This week’s training – Week 3

Things happen in life. That’s a normal thing – unplanned events that destroy, force you to modify your plan. This was the case in week 4. I had to stop the training plan in the middle of the week to chase some personal obligations. This meant 1,5 week without a session on the bicycle. ButContinue reading “This week’s training – Week 3”

How to get to your dream bike in Zwift?

Everyone has a goal in their training. Be stronger, faster or simply better at climbing. But when you start riding with ZWIFT, a platform strongly designed around gamification of cycling experience, you start getting other goals. Like getting a specific nice bike, or a jersey, or a sock… yes… you’ve read correctly! A sock! TheContinue reading “How to get to your dream bike in Zwift?”

Week three – we are already warmed up and some more difficult sessions do appear in the schedule. Like the last session this week, which is the longes from all in the training plan.

Zwift – Andre Greipel Fight ALS Ride

Last Saturday I joined the André Greipel ride on ZWIFT. It was my first group ride in ZWIFT.

This week’s training – Week 1 Revisited

After last week’s “progress” with the ZWIFT training program I’ve decided that a couple of modifications will be needed. To adjust and fine tune all software and hardware settings I choose a different, lighter training program. Also to get to know how the trainings will go and if everything hardware-wise will work correctly. I chooseContinue reading “This week’s training – Week 1 Revisited”

How to get as good as Chris Froome in cycling?

I know I have already brought to your attention the Pareto principle multiple times. I also know that listening for the 10th time over and over again on the same topic can be boring. But this is important. It is important to realise how the beginner cyclist can quickly become an ambitious, better than averageContinue reading “How to get as good as Chris Froome in cycling?”

How to plan you cycling training year?

The beginnings are always hard – this is not secret. Especially if you haven’t done too many activities for a longer time and suddenly decide that, for example, 2020 will “be your year” and “it’s time to change my life”. This kind of mentality can get you discouraged or/and injured pretty quickly. Especially if youContinue reading “How to plan you cycling training year?”
