Taking a GRADUATED APPROACH TO LOAD

Vasodilation Helps DFAA1 Stay High

After yesterday’s poor ride, I decided this morning to take a different approach. On most of the previous rides, I have been using % slope for load, and adjusting intensity based on cadence, gear, and speed. Today, I used raw watts for load, and started off at a very low relative intensity. Then, I slowly ‘ramped up’ the intensity, all while watching my DFAA1.

Unfortunately, I did not have my Vo2master employed, but I will try this same process again tomorrow, with all the instruments ready to go.

Here’s today’s video:

Thanks for watching, and ENJOY THE RIDE!
