LongDonkey Posted April 1, 2020 Share My average and max heart rate seemed quite a bit lower than it would be at the same speed in the real world. My average was 121 and I normally average at about 135. My max was 139 and I normally max at about 165 in the real world. I suspect my resistance setting is too low on the trainer even though I followed the recommendations on the trainer manual.Think you should also disconnect the Kawasaki from your trainer too. You looked like you were pulling 450 to 500 watts straight off the start line. FTP at 160%. Edited April 1, 2020 by LongDonkey mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter-morgan Posted April 1, 2020 Share Thanks, although I’m a bit puzzled as I certainly don’t think I should have been that far ahead of everyone. I used a dumb trainer and I have logged my correct weight etc. Not sure what else I could have set incorrectly that would distort my performance. I’m fact, I slowed down on purpose after the halfway mark as I felt a bit guilty! Anything that I should check?Dumb trainer does not change your resistance unless you have a power meter then you should change it yourself.

Dexter-morgan Posted April 1, 2020 Share I have to admit, I did stop halfway up the climb, just because when the second time check came-up I hammered it.Mr Long Donkey, you also did very well, so who is going to set-up the next race/online ride.

Neville Bailey Posted April 2, 2020 Share I think I have sorted out my unrealistic performance on my dumb trainer. I am using a Giant Cyclotron Mag II trainer, which is not included on Rouvy's list of trainers, so I assumed that the Giant Cyclotron Fluid Comp trainer would work for mine, so I chose it. After the race, I contacted Rouvy and they suggested that I select the Deskbike trainer under "Other", which I did and then did a route yesterday evening. The results were much closer to reality, in terms of heart rate, power output and speed. Rouvy automatically adjusts the speed depending on the gradient, cadence and heart rate, for dumb trainers. So it seems that the Deskbike trainer matches the power curve to my trainer much more accurately than the Fluid Comp trainer. So when is the next race? I will now probably come stone last!
