Xert Breakthrough With Physiological Metrics Part One – Warmup
We Use a Moxy Monitor, a Vo2 Master, PerfPro Studio, and Xert To Show a PROPER Warmup I continue to learn something almost daily when it comes to mixing Physics and Physiology. The data that we get and use for wattage training, is almost always complemented by the information I collect from physiology. We have […]
Moxy Monitor Warmup Protocol
The Moxy Monitor Warmup Protocol Ensures a Better Ride! The Moxy Monitor gives cyclists a better window into their body, and how the body responds to intervals and recovery. When we use the Moxy for warmup observations, we end up with a higher saturated muscle oxygen (SMo2), and a higher Total Hemoglobin Count (ThB). […]
Using the Moxy Muscle Oxygen Monitor to Affirm LT1
Moxy Muscle Oxygen Monitor Is A Passive Way to Detect Lactate Threshold Deflection Points I’ve been using the Moxy Muscle Oxygen Monitor since the product first became available in the early 2010’s. I quickly realized that it offered insights into physical fitness unlike any other product. Today’s Online Bike Coach Daily Ditty shows how my […]
Using Xert to Show an MD Why You Think There’s Something WRONG With Your Heart.
Xert Metrics Can Show You When Things May Be Wrong Beyond Means Which You Can Control. Today’s Xert Daily Ditty is really an interview where one of my long-time clients, who is also a teammate and friend, explains how he knew something was wrong when he saw his Xert XPMC metrics dropping. He tried everything. […]
The Xert “Time-to-Exhaustion, Time-to-Recovery” Garmin Field in REAL TIME.
Today’s Xert Daily Ditty shows how the Xert “Time-to-Exhaustion, Time-to-Recovery” Field shows timer countdowns and count ups, as wattage is generated while cycling. Not much is going on this week, since I am tapering, but the Xert “Time-to-Exhaustion, Time-to-Recovery” Field will be integral to my 5MMP Breakthrough Effort. Thanks for watching, and ENJOY THE RIDE!
Xert Breakthrough Programming
Xert Breakthrough Programming – Building a workout to achieve a breakthrough! Today I’m building a workout, first through Excel, then through the Xert Workout Builder, to create 5 by 1-minute intervals, to help me visualize the average power necessary to achieve a breakthrough. I’m trying to program surpassing 356 watts over 5 minutes. Here’s […]
Xert 5MMP
Xert 5MMP – Can I REALLY Achieve A Breakthrough? I’m just nine days out from my Peak date per Xert. My Xert 5MMP is reading “355”, and it floats between 355 and 357. I rode some 5 minute intervals yesterday and barely broke 302! The Vo2 data is showing that 355 will be a true […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
