Affirming DFAA-1 Aerobic Base With Vo2Master and Moxy
A New Calculation Uses Heart Rate Variability to Better Tune DFAA-1 I’ve been a big fan of Dr. Bruce Rogers, since 2017. He is a trained MD, but publishes his work in credentialed journals. As a Masters’ level road cyclist, he knows how important heart health is. He is also fully aware of the cardiac […]
More Fun With DFAA-1
“Using an old copy of RaceDay Apollo, a program invented by Dr. Philip Skiba, the software showed a .9799 (97.99%) probability factor that I would be able to hold 230 watts over 30 minutes. This product is no longer on the market, but copies of it are prized. With that number in mind and knowing that I did not have much intensity under my belt, I attempted to match or possibly break this value….”
Fat Burning, and DFAA-1, an Introduction
The metabolic fat-burning zone is not a new phenomenon. It can be found through a Vo2 apparatus that measures changes in Ventilatory Threshold. It can also be found through regular and invasive pricks with a Lactate Tester. The goal is to find the intensity where a cyclist’s Ventilatory Threshold changes; in other words, where their breathing frequency rises. A similar deflection can be found when using Lactate Testers; we are trying to find the intensity where the body begins to accumulate Lactate from a point where it can be processed back into….
The Road to 300 Watts FTP
Right Now, It’s NOT about 300 Watts; It’s About Raising LOWER THRESHOLD
The goal of base is to train the body for Economy. Stamina is the fundamental Pillar for Polarized Training. When you train using DFAA-1, you can get a clearer picture of how your body is responding to the training. Wattage and traditional heart rate become
Getting FatMaxxer On the Same Screen As PerfPro Studio
The FatMaxxer App for Android is one of my favorite instruments when used in conjunction with a Polar H10 Chest Strap.
DFAa1 Ride In the Evening – Did That Improve Monday Night’s Sleeping Pattern?
I Changed my Workout Schedule To An Afternoon DFAa1 Ride Yesterday’s DFAa1 Ride occurred around 4pm. Normally, I ride in the late morning, but I have been multitasking on several fronts, and fell behind. I also did not get to enter in my 60 minutes, instead riding in the afternoon. This was also an attempt […]
DFAA1 – Curb My Enthusiasm
I thought A Good Night’s Sleep Would Lead to A Good Ride. My Heart Said Otherwise It’s frustrating – today’s ride started off with the best of intent. However, the FatMaxxer App, monitoring the DFAA1 fractions on my Heart Rate Variability, showed more strain than my wattage allowed. In other words, for the PRESCRIBED Heart […]
October 9 2021 Post-Ride Analysis
Bouncing Between DFAA1 0.75 and 1.00 for Optimal Fat Burn and Aerobic Base Improvement Having the FatMaxxer Android software on-screen in realtime has brought a new element to my base training. I use the screen to try and keep my intensity between DFAA 1.00 and 0.75. The advantage to this is that I can […]
First Ride Using FatMaxxer For Aerobic Conditioning
Trying to Keep DFAA1 Between 0.75 and 1.00 Today’s Ride was just the first step in what will arguably be a four to six week effort to establish a BASE of AEROBIC Fitness. I rode just under 60 minutes, and used the information from FatMaxxer to keep my riding intensity at maximum aerobic intensity. Yesterday, […]
