Right.
Dammit's borrowed bits attached to bike. Trainerroad subscription purchased (it looks ACE, btw). 8 minute test run for first time.
Apparently I'm only outputting 79 watts when my HR is at 171!! I think I haven't set it up properly, I don't understand the target power at all. It seems to be asking me to generate 100w in the beginning warm-up stage, but if I'm in the big ring and a middleish cog, spinning at 80-90rpm, that's supposedly 80w or thereabout. I could spin faster to get closer to the target, but that's going to spoil my tempo. I could gear into a smaller cog, but I'm already in a fairly high gear as it is. Um.
Also, I haven't got a garden, any DIY, or a sex life, so yes, this is how I spend my evenings now. Don't judge me, alright.
