JohanDiv Posted May 27, 2019 Share also doing it at the moment (week2) I hate those warmups, riding 15 min and 135w is a waste of time Maybe your FTP is set too low? They make me go around at around 180 Watts in warm ups. The warm ups and cool down helps A LOT with recovery. I never paid any attention to it, but since doing them in the structured workouts I'm actually amazed in how good and rested I feel the next day.

s14phoenix Posted May 27, 2019 Share Stage 7 is tough... I suffered to 53odd min up the climb - 5min off my best @ 48odd. Really need to get my A into Gear and start proper training again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted May 27, 2019 Share Looks like it will be stage 7 on Saturday for me. Will try some Z2 this week leading up to it, to see how I cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypot Posted May 27, 2019 Share Looks like it will be stage 7 on Saturday for me. Will try some Z2 this week leading up to it, to see how I cope. I wasn't well last week and one of my rides was at zone 0.2. (doing 365 challenge so have to do something) My heart rate was literally highest while putting my shoes on! Average BPM for the ride was 82.Take it easy and let your body recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madbradd Posted May 30, 2019 Share Jon's Mix should be loads of fun after doing the alpe earlier on the same day Jon's mix is a surprisingly tough workout. Interesting to hear that it was a workout developed for feature testing more than actual workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanDiv Posted May 30, 2019 Share Might consider rather doing Stage 7 tomorrow 07:00. Didn't realize Jon's mix was going to be a tough stage. Tonight 19:00 Stage 1Friday 07:00 Stage 7Saturday 05:00 Stage 3 and 08:00 Stage 2Then Sunday is still left open for 3 hours outside sweet spot training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohanDiv Posted June 1, 2019 Share Think I saw you..een van die vinnige manne! I finished somewhere in the 40s, legs were feeling a bit heavy right after Jon's Mix. I just did Stage 3, Stage 7 and Stage 2 back-to-back this morning to complete the tour. Took one break off the bike for a quick coffee between Stage 7 and Stage 2. Solid Saturday morning workout me thinks..timing worked out pretty well in the end fanievb, HdB and RocknRolla 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted June 3, 2019 Share Missed stage 7 completely. Went to cape town for an impromptu visit with some mates in the winelands. Saw the last opportunity for stage 7 was this morning. Anyhoo. Not too bummed about it. still only is a virtual paint job for a virtual bike... Had a blast doing the other stages, and getting motivated with this thread. Congrats to all who did 7 stages.

I put my back out [emoji2959] and the physio ordered a break from the bike, so no way could i do the 2 hour journey up the climb. I was quite bummed out about it, but in truth i ain’t gonna ride the paint job anyway. I have the tron, and it took me like about since 1982 to get it. (I was riding the MsDos ver of Zwift back then). HdB, JohanDiv and Popit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
