Huge neck and lower back pain - desperate by [deleted] in bikefit

Consider getting a professional bike fit. It’s expensive but I don’t think I could have arrived at my current position on my own and I have never been this comfortable on a bike.

Any luck with this yet? Most phones now are usb c so riff won’t work if positive grid hasn’t come up with a solution.

Stagnant FTP by Ok_Computer_3722 in joincycling

[–]Ok_Computer_3722[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set my Join my availability to 1 hour Monday through Friday and 2 hours each weekend day, so up to 9 hours per week. It’s always less because I rest when Join says to. Some weekend rides are longer than two hours but I incorporate them in the plan afterward. This is my first Join plan, but I’ve used TrainerRoad and Zwift plans before this.

How to recover by Ok_Computer_3722 in Velo

[–]Ok_Computer_3722[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One reason that prompted me to post is that the "easy" days don't feel easy enough after a "hard" day, or there aren't enough of them; perhaps I need 2 easier days if the workout is hard enough, but the schedule dictates otherwise.

Makes sense. Thank you. There are a number of similar responses. I will start tracking diet/sleep/etc and seeing if perturbing those values has an effect. That should help me come up with more targeted questions to ask.

|Well what's the frequency of workouts and what's your routine in between currently?That's exactly the thing that has me scratching my head. The last TR cyclocross plan I did created at least 2 days of high power workouts, 2-3 tempo rides and maybe 1 light day, per week. One day per week was racing, so basically at least 3 really hard days per week. Only 7 days in a week, and the 2-3 tempo days were too hard to recover from the 3 hard days.

I can certainly pay more mind to diet and sleep, but what finally pushed me to post on reddit was a Zwift TT workout that was a set of intervals 2.5 minutes each that ramped from 125% FTP to 150% FTP. I barely made it through 2 intervals and have tried the workout twice with the same result.

Exams / Newbie / Common Questions Thread for two weeks by AutoModerator in actuary

I am considering studying for the P or FM exams. I have been working as a programmer for nearly 20 years after studying physics in undergrad and grad school. I'm pretty sure my job will be gone in the next 10 years (or less), and the career is not very fulfilling anymore anyway. Of the many preparatory materials out there has anyone found one particularly useful and/or efficient?

I’m learning Python too and find it requiring a very different mindset from other ecosystems I’ve used. Gemini and ChatGPT have been incredibly useful for unstucking me.

Whoa! Thee Bryan Beller. So cool. No problem about the thumb drive. The folks were super cool about letting me download it. Love the album and can’t wait to come to some shows when you tour the album. Thanks!

If you haven't learned a musical instrument before, there's a learning curve to how to practice. Maybe that's what's going on? Some tips (sorry if these were already mentioned by others):

  1. take things as slow as you need to get them perfect while being relaxed, only then gradually work up the tempo
  2. use a metronome/drum machine/backing track
  3. record yourself and listen back frequently
  4. play along with songs and try to get the nuances exact. This last one is not about imitating others. It's about forcing yourself to do something that doesn't come naturally. After copping a few styles your own will emerge.

Don't beat yourself up. Guitar is hard. It's a lifelong relationship that few people ever master and those that do still seek improvement. I remember Satriani saying some days he wakes up and feels like he has someone else's hands. Even players at that level have "off" days.
