Elite  7783      PEI, Canada |  Subject: RE: Time after HIM for an FTP testOriginally posted by Scott71 Originally posted by axteraa Originally posted by 3mar I don't coast on the trainer. So I don't believe it zeroed. Also, I rarely, if ever, coast during my rides. Maybe I should at the beginning of my rides? Flat-landers... I would do a manual calibrate on the 920 at the beginning of the ride (not sure how you do that, Marc or someone else with one would know) and then at some point early in the ride just coast for 5 seconds. Just an FYI for the calibration, I have a P2M and use a Garmin 500. If you have a HR monitor paired to the Garmin, it will not calibrate the P2M unless you are wearing the HRM. No idea why, but it will sit in limbo indefinitely until it detects the HRM. Not sure if this is an issue for the 920xt. Yeah, it's the stupidest bug to never get fixed. I don't use a HRM but the same issue happens if I don't have my speed sensor attached. Although it will eventually work after a couple of minutes. |

Maybe something we could combine. There are 8 or 9 people interested in the feeler post.Originally posted by Donto Also, If you go to my training log, I also have a link to each individual week. http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/index-weekly.... I am contemplating doing another one if we can get enough people interested. PM me if so. Originally posted by marcag 3mar, I have just about all the info Shane & Marc posted in that thread in a word (and pdf) file if that would help. Parsing through all the posts to find the info can be difficult.Originally posted by 3mar So is 216 my FTP or is it 95% of that? Based on this, where should my intervals be (I realize this is a loaded question). I'm talking very general, I.e. If I'm doing 20 min intervals vs 2 min, are there rules of thumb? looking back, I did a workout outside with 7 x 4 min intervals and they averaged between 210 to 250 watts. Does that sound right? 205 (95%) would be your FTP. The 95% method, although popular is debatable but that's another debate 7x4 you should be able to do at 110% = 225w, so that sounds right. Of course, recovery time makes a difference Look at that link I posted above. Every few pages you will find workouts with duration, % of FTP, recovery.... Here's an example http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... Edited by Donto 2015-10-28 3:50 PM |

I read through it as much as I could but with my new job I haven't had time to dig everything out. |
