    Well there is one absolute ; a "Training Schedule" will work for 100% of the people :eek: IF :eek:they follow it ; but it's not about the schedule it's about workouts that push people into the place they aren't comfortable going:confused:. The best athletes are terrible at following a plan...

    Yep V2; has the gradient logo; and Avid breaks. The v1 had different brakes; i think tetronik or something like that without looking in my junk parts bin.

    Repeated 5 minutes of slow speed practice at the start and end of every ride will solve most issues in a really short time.

    See that makes you a candidate for the old school long and slow stuff pair with something like FulGaz. Once you got into the 3-4 rides a week habit you'd be addicted. Fear of being last gets me on the trainer; then after 2 weeks endorphin addiction takes care of the rest. I'll never be first I...

    They have that for zwift and the software can now detect it and flag you with a warning alert and a badge of shame in the software.

    Test altering the percentage until you sit about MAF - 3 beats. After testing and finding a good spot; up your FTP that percentage. Just means you haven't let learned to do an FTP test; they take a while to master.

    I think your 500 repeats of the same hill curve tonight count as structured indoor training. Warped, but, structured. :confused:

    Yesterday was starting to feel sick so I took an early break (wish I could train early more often; more productive training). Bumped FTP up 3 watts because I've been feeling stronger that last 2-3 rides as I get back into the swing. That was just about right. Tackled "Ragged" today which is 80...

    I tried to install some last year and hit an obstacle. I'll see if that's been resolved. It may required the Supreme Empresses powers to do that; ((aka @Lucia ))
