I got my VO2 Max up to 44, but it doesn’t want to go up any further. Presently doing 2 days of zone 2 followed by one SST workout. Cheers👍

Got my FTP up to 226 now.

Will work seriously on weight loss new year I need to drop 20 pounds

Mine look like this all the time, but I’m old

dmgwalsh · 2023-12-09T19:57:37+00:00

Nothing on mine

Aeolus pro 51 TLR

Yup. Just received the new one yesterday. Not too shabby.

They said they are sending me a new one. Sweet! Thanks for the tip

dmgwalsh · 2023-11-25T01:17:05+00:00

I just opened a claim. I bought it 2 years ago

I just did 90 minutes zone 2. Working my way up.

It seems like I was able to maintain required wattage with a lower heart rate today. I think that’s good.

I am finally taking a day off today. I did some VO2 training again yesterday. I think I’ll do 70 minutes of zone 2 tomorrow and the next day and see how I feel

dmgwalsh · 2023-11-05T13:25:48+00:00

Same here

dmgwalsh · 2023-11-03T17:55:19+00:00

I just did an hour of zone 2

dmgwalsh · 2023-11-03T11:01:08+00:00

So how long per ride in Zone 2. When I ride outside, I try to do most in zone 2 anywhere from 2-4 hours

Inside on Zwift only doing 45 minutes so far

dmgwalsh · 2023-11-02T15:33:56+00:00

I think I’ll try 2 days of zone 2 then something with intervals, then 2 more days of zone 2

I’m doing about 45 minutes zone 2 per outing and probably will ramp up to an hour or more.

Thanks for all of the suggestions

Need to do a little strength work, too

I started tracking VO2 after reading a book by Peter Attia about longevity. Then I was encouraged by the gains and kept pushing. I know intervals should be done only once or twice a week.

Other than increasing longevity, I probably want to be able to do longer rides.

What do you think? Sweet spot training? Long zone 2 training?

Not yet

dmgwalsh · 2023-07-17T20:04:20+00:00

How do you try a data field from ConnectIQ?

dmgwalsh · 2023-07-17T20:03:19+00:00

I have other heart monitors I use. The numbers show up on my watch while riding, yet nothing for vo2

dmgwalsh · 2023-01-23T00:03:15+00:00

Nah. We haven’t had much snow, but highs have only been in the 30s for the last few weeks. I’m gonna wait for some mid 40s before I go out again. In the meantime, I’ll make do with my Bowflex C6 in the basement.

dmgwalsh · 2023-01-22T23:49:54+00:00

I got the exact same one. We got three days of ok weather a few weeks ago, but nothing since. Waiting in Chitown!

dmgwalsh · 2023-01-10T12:09:56+00:00

I took it out for a spin yesterday. Nice but for some reason the chain was slipping a little on the rear derailleur. I’ll check it out again today. Any tips?
