This. Also pleasantly surprised/impressed that Vingegaard got back on. I had a "this is it, the race for the yellow jersey is over already" when Pogacar got a bike length ahead. A though, a ittle part of me is wondering if Pogacar has peaked this season and he's not as invincible as the media are m...

working on form and finding at 18spm feels too slow and my body naturally returns to 20spm, when I'm not actively trying to stay at 18spm. worked on HR control between 130-140bpm ... takes me a while to warm up ... will extend these sessions to build some aerobic fitness. https://ibb.co/DDHC7qdz --...

Also, I wanted an excuse to catch what I could of today's stage of the Tour de France.

I'm quite surprised how quickly Van der Poel crumbled at the finish, or maybe Poggy just outclassed him.

I think you were the one telling me we need to talk about cooldown and how it should look like :? :lol: Hahaha, yep, guilty as charged!! I did say that, but it just felt like a lost opportunity this morning, probably very similar to your feeling and just shows it can be easy to form an opinion that...

Yesterday was hopefully when things bottomed out. I had to do a very steady session, otherwise I'd have done nothing at all. Today felt totally different, so I went for my favourite intervals sessions 1k repeats on undefined rests. It looks like I bailed out too early as the 4k was supposed to be a ...

You got a sorta apology - without being replied to directly. My take on that whole outburst, is that there's more a W-Framework out there in the wild; and you only get the plan through the direct coaching. (which is absolutely fine and I've no arguments with that) I tried to read through some of th...

I'll be there too. I just need to start 2k training ASAP.

It will be great to meet you both and also hopefully loads of other ergers that regularly compete. There seems to be a resurgence in erging competitions now that this is back, which I assume is due to Crossfit / Hyrox

FWIW I always have found you humble and definitely not "full of yourself"

Thanks Keith. I've lost interest in trying to convince him of anything or trying to defend myself. I've got far better things to deal with atm.

I haven't posted for a while again. Unfortunately I am still having some med issues and it seems Erging aggravates it. This is worrisome and I hope it's temporary but the correlation seems strong. I am still doing some weights and doing some treadmill and outdoor hikes for some cardio but really wa...

So to conclude my ramblings, I probably need to look at my programming, too. Sometimes, less is more... I have had quite a lot of sessions that feel like someone has pulled the plug and instantly I feel unable to carry on. No gradual decline, just an extreme drop. Was that a Tony Larkman podcast wi...

That really triggered you
Didn't get it either...
Good session!

Hahahaha. Too much work stress and reading it after a night out and too many drinks wasn't a good idea
