Awesome. (structured intervals in October is a bit unconventional?)
4x6(20 second sprints at Z5/95% max + 40 seconds Z3)

everyone on my trainer's team placed 1st in one race or another last season, i'm going to do whatever he tells me to do

I GUESS IF U ARE PAYING SOMEBODY, HAVING THEM TELL YOU RIDE BASE MILES TILL ABT FEB, ISNT REALLY WORTH THE BUCKS.

one of his teammates placed #1 in sunday cyclocross race
― cutty, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 18:17 (sixteen years ago) link
also 20 second sprints =! 30 minutes in Z4 or anything of that sort
― cutty, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 18:20 (sixteen years ago) link
what is Z(x)?
― Steve Shasta, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 18:20 (sixteen years ago) link
x is the interval, Z is the amount of reps

I DO KNOW A LOT!! ANYTIME U NEED ME TO CUT U OPEN...SAY THE WORD HOMIE!!
― ddb, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 18:26 (sixteen years ago) link
you aren't even good at WII surgery
― cutty, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 18:27 (sixteen years ago) link
i'd let you work on my bike tho
and i'd let you paint a picture of me holding my bike
Also in the HRM training regime of zones 1-5c, Z4 would be at/just below aerobic threshold power. The power based guys do it more calculated off of critical power/duration? xpost
― Hunt3r, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 18:29 (sixteen years ago) link
and yeah i don't think of sprint repeats as intervals. they are their own hell. thats why i dint do them and sucked at sprinting.

Wii TENNIS IS WHERE I SHINE!

right, power training is way more accurate, but you don't start that until early spring for the real pain

Mapquest says I just rode 12.8 miles (6.4 there/back to/from coffee shop, where I hanged out for 30min). It is such a gorgeous freaking day; I didn't want to come in but we're having band practice here in t-minus 90min and the jam dungeon is kind of completely out-of-control.

fatty

i'm somewhat moderate intake during the week, but on the weekends when i'm burning over 4000 calories i probably eat something every hour.
― cutty, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 21:32 (sixteen years ago) link
i really ought to buy like a flat of clif bars
― gbx, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 21:36 (sixteen years ago) link
I've been having Clif bars for brek b/c I love them, but at 250 calories it's really probably a bit much for one meal when I have desk job. They come in better flavors than stupid Luna bars, tho.

If you weigh all food and poop, you can back-calculate your metabolic efficiency, apply it against your tested CP30. When the resulting graph reaches a deflection point, you know youre in danger of overtraining.
― Hunt3r, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 21:51 (sixteen years ago) link
k i'm ready to start coaching, i just need clients. i would love to see a coach convice his athletes to weight their poop. just be all 'this is how lance did it, bitch, start weighing"!
― Hunt3r, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 21:58 (sixteen years ago) link
uh, "weigh." Or "weight," i guess. "Eat these balloons of lead shot and go train. once you shit that out, you will go uphill like a rocket!"
― Hunt3r, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 22:02 (sixteen years ago) link
...apply it against your tested CP30.

This is so exciting; all these gnarly cycling mathematical acronysms is incredible. I'm like those people in that thing about the cave seeing the sun for the first time.
― nickalicious, Tuesday, 30 October 2007 22:11 (sixteen years ago) link
"they say your methods have become unsound, coach." "get your ass out of that diaper and start weighing or you'll never make cat 2."

Went for a ride just to listen to new(-ish) Cornelius album, rode/listened through it twice.
I'm not really logging all the grocery and/or beer runs because that would get tedious.
― nickalicious, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:35 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh absolutely. I only mentioned mine to be ridiculous -- and cos a lot of weeks local transpo's the only riding I do.

commuting is all ive done since the second week of Sept. thats a fucking tragedy.

Just to and from work today (14.25 miles, 1 hour riding time). I felt pretty good, I gotta say. Only got overtaken twice by other cyclists.

Good luck man! How big's the area that you'll be covering?

No bike today as I am going away for the weekend and had to bring bags into work. Waiting for the bus on Theobalds road you get to see some pretty awful cycling, 2 near death experiences and some very bizarre stuff:
1) Mr scruffy media type why are you down on a small ring and standing up to pull away. 2) Pretty lady, look behind you before you overtake not halfway through the manoeuvre then you might see the lorry 3) When riding in a pack of cyclists going in a straight line is probably a good idea. 4) Mr Hipster, why were you riding down the wrong side of the road into the path of 30 cyclists 2 buses and a lorry?
― Ed, Friday, 2 November 2007 11:00 (sixteen years ago) link
gbx, will you start a thread for your courier experiences? I badly need my faith in couriers restored cos in central London they are THE most dangerous people on the roads and I get a bit angry sometimes.
― Mark C, Friday, 2 November 2007 11:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Tomorrow I am intending to cycle to Weybridge - 16 miles I think? - so I'll report back if so.
