Welcome to the daily workout thread for the new year and decade. This continues the idea from the original thread .

Oh, I know. I upload everything to Strava and see the miles there, but I’d like to see them tick by in real time on TR.

Close your eyes for this reply then :stuck_out_tongue: I used to have cliff bars on the bike, but it got just too expensive. I can buy 10 stroopwaffels for the price of 1 cliffbar. Looking at the labels (energy wise) two waffles make about one cliffbar. Although cliffbar is lower in fats and will …

[image] mcneese.chad: A) Definitely easy to see the High Flywheel Speed leads to much more power data fluctuation. B) Also possible to see that if you are steady on cadence (I was most of the time with a 3 watt range once I settled into each step), you can really keep the power smooth in RES, p…

Yeah, partly. I did it spurred by the resurgence of the ERG vs RES discussion, and my general interest in learning more about how this all works. I had that in mind during the warm up, and hatched it in the very moment. Figured out the RES setting that allowed the same gearing to match my ERG cad…

Sure possible to see the variability in power data via flywheel speed changes. I should load a real power meter on for some of these workouts to see what it picks up vs the trainer. We have seen some interesting data reported from Shane and Tariq, that show deviation from “real” power as the speed…

[image] mcneese.chad: would guess that is true for flat road and dealing with variable wind. I wonder about things like longer and mild climbs, if those tend to be more stable I’ve posted “smooth power” outdoor rides on both flat and climbs in this post on the Big vs Little Chainring thread

Love that post. Somehow I missed it originally. And overall, I do expect just about any outside activity is bound to be more variable. Potential influences from wind, road conditions and such are going to lead to those peaks and valleys.

My second successful over and under workout. This right out of bed with a couple of gels and a bottle of HEED. On a borrowed trainer. [image]

Save my Stroopwaffles from United flights to use later on bike rides. My wife is forbidden from buying them for me. Pro Tip – United also has amazing Albanese gummy bears on international flights (as opposed to Haribo). OK, with sugar / carbs out of the way, today was a nice solid 1 x 60 min +/- V…

Still adjusting to the increased demands of SSBMV2. Yesterday’s threshold workout “Donner” got me. I was blowing up about halfway through the 2nd interval and had to dial it down by 5%, but was able to complete it after that. [Donner] Tonight did “Clark”. Glad I can still manage my sweet spot w…
