I'm going to re-post the pictures so that you can enlarge them. What you will find is that the "sprint at the end peaks out at 457 watts- not much of a sprint - just emptying the tank- HR topped out at 188.IMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948155577806026379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31151261.post-52519034975774631752010-02-05T15:44:50.802-05:002010-02-05T15:44:50.802-05:00On that note, why not get an LT test and find out ...On that note, why not get an LT test and find out the HR and power points where lactate starts to accumulate in your blood. It's easy and relatively cheap, and a much better way of setting your zones than doing an uneven test.solobreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746976531739827476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31151261.post-12565211693528505102010-02-05T15:37:00.905-05:002010-02-05T15:37:00.905-05:00I am not a skilled time trialist, so I need to pla...I am not a skilled time trialist, so I need to play tricks on myself to endure anything over 5 minutes, hence the variation in gear/cadence.. Yeah I held back because my tendency is to go at a 10 minute pace and then fall apart 1/2 way through.. I really wanted to finish this one successfully. I used a HRM and could see that whenever I went over 174-5 bpm, I was getting really cooked. and I would pull back just a touch..<br />My numbers are not impressive, especially relative to my weight, but it is February 5th after..<br />The whole point of this exercise is to [periodically] re-set the benchmark in Training Peaks software (and during workouts)so that a proper ATL and CTL is calculated- it's all driven by FT.. I know you have a low opinion of this particular data, but it gives training some structure and makes it more meaningful [to me]. Additionally, I just like knowing where I stand. I can't tell "by feel" how fit or fatigued or rested I am. Between working 50 hours a week, running a home based business, managing and sponsoring a masters team, and training/racing as musch as I possibly can, I really need to "use the tools" and avoid guessing.IMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948155577806026379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31151261.post-13675146865365949872010-02-05T14:56:30.987-05:002010-02-05T14:56:30.987-05:00It is normal for a crank measurement to be higher ...It is normal for a crank measurement to be higher than a hub measurement, as losses from the chain and your crusty jockey wheels make up the difference.

If you can sprint like that at the end, you held back too much.solobreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746976531739827476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31151261.post-85267922299142244272010-02-05T14:08:00.375-05:002010-02-05T14:08:00.375-05:00This is using the PT, freshly zeroed.
