Hi Adam, Thanks for the advice, especially as this is an old post!! 900 on 45! Wow - that is super impressive.... you're a machine!
I am still struggling I have to say and never achieve high outputs. I think during the ride - no mater what my resistance, I have never got into the 200 range. My max resistance - in the seat is 45-50 and out of the seat 50-55. So really not improving and I am no where near by PB that I managed to get once.... I am constantly 20-30 points behind PB, so I must be doing something wrong as within 10mins of a ride, I am so far behind PB (the figure it says you need to reach it again) that trying to catch that up becomes my challenge.... it's not working for me!
I looked at my exported stats and out of 196 cycle classes (excluding strength and running etc) - I have only had 24 that have an output of between 250 and 351 (only 3 in the 300 range) and they were 6 months ago.
Truly is depressing I have to say as I am very strong and very motivated and every day I get on the bike or run.... no matter what and if tired - I will still do 15-30 mins of something. It's crushing.
Your idea to try 100 in 5 mins is a good idea - I will try that. Thank you again for the advice and the confidence
