OverReaching

OverReaching With Xert

I’m just 10 days out from my “Peak” with the Xert Adaptive Training Advisor and Xert Goals, so it’s important that I push through this period, and OverReach.

An OverReach is about increasing both training volume and intensity, and FOCUSING on the intervals necessary to improve, in this case, my 5MMP power output, to be a true “Breakaway Specialist”.

I slid the “Freshness Feedback” on the Xert Goals window to ’15’, and will perform another 5:00 FOCUS ride today, probably on a wireless trainer.

Don’t forget to sign up for the Webinar that will begin immediately after the 5MMP breakthrough effort, at 1200, GMT – 8, on January 30th. Cost is just $10.99, or you can sign up for the blog at $10 and get all past, current, and future blog posts and webinars. I’ll continue to do this monthly, so let’s learn together!

Thanks again, and ENJOY THE RIDE!

Xert Workouts

Xert Workouts Follow the “SMART” Protocol

Today’s Xert Daily Ditty shows how important a good night’s rest can be, towards helping you continue your path of Progression.

I slept over 8 hours last night. When I awoke, I adjusted the Xert “Freshness Feedback”, and then, using the new Xert Adaptive Training Advisor recommendations, built a workout that addresses my goal for today.

It follows the “SMART” Protocol.

  • SPECIFIC
  • MEASURABLE
  • ACHIEVABLE
  • REPEATABLE
  • TIMELY

Don’t forget to register for my webinar on January 30th, where we’ll discuss the results of my efforts as I pursue this 5 Minute “Breakaway Specialist” fitness breakthrough!

Enjoy the Ride!

 

 

 

Xert Daily Ditty – Interval Targets

Xert Daily Ditty – Interval Targets

Today’s Xert Daily Ditty shows how the Xert Adaptive Training Advisor obtains my Interval Targets.

The Xert Focus Type Recommendation is right at my 5MMP, or current “Breakaway Specialist” wattage value. This is currently at 355 watts.

The Interval Targets just happen to be: 355 watts….. And when I look at my recent breakthrough from Monday, the Power-Duration Curve shows my 5MMP potential value to be….. 355 Watts.

Xert GOALS – Alter the parameters.

Xert Goals

Today’s Xert Daily Ditty is covering recent ground; I have to reconcile what the Adaptive Training Advisor is telling me, vs what I am seeing in the Progression and Fitness Signature.

I also need to alter the Parameters in the “Goals” Section, to better fit my perspective of what I’m seeing and feeling this morning.

Finally, we have to reiterate the most important parameters in the Xert Ecosystem – S.M.A.R.T.

Thanks, and ENJOY THE RIDE!

Xert Goals – Changing Parameters to Keep FOCUS.

Xert Goals Can be manipulated to help cyclists stay in line with their Weekly Focus. It helps to get Weekly FOCUS in line with the SUGGESTED Weekly Focus. This also helps the Workout Ratio.

Thanks and Enjoy The Ride!
