20 min test done this morning

Got stronger as I went along so still think there may be a few more watts in there.

I'm just not prepared to go bang in the first 5 mins.

I've done a couple of 100 milers. My distraction is music or riding with others. I can't listen to people talking so podcasts are a no-no as are tv programmes. I could watch football but only if the team I want to win are winning!

100 minutes on Saturday was quite hard. 10 mins at 220w warm-up, 2 mins at 325, 2 mins at 365 into 30 minutes at 265. Recovery 12 minutes then repeat and cool down at 220w. These sessions are given to me and I was surprised it launched straight into 220 watts with the same as a 'cool down.'

Gobi, or anyone else that uses a Wattbike.

On Zwift, the cadence I’m riding at isn’t correct as it seems to jump in around bands of 10rpm. I contacted Wattbike and they confirm what I suspected in that there’s nothing wrong with the bike as the cadence is correct in their app. It is also correct when I use MyWhoosh.

I’m using an iPad, and everything is uptodate on it.

I was just wondering if you have similar on Zwift?

I failed my session on Saturday. 30 mins warm up and then 2 x 35 minutes at 270w split by 30 minutes at 220w before 10 mins cool down. As I started the second 35 minutes I just had nothing in my legs and after 15 minutes of grinding it out I quit.

I was carrying a cold and in hindsight I should have pushed it to the next day.

Nobody is perfect mate

I got caught at karate Friday and have twanged my ribs AGAIN so Saturday was a bit of a write off

However i was rested for my long ride Sunday so I nailed it with 311 watts for an hour up Ventop, yesterday turned into 2 very easy rides which on reflection was still too much. Today I have no ride and may skip running again even though my ribs are improving.
