Good luck and let me know if you have more questions. Then once you remove the spacers and take a week or two to get used to the new setup, do the same workout and see what happens.Īgain, I am not a certified fitter, however, as long as you get the improvement you want (corner deeper) and not get injures and/or lose power, removing the spacers, is a positive development.
Do it in a couple of steps like +10W and -10W. You probably are pretty familiar with what power corresponds to what heartrate while on the tacx, so after you remove your spacers from the pedals you can see if you can output the same (or higher) wattage.Īnother way is while still having the spacers do a workout or two where you hold a certain wattage for say 5-10min. So about your question I am not a fitter myself, however, with such changes you should give your body a week, ideally two or more until you get the muscle memory and/or see if you don’t get any discomfort/injuries. I am happy to hear you find the blog inspirational. A powermeter is a very valuable tool! Reply By Post Author it is a simple repair as long as the electronics are functional. You can get older model powertaps for very cheap, even if they have bad bearings etc. I hope that helps, if you have more questions do not hesitate to post them here and good luck with training! Methods vary but they all try to estimate the same.

Maybe you can give me a little more information on what is a CTS test and what is a PC value? In general all those fitness tests estimate your “redline/maximum” so you can make your training zones based on that.
I am not familiar with the 12 week Lance comeback program but 12 weeks is usually a good timeframe to accomplish even ambitious goals.Ĥ. Of course it wasn’t perfect so this season I am improving on what I did wrong last year=) You will start to get the hang of it after a while since training principles for endurance sports are pretty universal. When I first started with cycling in 2012 I read the Road Cyclists Guide to Training by Power by Charles Howe (link on the right menu) and used the included training program there with some modifications. Overall at this point I make my own training program/racing schedule (You can follow it in greater detail in all my weekly summaries). The Easy 5 Week Program is something I used to get back in shape for one last race at the end of season and it worked quite nicely ( as i mention it incorporates everything a yearly plan does, just on a smaller scale.) I am not familiar with Strava at all, and again I will point you towards my article on understanding your powermeter data since all estimations try to come up with the same thing – training stress.ģ. A powermeter in this case illustrates the statement “Numbers don’t lie.”Ģ. In the end you have to have some kind of baseline that you can use to compare all your rides upon and be consistent with how you estimate. I use a HR monitor for all my rides together with a powermeter so I have enough data to post an article how the two correlate. ( ) Golden Cheetah has the TRIMP metric which is based on HR. Although you need to have at least some way of estimating how hard you pushed (Heart rate is an OK indicator, perceived effort is quite subjective in my opinion, nonetheless with some discipline and objectivity you can gauge how hard you are pushing, ie which training zone you are in.) I advise you to read my article about making sense of your powermeter data. Since a lot of the times you do the same workouts/rides over and over again you can kind of label them all the same and get a pattern on how your fitness is improving. For example a 1h Z2 ride is about 40 Bikescore. Therefore at the end, it is training score you are estimating. When you multiply it by “How long?” you trained, you get a training stress value (TSS, Bikescore, Daniel’s points etc.). In a nutshell the Avg/xPower is an an exact number of “How hard?” you pushed. As far as extrapolating/estimating power from your rides you need to understand how Golden Cheetah (or another training analysis program) uses the data. It was a busy week for me so sorry for the delayed response! So on to your questions.ġ. Hello Emilio and thank you for your comment.
