R.T is a great coach, his knowledge of all things zwift and cycling is amazing. It was great seeing you climbing out the saddle, it looked so natural. Have you thought about getting a rocker plate? You can get a Wattbike specific one that allows the whole bike to rock side to side just like if you were riding outside. You should definitely have a go at the Alpe now, that would be great to see!

I might just leave it for a ride after my 12 week training plan is over. Smashing tip about rocking when out of the saddle.

I did ven top and Ventoux IRL; I actually found the zwift version more difficult largely because my butt was in agony after almost 2 hours of grinding. I averaged somewhere around 200 w on zwift, and more like 175 IRL. We were blessed with great weather on the mountain, so I had a relatively easy day by Ventoux standards. For the geek types I had a 30 tooth cluster on for both had a Domane sl7 IRL and had the trainer difficulty set at about 75%. I like the breathing tips, I did similar most of the way up IRL and it really helped. Enjoy the ride all!

@thecoffeeblog 2 місяці тому
Yes, It is time to try Alpe de Zwift one more time. Now that you are comfortable standing on the bike, control your HR/breathing, and learn how to engage your glutes for maximum power you can give the Alpe another try. The Alpe allows you to pace easily by calculating the effort between turns and saving your breath. I use the Alpe instead of an FTP test. Ending it in 75 min or less means you are a CAT C, (2.5w/kg), and before 60 min a CAT B (3.2w/kg). By doing it periodically you can keep a record of your improvements by the second. It also helps you to get the Tron bike sooner. It will be very handy for racing.

Would love to see the Alps again. I am 105kg and 64 and unfortunately I have a knew left knee few years ago and a right ankle fusion which fixes my right foot in place so I find it really hard almost impossible to stand up and I end up just grinding and my heart rate climbs and my legs fill with lactic acid. Do you have any tips as to what I can do to stand up. I am on a Zwift one hub and a normal road bike from Orbea. I also find I am getting pretty numb in the unmentionables after about an hour. is that normal on a trainer? Loving your vids and have watched them all since you started your couch to starting to run. What a transformation.

You may want to get your HR strapped checked. When you are trying to push all out sprints, it appears your heart rate drops, which it really shouldn't. This can really mess up your training if you are getting erractic readings. Hope to ride with you one day, as another D rider who is trying to push into C cat and who has not won a D race yet.

Once is bad enough but twice🤣. I think it plays into your strengths though, long endurance efficiency than pushing into the red 👍, I don't think you'd go up the Alp much faster until you lose more weight. Ideas........You could try a zwift training program but they're not very regimented and you've got other things like running to do. 30 races in 30 days? buy the steering function? join a C race and see how long you can hold on? do a half everest (a full one would be amazing but i would guess at least 24 hours to 30 hours) 👀

Posture and/or standing while grinding at 45 rpm will not make you a better climber. Climbing is about aerobic fitness. Not sure about your coach on this vid (disliking zone 2 apparently) but what ever works for you off course. Breathing always good :-)
@RyanCondon 2 місяці тому
Hello MrBlack76687, RT isn't my coach, just a very capable Zwift rider helping a non cyclist learn how to Zwift better. I grind when I'm tired, like all things, when you're exhausted then best form goes out the window. His advice to stand and fall on the pedals has helped me enormously. Check out my recent Muckle Yin Vid for example of that, I've got a new ADZ PR vid coming out tomorrow (probably don't watch that if you don't like Zone 5) and watch my recent 'what I've learnt about Zwift' for my view on advice without context. I'm not a pro (obviously), I'm not even a very good amateur cyclist but considering where I've been vs now I'm happy to be documenting my journey and learnings. Next step is 1000watts with 100rpm and 120bpm for 5 minutes but until then I'll grind rather than give up.
@MrBlack76687 2 місяці тому
@@RyanCondon It's all good man, to quote another Zwift youtuber: 'You do you' 🙂 I'm not a sport scientist (although kind of interested in it), but what I understand from low cadence rpm is that while slow twitch muscles contract most efficiently at 60rpm, that rpm (or lower) is not recommended for anybody because it destroys your legs, especially on longer races with multiple climbs. And because of the huge strain your put on your legs doing low cadence I reckon it will increase recovery times also. Off course recovery matters a whole lot less if you are cycling ie. 2-3 times per week. And doing a couple of Zwift races per week and have fun can be a fine goal also. Since I for sure like zone 5 (participating in the FRR Triquetra currently) ill check out your ADH attempt 🙂 Have fun!
