Who's using Fittrack to determine fitness levels ?

Morning All

I have been tracking my fitnes levels for the Argus by using the Fittrack website ,but I am not sure the indicators are accurate.

I have opted for a 3h30 time ,and according to the tracker I am still on target . mmmmmmmmmmm not so sure with al those bloody hills !!!

what is you experience using this programme or something simmilar?

I use it as motivator , to try and aim for improvement the whole time as if you miss two three days you see your score dips quite a lot.

From what I have read it give you a score on average time spend over the last six weeks with a moving average, if you average around 10 hours with decent intensity as far as I know it will estimate that you should then make it in 03:30.

However some people will ride a better time than others on the same training . So you should see this as your score to measure yourself and not to measure you against anybody else. I am aiming for a 03:15 min in the Argus and is currently at around 60 points. I want to take it up to just above 70 by the Argus.

its good for motivation..... I started a program aiming at sub 4 hour ARGUS which for me is realistic, and Fittrack thinks I can do that if I have a score of 50 the week before.

 

My current score is more like 55 and climbing, slowly now as I am reducing my workouts before the xterra, but I hope I will be close to 65 or 70 by a week before the Argus (and 10kg lighter than now) and I would then expect to do it in 3:30 - 3:45 but we will see what the weather does.

 

Maybe I should change to the program for sub 3:30 and see what it suggests I need to do?

 

I have... seems I am on track for that too
