I am in SSB1mv, in my third week. I am almost exclusively a mountain biker in the real world, and the trails I ride are quite technical, and full of short to medium duration, steep technical climbs. On the mountain bike, I rarely get to spin. except for short durations. Many of the workouts I’m doin…

I also mountain bike and found low cadences to be a more natural way to ease into SSB1LV which I will finish this week. Initially I ignored TR cadence suggestions, for example I did the ramp test with 63 avg cadence. But I found it difficult to stick to target power at such low cadence with sustaine…

Jumping on this thread, not to cause duplicates. How important are the recommendations? I know coach chad has mentioned that just stick to a cadence that suits you.
