Absolute Bikeerg Beginner

Post by Scott_8547 » June 29th, 2023, 4:08 pm

Good Evening All,

Bikeerg arrived today and I am an absolute beginner on it. I road for 60 min steady today, changing positions and cadence etc but my question is, does anyone know of any training plans/coaching available? Other than the WOD and some basic stuff, I cant really find much online.

Thanks!

You could pair the BikeErg with Zwift or Trainerroad to find workouts and training plans.

If you're after some free workouts then download either Ergzone or Trainerday from the app store.

Look online for just 'indoor cycling' workouts as opposed to bike-erg workouts and you should be able to find some.

Alternatively sign up for a free zwift/rouvy/rgt etc trial , nick all their workouts (as in write them down).

Most cycling workouts are based on FTP (Functional Threshold Power) for which the test takes a couple goes to get the pacing right so probably try and get that worked out over the next couple weeks. Again a free trial of zwift/rouvy etc will give you that.
