Glad you got it sorted...I wonder how often I should do the advance spindown...maybe when I feel I cant hold the threshold intervals, I will know something is wrong.

 

How did your Kickr compare to the p1?

 

officially once is good enough provided the unit is not being moved often.

off record - every 3 odd months.

its quick to do. and if it means i get the best accuracy, then i will do it every now and then.

 

Kickr vs P1

They are so close it's impossible to discern any difference.

I'm doing Knysna double this weekend so think I might skip those sick intervals you got planned.

#varkhart, I will see you there tonight.

Rode a WBR training ride at 18:35 last night. Group leaders was a South African and there were many in the group.

 

Great training session, real good workout. These training rides beat the hell out of normal sessions on a trainer.

[Veebee]

I got a few rideon's last night from a few locals during a wbr 1 lap, sorry for not giving it back.

not able to use my phone while suffering and being stuck above ftp... good workout though.

I once did a 5 and a half hour session - to get the 100 mile challenge - non stop 

did it with a friend

and believe it or not, that afternoon we did a road race of 100km outside...

was good training for the DC

I've completed the 100 miler challenge, so yes was a tad longer than 2 hours, but regularly do 2 hour+ sessions. No problems experienced and the immersive nature of Zwift makes it far more tolerable than just riding a standard IDT.

Thanks, I normally break up my longer rides into intervals but its so hard to remain focused.

 

Will give this a try soon.
