This is a silly and “for fun” only post with considerations on topic which will not be interesting nearly for anyone. You can safely skip this one and head out to other section of the blog – preferably the ones that give some meaningful training results. But for all the ones that have not letContinue reading “Room temperature with indoor cycling training”

Last cycling training in 2019
After last year’s sessions in December (although not completed as planned) have given me some confidence what to expect when finished, I was actually positively surprised what came up out of them. Out of six weeks of training I’ve managed to complete five. Without loosing a day. Consistency pays up apparently not only on paper.Continue reading “Last cycling training in 2019”
Basic setup for indoor cycling traninig
This will not be a complete guide how to start tranining cycling at home, but rather a set of observations and conclusions, reflecting my view on AMATEUR cycling training equipment. You can spend thousands and thousands of dollars/euros on equipment that you will not ever use, or will not use in more than 10% ofContinue reading “Basic setup for indoor cycling traninig”
This week’s training – Week 5
The introductry plan was actually to train for 6 weeks and then perform an 8- or 20-minute FTP test. But as it is with plans – they have to be adjusted sometimes when the situation dictates so. And this was the case. Week 5 ist the last one and no FTP test will be performedContinue reading “This week’s training – Week 5”
This week’s training – Week 4
Things have gotten serious this week! For the first time I can say that a session was really challenging. Not to say that the previous weeks went without a sweat, but Session 4 this week has pushed me harder than expected. The week consisted of dour sessions – two sets of lighter one first, thanContinue reading “This week’s training – Week 4”
This week’s training – Week 3
The training plan finally seems to reflect the intention it had from the beginning. The training load seems to be assorted correctly. With each training session, the effort needed is growing. The plan idea of performing four sessions a week of about an hour each also seems to be a good balance between time requirementsContinue reading “This week’s training – Week 3”
Power versus Heart-Rate – Not so simple considerations Part 2
We also have to take into consideration many external parameters, that influence the heart rate readings. If you have slept better or worst last night, if you’re under much stress lately or at the moment, if you have taken a couple of deeper breaths or took a few sips from the water bottle – allContinue reading “Power versus Heart-Rate – Not so simple considerations Part 2”
Power versus Heart-Rate – Not so simple considerations Part 1
After three weeks of training, it can be said that the biggest bumps on transferring the training from %FTP based ones to %FTHR have been overcome. Now it will go smoother, at least in the scheduling domain. The problem with all pieces of training based on the heart-rate measurement will still be present and cannotContinue reading “Power versus Heart-Rate – Not so simple considerations Part 1”
This week’s training – Week 2
Things have gotten a bit more difficult this week – it means a new mistake has come into play. Since the plan I have chosen was based on the FTP, not the FTHR, it had to be adjusted to my needs and heart-rate measurement capability, not the power measurement. To do this with some levelContinue reading “This week’s training – Week 2”
