Zwift Chat

Well I've busted my you know what on my first event on Zwift.

Stage 1 of the ToW is complete. 73m58s and I am fecked. 702nd out of 799 the last time I checked. Hey not the strongest person in the event this time.

Had a hard week this week, what with week 1 of my Gran Fondo workout plan and the ToW starting. Day off tomorrow at least and then see how Sunday goes. Maybe a short jaunt ITRW, if no rain or a ride on BRVR to keep the legs loose.

Off for a curry and a beer

Well done TB on completing your diarist Zwift race .

That’s a hefty workload, doing a weekly TdZ stage on top of the training plan. Remember you get stronger during the rest days!

Don’t feel you have to keep the B’s end up... I was perfectly happy when you were propping up the C’s!

I think there’s a few there masquerading as C’s. Might have to bump them up

 

[peterob]

I am getting withdrawal symptoms

Hopefully you’ll get the chance to make up for lost stages on the makeup weeks after you get the trainer unpacked. I’ll keep you listed on the league in anticipation

On other matters - you will recall I've been muttering about glute recruitment and how I thought this had improved my power output etc - I sent a question to TrainerRoad last week and it got answered on this weeks Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast - Number 201. If anyone is interested, it starts just after 1hr 23 mins.

Meh there’s no hiding behind categories anyway. I only see one big league table!

Is there something you’re not doing you were doing st your strongest. Maybe go on the ‘see food’ diet!

Just not as strong Tommy, I seem to be better with endurance and lack outright power. Ive got minor niggles which preclude me from long rides-ignoring Tenerife (drug and medical assisted to survive the rides) Also lost a lot of interest in riding flat out. Im contemplating missing both DD and TOC if my issues don't clear up in time. So much else going on in life too-drains enthusiasm

Just had another go at stage 1 but eased at end once I realised wouldn’t beat my earlier time. Slower to jungle then a bit quicker but overall me and those I was drafting not fast enough.

That’s nice, very nice a bike your glutes can be proud of
