Turbo Trainer Advice

intervals.icu is so good, and keeps getting better.

For eFTP you can change the duration of effort it uses to calculate it. If you know your FTP from a test you can tweak until it matches then it should track pretty accurately, or it does for me.

Oh I see that now - that's better (well I prefer the old number more).

Is there a tutorial on how to use this?

Loads of whizzy graphs but I have no idea what it means. All I really want to do is gradually improve fitness or at least stave off the effects of age/diet etc. I have no interest in burying myself in a pain cave but realise some effort is required.

My fitness line is above the fatigue line which according to the text means I am getting less fit. But not sure what is needed to turn this decline around.

Ok boomer ;)

For palatable info you’d have to pay TP

But will that just give me more incomprehensible graphs?

Pretty much. The only solution is stop caring about any numbers and just exercise for wellbeing.

Unless you are racing or KOM chasing.

Basically, in the fitness tab, try and keep the form in the green/optimal state mostly.

Requires that you have an decent estimate of your ftp, so that it estimates the correct training load for each workout

It's telling you exactly what you described. To get 'fitter' you have to be working harder than you have in the past, so ride longer or at higher intensity. If the blue fitness line is rising you are doing this, if it's flat or declining you are not.
Even without power and using HR it works.

This is the way.

The problem is there is nothing in the tanks to help me work harder.

I am exercising for well-being but crucially am getting less fit which is disappointing.

I think you might need a rest.

Or a change.

Non-functional overreaching is a thing.

Have you tried golf?

Off to the golf club I go

less fit

Only if you equate fitness = ftp.
I have seen your numbers; you are fine, if i can do half as good numbers at your age i’d br happy.

We cant all be @andyp

another Tacx neo 2T question; does anyone use it with a wahoo and a planned workout? I cant seem to figure out how to let wahoo control the resistance . It is connected to wahoo and it gives me few modes where I can manually adjust resistance (level, watts, percentage) but how can I let it control according to the workout in ERG mode?

Can't you just load the workout into Zwift or Trainerroad?

I can and I have been using my phone for this but would like to avoid this as I also pretend to 'wfh' using the phone.

Help me out here people. I used to be ok at going uphills outside. I want to get back to being ok uphills outside.
In particular, I don't want to run out of pop when I come home from TiK and am faced with the beast of corkscrew hill.

What can I focus on here. Is it V02 max, is it more strength work, or should I just take myself outside and shoot myself for being old?

have a bite of clif bar while descending layhams, by police dog training place

Spend all your money on lite bke

The quickest fix, pacing.

Then I'd go with building out long sweet spot/threshold intervals, e.g. 2x20 but starting with something like 4x10 minute.

Then the best option, make yourself bike lighter.

Best advice. Thanks dude.
