Which is good, can you imagine sprinting up a 15% when you're training? Would be easier to hit the power mind, and more "life like" but I like the ERG mode for pure intervals and training purposes.

Shifting weight (and keeping it off) is more about what you do or don't put in your mouth rather than what you do or don't do with your legs
It is, but if you're burning 1000kcal riding a day, you have more flexibility in your diet #cake
I did a workout I designed last night, which was the first one I have made and instantly want to make changes to it.
With my current FTP set at 271w
Did:
- 5 min warm up to 220w
- 5 min @ 220w
- 8 min @ 255w
- 1 min @ 340w
- 8 min @ 255w
- 1 min @ 340w
- 8 min @ 255w
- 1 min @ 340w
- 5 min @ 255w
- 5 min warm down
What I should have done was added a bit of a drop after the 1 min sections, say a 180w/200w 1 min and then back to 255w. Legs were hurting towards the end!
Going to do one that OCZ have done tonight, looks pretty brutal, for me it's:
- 5 min @ 140w
- 1 min build up to 200w
- 5 min @ 200w
- 1 min built up to 255w
- 2 min @ 255w
- 2 min free ride
- 2 x 20 MIN @ 271w (FTP)
- 5 min rest at 140w between each
Let's see how I fair with that one later.

Yea, I should say % FTP, and it was warm up to that, so it started at 80w and built up to 220. You are right as well, there was a massive lack of recovery, which wasn't nice
Did the ZZRC Sub 3.0 ride last night. Front group went off like the clappers, considering it's a group ride not a race, sheeeesh. I tried to hold up, but I was feeling tired before I even got on the bike so was just blowing nothing. Kept up for about 20mins and then they got the jump over the cobbles and were off when I was out the main group.
Meant I had 40mins pretty much on my own, other than one guy, as we were about 2 mins ahead of the group behind.
Good workout mind!

Had a ride out tonight on Zwift after too much steak at lunch. Was going to do the KISS C but by the time I changed it, I was already warming up and it routed me to the SUB2 UK ride, which I was going to do before. I clearly didn't do sub 2, stuck with a few guys at the front who broke off fast. Was a nice steady ride out. Wife did a good 52km on there while I was doing that. Fair play to her, she's storming.
I'm going to try and get up for the OCZ decaf at 7am tomorrow. 2 laps at 2.2w/kg and then flat out last lap. That'll wake me up.
Anyone doing the KISS GCN takeover Tuesday race? I think I'm going to aim for that one, too. It's cold as anything out here this week.

Ha I slept through my alarm... oops
Was going to get on tonight but GCN crashed zwift and I couldn't login. Great work guys.
I get dead knob after about 40 mins
On the road I'm fine, it's just the trainer. I don't get out the saddle really at all. I like food, so am continuing to aim for 200km a week. Only hit 100 so far, so going to get a morning ride in tomorrow and then Pretzel full route at the weekend.
New course on Zwift. Also check out zwift.community
I need to get on tonight. Crap weekend of working too much.

My Flux still isn't here and no sign of when it will arrive. Which is nice. Only ordered it in November lol
Did the volcano yesterday, nice little circuit to do!

Mate ZZRC sub 3.0 is BS! Did the same for me and I was lost. I tried to hold on out the gates and hammered it. Did a whole lap on the front group and was spent. Couldn't hold that sort of pace, it was mental.
I need to get back on, hoping my back is better at the moment, pulled muscle had me out of work for 2 weeks and couldn't relaly walk or even sit much. Still have this dodgy knee, too. Just not had the chance to see anyone about it as I've been out with the back. Bit crap really. That and trying to move house and everything, my riding has been sub poor. Rode to work Monday and it hurt, think it's leaning over, full aero. Didn't hurt as much tonight when I rode to pick up the hire car.
Trainer should help though, as I can sit up straight more. I'll get some in next week... ease in to it. Oh, still not got my Flux delivered... it's been 5 months!
they offered me my money back but it's still a really good price, if they ever send it. Luckily I have 2 Vortex's here, so not like I'm desperate.
Missed you all x

Going to jump on tonight and see how I go. I've got a shed ton of work to do tonight but need to stretch my legs for 40 mins anyway. Need to try and get back to my levels before, I'll be well off the pace I'm sure.
Didn't get in from the supermarket until 8 and then had to cook dinner, now working. Ugh. Missions.
ah man, I miss the fun
Sounds like normal Cat B then. Smash it out at crazy pace from the go and hang on. No pacing at all lol

I just got an email saying t he Flux had been shipped... I was about to cancel the order, too. Pleased to see it up on their site now for 792 euros and I paid 609 ha see when it arrives.
THE FLUX HAS ARRIVED. It's hiding in my car... might try and get rid of the Vortex before I get it out/ swap it over haha
We're moving, which is costly, and so I've told her to reign in her "I want to buy all new furniture" actions, and so she'll give me a whole heap of **** for this (even though I bought it in Nov!)
