Eldron Posted May 22, 2020 Share Daaaaaaamn I cannot watch this guys videos - that nasal whine combined with the (completely unproven) smug me too attitude makes my ears hurts and brain itch in places that it can't be scratched.

Andymann Posted May 22, 2020 Share With the lockdown forcing a whole bunch of people to try (and achieve) all sorts of crazy records, has anyone in hub-land considered trying to set an hour record on an indoor trainer? With my wife being a coach, and lack of any races to train for, I have been her FTP test "guinea pig" and we have been messing around with the different types of tests - 20min vs 30min vs 3/10min vs 60min just to see which one is really accurate so she can adapt her tests and figures going forward. The 60min FTP was a real bastard but I did start wondering if there was some sort of record out there..... Eldron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hurts so much, but only for a very short duration, which is better in a way. Would like to know how they correlate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted May 22, 2020 Share Come Denmark..... you up for a challenge? No. That sneaky 40min @ 320w block your wife quietly inserted into a 3 hour ride last Sunday was quite enough for me to not want to be her guinnea pig!!!! Edit: Shyte! That was a 200tss ride. No wonder it hurt so much. Edited May 22, 2020 by Eldron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to know how they correlate. The ramp test she only does when she is doing a lactic test with blood samples taken from the ear and that is really accurate but also expensive so she doesn't do that too often. So we actually didn't do that - We were more trying to see if the 95%/90% 80% whatever rule correlated to a full 60min test. What we did find (well for me anyway) so it's not a sample(!) is that there was no way in hell I was going to be able to cycle for 60mins at the calculated FTP from the 20min test. But good point - going to ask her why we never did a ramp test as well.... Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL - yaaa I also got caught out with that one. And because Mr. Zwift newbie here hasn't realised yet that you don't have to chase all the people all of the time, the Saturday before was an all out bleed through the eyeballs chase some random Japanese guy on a lumo-bike. So when Sunday's little ride arrived I only lasted 2hrs..... Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
