that is fast compared to the 3.45 i normally do them) eeeeish so how to do improve your fitness level...my body is telling me i am over doing it a bit...last cadence session it felt like someone was hitting my legs with a hammer...maybe change my routine and add in 4 gym sessions and a week...i certainly cant cycle any more than i am at present.

If I'm not mistaken, That level is calculated based on the online fitness assessment you do. I don't think it considers number of activity points you accumulating.

carbon29er Posted April 14, 2016 Share Imagine entering an IronMan to get Vitality points....and then only getting 300. Lol. Surely by the time you do your IronMan you have no points left of your 30,000 any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted April 14, 2016 Share and welcome to discovery where your opinions dont matter and the points dont count. (do you remember "whos line is it anyway" HAHAHA) I just feel the person in charge of the chart was rushing on a friday and could not be bothered to complete the table for 70-79%. They should have a column for strava KOM's per week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 14, 2016 Share I updated it an hour ago...tells me my fitness level is poor at level 1...seems I am doing something wrong...how important is the assessment ?pretty important. The stretch tests and pushup test is critical for that score. As is the hr reading after the step test eccc whippet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veebee Posted April 14, 2016 Share I updated it an hour ago...tells me my fitness level is poor at level 1...seems I am doing something wrong...how important is the assessment ? You have to go to a Biokineticist to have the fitness assessment done and then Click/Dischem to get the screening tests done, all of this contributes towards your fitness level. If you trying to get it to 5 by just adding the hours of exercise you do then I don't think it's gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclewizz Posted April 14, 2016 Share And I remember how you said your HR struggles to get high enough to meet the new targets [emoji39] It does but yesterday it was a bit wonkey (the device) and it was reading very high, eventually it came right but that helped get some extra points. Last week I got a lot less points.Vitality never picked up my weekend rides so I got 0 instead of 200 (before was 6000 points for the weekend rides). Let me know if you need some points to pay off the Apple watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful, you don't overtrain. I admire your commitment and tenacity, but the more we age the more recovery time we need. Your regime seems hectic. No rest days?
