Probably no interest to many, but every-now and again I dig into my stats just to feed my curiosity, and it would appear that I have settled very close to the "accepted" drive:recovery ratio without ever consciously trying to.
And it doesn't appear to make a difference whether I'm tootling along, or pressing on a bit.
V small sample of 4 rows this season at my min->max ratings so far.
averages across the session duration from the samples I took, rather than peak values.
Code: Select all
Stroke Rate|wmin|sec per stroke|m per stroke
20.9|6.7|2.9|10.6
24.0|6.8|2.5|9.7
29.4|8.4|2.0|9.0
39.6|10.7|1.5|8.0
I know it doesn't mean much in real terms, but I just found it interesting - I guess that's what 2.5M meters does over time, builds up that ability to be (sorta) consistent unconsciously.
