3:00 PM on Monday, June 24, 2024 # 396 OA Zwift - # 9 Oh Hill No in Watopia Your PR 24:06 27 /131 < mens age div 65-69 I have done it now 11 times . I would ask you what is your age ? HR seems very very high , I'M around 75 to 80 % HR AVG Im not going all out for my 24 mins .Im 67 HR for my ride was 124 which was 81% of my max .
@WattsHartvig2 күн бұрын
The ride was done approx 1 1/2 hour after having dinner in the evening. It was pretty hot and unplanned. And I was going all out at the last bit of the climb. My age is 47. Generally my HR is in the higher end during races or events like this. I'm amazed that you can keep your HR at 81% in a climb like this. Just show that I need to get in better shape maybe. Well done. 💪👍😎

@@WattsHartvig Thanks for responding back. I have used a HRM since 1987 and over the years my body sticks around 80% . Two Ironman champions few weeks back both had open heart surgeries and are few years older than me . And both trained long and hard , which that is 4 former Ironman triathlon champions who have had open heart surgery . The HR formula I have used came from Dr Phil Maffetone . Take 180 minus 47 = 133 = 80% take another 10 =123 = 70% . Plus Girlfriend is a 30+ yrs as a cardio othro rehab RN . See's all of the local athletes get struck down . " Fine line between fitness and health " Dr Phillip Maffetone . If you want to be doing this 20yrs from now like me , slow down the HR to 133 to 123 . 37 yrs training smart , not hard , train to last , not to go fast.

Every one suffers bon this climb, Super effort, I'm always in awe how you can ride seated, I have to stand to be at my best. 💪💪👍👍
@WattsHartvig2 күн бұрын
Thanks a lot. I don't know if it's a physical thing being seated versus standing or if it tracks back to me riding more mountainbike than road bike. I feel that I can push more watts seated, where my cadance is really low when standing, and grinding those big gears tires le out. But I guess its a thing you can train and get better at. 💪👍😎🚴

I think this definitely requires you to get into a rhythm and just keep going at a manageable wattage. We don’t know if you had already warmed up also.

Valiant effort. Just keep trying. You stayed in the front pack for the majority of the race. Next time don't push so hard to be in the front of the race, so you have energy left in the end when it turns spicy
@WattsHartvig7 күн бұрын
You are right. I had an opposite race this Saturday where I felt like I had to push on the hills to see if I could shake some riders from the frontgroup. So spot on, its a fine line between when to preserve your strength and when to try push. 💪👍😎

You did well to hold on until the end there and your average power did not drop too badly. But my bit of advice would be this: when doing any maximal effort,for example a time trial ,you should set a deliberately easier pace at the start,for at least the first quarter. I’m sure you realize now you went off too hard at the start. I would be pretty confident if you do it again and you start easier, say at 215w W for the first few minutes, your FTP will end up higher
