Pete's Plan but for the BikeErg?
I'm coming off yet another spinal injury and considering the amount of back surgeries I've had to have now I'm thinking of just selling the rower and getting a BikeErg instead since it seems like it would be better for my back. Since I've been down for a little more than 6 months (plus also going through Covid during this time) I wanted to know if there was something similar to Pete's Plan for the BErg. If not, would it just be fine to do Pete's Plan but modify the distances?
Also, what about steady state on the BErg? Is there a meta like with the rower with the 22s/m?

2 hard workouts and the rest steady state would work fine for cycling.

Just double the distances in the Pete plan for the bike. I just got the bike a couple of weeks ago. It's great.
59m, 5'6" 160lbs, rowing and skiing (pseudo) on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Go with what seems comfortable. Folks vary a lot with cycling cadence.BinaryZombie wrote: ↑July 23rd, 2024, 8:47 pmFor steady state on the rower I was aiming for 22s/m. Is there a cadence I should shoot for with the BikeErg?

Re: Pete's Plan but for the BikeErg?
Remamber you'll need to adjust the drag(as in like a bike gear) to suit your preferred cadence/power and not leave it at one setting like the rower,BinaryZombie wrote: ↑July 24th, 2024, 10:22 amAlright, good to know!

Re: Pete's Plan but for the BikeErg?
Yeah. Only had it for about two days now and I'm trying to find the sweet spot for myself. Also considering getting those toe clips from C2.dabatey wrote: ↑July 25th, 2024, 8:10 amRemamber you'll need to adjust the drag(as in like a bike gear) to suit your preferred cadence/power and not leave it at one setting like the rower,
