I'm trying to get into a routine so hopefully will do it at least 7 of these first 10 days. 3 for 3 so far even if I suck.
I try and push hard 3 days in a row and rest or do a recovery ride on the 4. I usually take one day off a week.
don't worry about this at all. whatever your goals are, your goals are (whether its cardio, fitness, weight loss, whatever). don't worry about output and the leaderboard too much, especially in the beginning.
Goal really only needs to be to get off your ass and do something. You do that, results will come and you will get addicted to the sweet sweet endorphins.
My first 30 minute ride was May 3 and I hit 267. I have completed roughly 20 rides since in addition to gym workouts. Last 4-5 rides have been PR’s. I hit 467 in 30 minutes yesterday. So the jump can come quickly.
Yeah I know. Did 100 on a 20 min beg ride tonight which felt good. Just one day hope to be in good shape again and catch close to the gf.
Speaking of outputs just hit a PR on a 30 minute ride, first time hitting 300 on a 30 minute ride as well. Can't fathom getting to 500 as some people do.
Robin’s Tabata class from a few days ago was the hardest class I’ve ever done. Legs just stopped working at the end.
Getting old sucks. Knee has been hurting all of a sudden for no reason. I am glad I have this bike I can hop on and do a coupe low impact rides and not make things worse and still get a nice sweat on.
I get some pretty bad Achilles tendinitis and last week was no good but could comfortably ride before I could comfortably walk.
thank you. Remember mentioning this to (iirc) you a little bit ago. Been trying to do more strength training but get tired if I do the cycle first. Hopefully this will help me.
did the Emma and Ally ride. Was 30 minutes but should have been at least 45. Went by way too fast. My favorite artist ride. I hope I’m wrong and it could be something else but I fear BAE might be a republican.
My favorites instructors so far are: 1. Emma 2. Jess King 3. Leanne (British girl) 4. Kendall Emma's music choices are exceptional
1. Robin 2. Kendall 3. Ally 4. Emma I don't have an ear for British accents, so immediately back out of a class if I forget and sign up for an instructor with an accent.
the whole prince ride they kept talking about how they were so different but it was okay. Looking at her social media she doesn’t seem like a dummy but who knows. It also could be that ally in more conservative. not really a political statement just like I said the whole “it’s okay to be different as long as you’re respectful” vibe made me go straight to politics. But, Emma seems to be really inclusive so idk maybe it’s something else. Right now she is still BAE until I see her in a MAGA hat.
Had a couple where I was flat at ~380, and fell to a ~360 and got discouraged but did a 395 on Monday. Trying to hit 400 by Labor Day.
[ You’re probably right. My mind works weird sometimes and I think I watch and read way too much stuff on politics. It was a great ride wish it was longer. If one artist deserves/ needs/ demands more time it’s Prince. That or they could do decade theme Prince rides. I’ve been a Prince Stan all my life. I think I still have the Black Album in vinyl (among others) but that one was my hardest find and thus most prized possession.
I’ve been on the power zone wagon for a while now but like to mix in a ride or two outside that a week. I wasn’t particularly motivated last week and thought I’d do a Kendal ride as a pick me up and boy howdy that was the worst ride I’ve tried on the bike. Turned off the ride 15 minutes in and just gave up. I like Kendall a lot but I think it was her 30 min pride ride that was bad music and movie trivia. Robin Lizzie ride the next day saved me.
To be fair, I’ve liked the other pride rides. That particular ride was just a really bad ride. This comes as someone who has liked almost every ride she had done to date.
FTR and it should go without but I was joking and don’t actually think you’re homophobic. I haven’t taken the ride but I took a Emma ride I hated it so yeah sometimes even the best have an off ride/play list.
393 on Jess King's 30 min house ride. I realized it was my 150th ride about 6 minutes in and I started booking it. Very annoying but I am still inching closer to 400.
From a couple nights ago. Felt super unsustainable because I ratchet up the resistance early and was dying toward the end but glad I hit my goal at least once even if I fall back for my next couple rides.
Ordered last week finally and got a 10/10 delivery date. I've tried calling several times for earlier delivery but no availability
Did the 30 min Prince strength class so decided check this ride out. You failed to mention the best part of the ride. I forget the exact lead in but when she said “don’t make me come” quickly realized how that sounded, smiled and said “don’t make me come for you”.
Ha. I was listening to my audible book on headphones with sound muted. I will certainly be taking it again and listen out for it.
