Keep the Needle Pointing “NORTH”

I’m going to Keep the Needle Pointing “North”.

The Xert Adaptive Training Advisor appears to be a reward system. I’m enjoying the fact that when I wake up, I can look at the ATA and the Training Pacer, realize just how hard or easy I need to ride, and then GO DO IT. I’ve said it before, but it’s like Eating an Elephant – One Bite At A Time.

Xert ATA October 13 2020
I just need 52 points to keep my needle on the Training Pacer at 12 O’Clock. FOCUS is at 10:47. I feel good, so I’m going to take advantage of the beautiful day and go ride my mountain bike.

To keep the needle pointing “North”, consistency is the key. The Xert Adaptive Training Advisor is looking at previous Tuesdays, and offering a workout that fits within my schedule. I’ll ride for points and FOCUS. I DEFINITELY feel “Fresh”, and I may bend the ride rules a bit when I get out there.

However, remember – if I choose NOT TO RIDE, the needle won’t point “North”. It will slide. The Blue Triangle shows where I’ll be on my progression if I stay off the saddle.

I’m going to go for a ride. I’ll be back with some results in a bit.
