  • Ha! Thankfully I am not too wedded to my ftp number and am just enjoying the process of getting fitter while binging on Netflix, Tidal and UFC. Hopefully the muscles that are protesting after a couple of goes on the new turbo will be rapidly recruited and develop, which will hopefully increase my power output to then help improve my fitness, burn more calories and aid further weight loss. Recent life stuff has slightly interrupted my training schedule and led me to cut things a little short so if the calories used increase it’s all to the long term benefit.

  • while binging on Netflix, Tidal and UFC

    still trying to figure out how anyone watches stuff whilst doing TrainerRoad. Maybe you can switch off a bit more with Zwift but my ability to follow instructions on TR and watch something at the same time is almost zero.

  • Do you actually need to follow the instructions on TR? You mean things like the single leg drills?
    I find it difficult to concentrate on Netflix or videos when doing high % FTP (sweetspot and above) intervals in Zwift.

    Not much instructions to follow other than the power target, cadence, if you're using ERG mode.

  • Depends on the intensity obvs

    If someone makes a noise when I'm bouncing off the rev limited they will immediately be killed with eyeball lasers if it breaks my concentration and fucks my interval. This is even more apparent doing supra VO2 shit whereas in SS I'd normally be ok.

  • On the contrary, I could never make it through an endurance workout on TR without something to watch, just too dull. For any effort above FTP we all know we just painfully stare at the timer hoping for it to speed up (regardless of something to watch/listen to in the background)
