75 XSS for 75 Days – First 14 Days

75 XSS for 75 Days – What’s Happening to my Fitness? XSS Stands for Xert Strain Score. It’s a way to combine time and energy at different intensities. It’s a measure of Cycling Volume. While I unofficially began thinking about this goal in late May, I announced the plan on this forum later, in Mid […]

January 30th, 2021 Webinar – Xert Gave me a 9 Week Plan for a 5MMP Breakthrough.

Did I Achieve my Goal?

The Xert Adaptive Training Advisor is an uncanny Artificial Intelligence program that provides suggested workouts and weekly FOCUS recommendations. 

I worked for 9 weeks of Progression, following the Xert Adaptive Training Advisor, to see if I could achieve a 5MMP Fitness Breakthrough. 

Let’s see how it went!

Xert Taper

Xert Taper and Building the 5MMP Breakthrough Workout   I’m just five days out from my Peak Performance, and it’s time for the Xert Taper. I’m switching the Xert Improvement Rate MANUALLY down to “Taper”. I thought that Xert would do this automatically, but it’s provided a “Hazard” sign informing me that it would be […]

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 – Let’s GLANCE at the “Rankings”

Xert Rankings Give You An Idea of Where You Stand Amongst Your Peers   After a great weekend of cycling outdoors, I ended up with an unexpected guest (and friends), which led me to a lot of stress and no sleep. SO, I am sliding the Freshness Feedback bar to the left, WAYYY Left, and […]

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 […]
