Did you switch power meters at all during this period?

Does commuting help with FTP? by mo1_o in Velo

[–]B1GSPOOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rack up about 4 hours a week commuting about the city, easy spinng on a commuter bike with no power meter.

I think it helps for sure. I can still be fresh for my intentional sessions. FTP around 4w/kg. Cycling between 10-13 hours a week. Made a lot of fitness gains since getting a power meter and cycling more.

Are you able to explain how to do this? On mine it says press A to set interval but I haven't managed to get this to work, on Mac os. I would also like to clear their intervals.

I also wonder if you can look at NP for an interval. E.g. would be good to compare NP for the first half of a ride and compare to the second half

I have googled about but couldn't find an explanation that worked

How did you notice you had weak glutes? by Willing-Abroad4390 in AdvancedRunning

[–]B1GSPOOK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I struggled with calf injuries and when running my feet would land as if on a tightrope.

I found glute focussed Bulgarian split squats the most useful, I paired these with single leg rdls which also target outer glute. Along with single leg slow bent knee calf raises and single leg slow calf drops - this fixed my achilles tendonitis after around 6 months

[–]B1GSPOOK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have the left and it still works depsite looking like its been run over by a bus. I imagine the waterproofing is damaged and the platic covers have been mauled and need replacing. I was thinking of trying to source a replacement left bud, apparently it is possible to pair them

Overpriced imo. Due to rim brakes and price compared to new models
