THE BODY CENTRE Posted September 6, 2007 Share With the fan on, your body doesnt have to expend additional energy to keep cool ... so you have all of that available for more power to the pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted September 6, 2007 Share yes yes, I know that Pops and Ronelle, but will this really help me get better? What I mean to say is, when I'm racing I['m not going to have a fan on me, my HR will be higher and my PowerOutput will be lower, so is it wise training in conditions you not likely going to experiance when racing? Just feels like I'm cheating at the moment with the fan to acvieve Higher Power Output at reduced HR, is a lot easier, normally I could not finish my L5 intervals and now I can do a few more if I wanted to..

Groot Lem Posted September 6, 2007 Share And you will still drop in the gutter, and sit at the wrong place in the sprint. NO equipment will teach you that. play more on the bikes and enjoy it. This sounds like work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted September 6, 2007 Share thx Ronelle, but I think my results will speak louder than words, I'll be able to tell after this season if I've gotten any stronger, but thx for listening to my ramblings GrootLem, it's been so long, now BITE ME PANSIE!

Velouria Posted September 6, 2007 Share hehe - I have to agree with GrootLem Marius. Stop worrying over the little things - either way you are getting a good workout. If you really want to see a difference in your racing, go racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted September 6, 2007 Share yeah yeah, if only there was road races, but I'm stuck with doing Mtb races, maybe all this steady state Mtb races have made me better at holding the same power Output for longer, but it's not helping one bit for intervals eg Road Rcing, I remember how I suffered getting road race fit after all the Mtb'ing, it's really hard so you doing Esslesfontein?

Velouria Posted September 6, 2007 Share You could have ridden WP champs, or the Helderberg circuit race - so no excuses. Naah - not doing Esselfontein. I think I will leave it to Titus to kick your ass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted September 6, 2007 Share Maruis, but first, get new tyres.... Your training means nothing if you stand along the road, waiving to us. popeye2007-09-06 03:17:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Posted September 6, 2007 Share "Baan" - wat is dit? Ek gaan Killarney begin die 12de, as dit my nie Road fit kry nie sal niks dit vir my kan doen nie. Wat is Selanti? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted September 6, 2007 Share Selati - dis 'n suiker brand. Koop dit by checkersEn Lem, jy beter begin train, het Dick verlede saterdag middag gesien train , in die reen, op sy MTB. Die mannetjie train skelm. En hy raak al hoe kleiner :-)Jy moet hoor hoe hy saam met die pro outjies 4 passes doen. Laat jou hare regop staan op jou arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest colonel Posted September 6, 2007 Share I must add here and nail me please I dont mind, I still to this day do not see the "must have benefits" of PowerTraining. If i have power I can get up a hill, go with a break etc I dont need a machine that costs between R6000? and R20 000 to tell me today my legs are tired? If you use it for intervals etc then say you run a 10min interval at 175bpm @ say 40km/h then if you are getting stronger from the training you will be able to run it at 10min@ 175bpm but now you are doing 43km/h, you are getting stronger. As I said IM not mocking power training at all here but I dont seem to understand the whole concept or the dire need to train with power or am I missing something here?colonel2007-09-06 04:13:04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
