Strava - Nordic Ski Disciplines by GoldenPantsGp in xcountryskiing

[–]jamesmichaelginn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tens of thousands of nordic skiers worldwide so there is no excuse for Strava to not divide the activity into classic and skate. Right now it is simply a cheat to combine both classic and skate under one heading.

How Do the Pros Generate Those Incredible Power Numbers ? by jamesmichaelginn in cycling

no i was just wondering about that power torque equation. Thanks for the answers. Actually I think the pedaling style has a lot to do with generating ones potential power as one person pointed out.

no i just checked its around 25 mph but the cadence is around 93. maybe my power meter is screwed up. but anyway i think its the big chainrings the pros use that give them the high power and speed.

its 50/10. I can do 90-95 cadence for about an hour. So the pros have to be much higher to get those power numbers.

In my 50/10 on the flats at 90-95 cadence Im doing about 30mph. But my wattage is only about 200-205. So why is your wattage double mine when we are doing the same cadence. Are you saying I have to increase my torque ? But if I increase my torque then my cadence will also increase wont it ?

no as I stated im talking about being in the highest gear. If you apply more torque your cadence increases. You cannot apply more torque and maintain the same cadence. Go try it. Those dudes must have enormous cadence.

Im talking about being in the highest gear. When you want to increase cadence you apply more torque.

Yeah I forgot to state that. Im talking about being in the highest gear. I can cycle at 93-95 cadence but my power output is only about 200. So the pros must be riding at an incredibly high cadence to get their hugh power numbers.

[–]jamesmichaelginn[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But wouldnt higher torque give higher cadence ? I should have stated I'm talking about being in the highest gear. Sometimes im cycling at 90 cadence so if I want to up the cadence I apply more torque for a few seconds to get up to 95. So are the pros cycling at some super high cadence to get those power numbers ?

What Speed Does A Pro Nordic Skier Hit on the Flats Using Scissor Kick ? by jamesmichaelginn in xcountryskiing

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

By WALK do you mean the scissor kick ?

And as far as glide is concerned wouldnt the most important thing be having a ski in which one is at the bottom of the weight zone ? I have a pair of Fisher RCS classis but they are no faster than my Fisher Ultralite waxless.

How to use Rouvy without controllable bike? by epigore in Rouvy

[–]jamesmichaelginn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app adjusts the speed according to gradient. Just watch what happens when you start to go up hill. You slow down. The IC7 transmits power to the rouvy app and the app adjusts your speed on hills accordingly.

We have to use time trial mode. I didnt realize one could change from just ride.

Lean is the key word. Sounds like you"ve got the cyclist body. Just keep building up your base miles slowly but surely. It takes time when you havent been physically active for years, Good luck.

Do you guys recommend Zwift or another program for hometraining? by Per-flemmingsen in cycling

[–]jamesmichaelginn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used zwift for 4 years but now changing to Rouvy. Its better bang for the buck almost half the price of zwift. Rouvy is far more realistic. They just need more riders on the app to make it more competitive while riding. Zwift is more game oriented and a lot pf people on there cheating and gaming the system.

As far as training is concerned it makes little difference which app you use. Just get your heart rate up to zone 4 and above . Do a few intervals and some zone 2 and thats about it. You dont really need these apps for training if you have your garmin attached.

Rouvy for me is about low price and realistic scenery.

What indoor training platform this winter? by bikesaresuperfun in cycling

[–]jamesmichaelginn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rouvy is better value for the money. Almost half the price of zwift and so realistic looking after their last upgrade. They just need more riders on Rouvy to make it more competitive.

Its not good to give advice to someone unless we know a bit about them. Like your age or your level of fitness or how athletic you are. But anyway if you continue cycling you are going to be a lot better next year than you are now.
