Training - What Training?!

How do you actually manage it? Is there some setting on your watch that tells you average pace in the current km?

I always end up going too fast too soon. Am determined to give it a go now though!

Going to try to get back to running (slow and short) 6 days a week. Slacked off recently, time to carve out half an hour a day (night).

You’ve been running/tri all these years and haven’t worked out how to use your watch?! :joy:

Yeah just set the fields to avg pace for that km/split (e.g. on ultras I set the split to be every 5km instead).

If you’re really clever, it can even tell you how far you’ve run! :joy:

There is, however this is an effort based session.

Start really easy (mega easy) and progress, finish thinking I could do another KM 5 seconds ish faster.
Getting in tune with pace and how it feels is a worth while skill.
Sometimes its 10s per km slower or like today turns out to be a bit quicker.

I actually put some effort in on the Tempus Fugit iTT tonight, been a while since I’ve done anything like and already regretting it :nauseated_face: legs were a bit shaky :joy:

About 280W for nearly 30 minutes, gotta start somewhere!

It is a great feel good session.

It also helps that the first quarter is like a warm-up, you start to feel like you are drifting along as the pace picks up.

I’m sure its a way of getting some kms in at decent pace with a reduced risk of injury, and ending the session feeling confident and good without going really hard, fast but not feeling like its an very hard effort.

You machine, I could only rustle up 240W and it was an effort too. Won’t be troubling you up Bologna in the near future

You weigh a lot less and are aero IRL, less of a problem on Zwift though!

I did that for a 25M TT last year, I thought I was going to fall off the bike tonight :joy:

Not sure it’s a lot, especially as I seem to be wearing a “winter coat” right now :pig_face:

Noticed halfway round that my bike had somehow reset from Tron to the basic level 1 thing, no fair, was putting out 3.5 Wkg and getting passed by people doing 2.8

I’ve maxed out the Spesh Tarmac with addons now and starting on the Cadex TT, similar thing that level one is slower than the pimped version!

Believe it or not I follow someone on Strava I used to go to school with that makes APM look like he’s having a sleep in :flushed_face: he can’t actually run in daylight very often!

One of my favourite memes :joy:
