I found a Torque Data Field for Garmins in the IQ Apps. Im a big fan of big gear intervals. Ive struggled with any progression of FTP and power in general. I always spin my way out of problems. We can make power with more cadence at the same torque. Im hoping concentrating on the torque and lowe…

Wouldn’t you be better off at the gym?

According to the TR recommended lifts, Im good. I feel the time under tension part for me is where I fail.

Worlds of difference between lifting heavy weights and sustaining much lower forces for prolonged periods of time. That’s why you don’t see elite cyclists tossing much iron around except at most for a few weeks in the winter.

Thats my thought process as well and that is where I seem to not be very good sustaining over prolonged periods of time. Ive done LSD and it makes me good at going long efficiently but doesnt really move my FTP. High Intensity work seems to move it but just still struggle at the muscle endurance re…

You’re working the wrong aspect of your physiology. It’s not about the force your muscles are producing, it’s about being able to provide the needed energy (i.e., ATP) via sustainable (i.e., oxidative) mechanisms to keep generating it.

I sometimes look at crank torque after the ride. Very occasionally, I calculate crank torque during a ride: it’s close to watts/(rpm/10), so I look at my rpm, slide the decimal point over one spot, and divide the watts by that. (This overestimates crank torque by about 5%). For example, 250 watts at…

I understand what you are saying. I can do end up doing lots of SS and Threshold and Vo2 but at the end of the day my Threshold moves very little. I can go longer in duration but the number doesnt go up. I tend to run out of heartrate when working above threshold as I rely on cadence for holding…

The torque thing has always intrigued me as in the end, watts are a by-product of two variables- force and cadence. How you create the wattage an interval or the moment in a race calls for can vary wildly in how it’s generated, be it from low cadence/high torque or high cadence/low torque. In the mo…

Good luck with that.
