A GREAT RIDE WITH HIGH DFAA-1!

GENTLY RISING INTENSITY LEADS TO HIGHER POWER AT DFAA1!

Here’s today’s ride, viewed in Runalyze, via DFA-a1.

DFAa1 Rising Intensity
When you start well below your AeT, and then GENTLY raise your intensity, DFAA1 responds in a safe, but delayed sense.

I didn’t have time to set up all of my instruments, but I did run 60 minutes with my Polar H10 chest strap and FatMaxxer software. Here’s the wattage profile:

DFaa1 wattage
Wattage started low, but rose. DFAA1 started high as a result, and only barely dipped below 0.75 once.

Now I WISH I could merge these files, and I’m sure I can with Runalyze, but the point is that by starting out with low wattage, and then gently raising that wattage, I was able to end 60 minutes with a higher average power, a higher average heart rate, and a higher average DFAA1.

Now, if I could just get a decent night’s sleep tonight….
