does anyone with a 920xt know why pool data might not have synched with garmin connect
everything else is transferred , and the info is there in history on the watch
I use a 920xt, got a couple of thoughts:
1. Garmin make great products but their firmware is crap, make sure you're up to date with updates on the device.
2. Reboot in stages, on and off with Bluetooth, devices, etc.
TBH, I've had no problems with swim data, just Bluetooth being a pain.
My diet sucks, i workout at the gym, but i don't eat right at all. Not over weight, but need to eat better for my health.
Easier said than done bud, I've been eating crap for years and stayed under the "obese radar" for years, but still want to shift the handles of love
I'm current at around 14.5 stone, and looking at where I should be whilst maintaining muscle etc, I'm heading towards 13.5 stone next year. Now that's not my goal, my goal is to compete in the Tough Mudder and hopefully be at sub 12% body fat by then in August.
Diet was the hardest one for me to control, as going to the gym was a disciplin that you only needed to abide by for the 5-9 hours per week, whereas the diet is a lifestyle choice which means your doing it permanently... allowing the odd cheat meal if that's your thing (I did). However I fell off the wagon this year and couldn't be bothered to get back on, but my mind is set for the new year to see it through!
I've bought clothes to fit the new me, I just need to see if I can get in them! Trouble I have had recently is my shoulders are growing quicker than the rest of me, so I'm buying XL shirts which is annoying as I don't like baggy clothing!
You'll sort the diet if you want to be serious, however as long as your not shovelling in loads of crap all the time, and you are working you heart etc you'll be healthy enough
Everesting - 122.9 miles with 22,790ft of climbing.
24hr ride - 203.9 miles
Lejog - never happened
All my challenges never went to plan but **** happens, I gave it my best shot, raised roughly £1,800 for Pancreatic Cancer Scotland.
Next year it'll be all about speed and fitness, I'm back on the bike again regularly now with the turbo trainer and I'll be starting a structured training plan based on power.
I'll try EVERESTING again and I'll be attempting a UMCA cross country record which I will smash. 255 miles in 16hrs or so.
Cheers guys, hopefully I can better my targets this year.
I've been training solid for two weeks now and I'll be starting my structured programme in two weeks.
All based on power, currently doing all my training on the trainer but come February March time I'll mix it up with the road as well. Good thing about the trainer is there's no variables to worry about, there's no ifs or buts, the performance is what it is so when it comes to working out progression and improvements it's a great training tool.
Another goal is to achieve a 300w avg during a FTP test, will be tough but I feel like I can achieve it.
( iv been thinking investing , never had one before )
I went all out and purchased a Wahoo Kickr smart trainer, it is a lot of money but if you're serious about training and absolutely love cycling then it's well worth the money.
With that being said though you could get a smart trainer for around the £350-£500 mark that you can use with zwift and reap the benefits from that.
You can use zwift with cheaper trainers but you'll need to have all relevant sensors so that zwift has enough info to calculate parameters. Speed,cadence,power etc.
The good thing about the Kickr is you don't need any sensors other than HR, it has everything that is needed. They say you shouldn't get hung up on numbers but TBH I thînk it's a must for improving fitness and being as fast and as fit as you can be because at the end of the day power is fact, it is what it is......
What happens on the road , do you have an other one for that ?
Yes it has one built in.
For the road you'd need another powermeter but if you bought for example a stages PM,or Powertap wheel you could use that on any trainer and get all the data that you need. In fact, with a meter, speed sensor, cadence sensor & HR monitor you could still use zwift I'm sure.
ah ok thanks
I think a power meter is clean beyond my sensible expenditure in truth unless maybe the one that measures airflow , power pod I think
Sensible expenditure when straight out the window once I became obsessed with cycling, to be fair it keeps me sane and gives me something to work towards.....and keeps me fit.
I haven't read up much about the meters you've mentioned so I'm not sure how accurate they are. I've recently purchased Powertap P1 pedals on the basis that they're so easy to swap between my road bike and TT bike.
I have a first generation Kickr, great piece of kit, solid and reliable. I train probably 95℅ time on the turbo. I'm using it with trainer-road and bkool. I also borrow a bkool pro to race with in the leagues on bkool. I have got some hill training to do for next month, I'm off to Tenerife to scare the sky team(not).
Well I've decided to introduce more cardio into my training some few weeks ago. I managed a jog-walk combo of 12 miles in over 2 hours, today I repeated the same route and managed a 1hr 50m, however the terrain is harsh going, unsure on the exacts as my phone died half way round using sports tracker, but the immediate start of the run was a serious climb. I plan on doing this fortnightly along with much other cardio advancements, but what would you expect to be a reasonable time for 12 miles with around 5 miles of it being flat and the rest being moorland?
Cheers
Rob
