kind of jealous of you guys who can ride outside. On the other hand I'm not a very good cyclist and I am not sure I could do the FTP workout outside without killing myself. How do you ride with your head down and eyes closed outside? Use The Force?
I'd think that tilting the saddle up would increase pressure, since the pelvis can't rotate forward - but it's easy enough to give it a try and see if maybe there is a trickle down effect with mechanics that ends up helping.
Cobb' s site states it allows you to rotate your hips back and take pressure off the sensitive bits. Seems to work for me, but I am far from an expert. I adjusted it only 1-2 degrees though ( used a level )
So I was having technical difficulties yesterday and could not post, but I got the bike in early in the day. I like many it seems am fighting fatigue I think as it took a bit to get the ol' motor going and it was a bit harder to get the last 10 min in at pace. I did get it done with only one or two times slipping below the desired zone, but it was a fight. I had a wedding yesterday, so getting extra rest wasn't an option either. Let's hope today is better for rest. All in all, I did get in over 1:15, so small victories.
Late reporting yesterdays bike but all went well. I'm liking the enhanced WU with 12' @ 85% but sometimes, yesterday, I had trouble holding back and ended up with an IF of 0.873. I may have burned a few matches there but it was encouragaing going into the 2x20 + 1x12
MS results were 0.986 & 0.963 for the 20s, then 0.963 for the last 12 which was very hard to hold.
Yesterday's bike went well - did the 2 X 20' @ Z4 and for the 1 X 12' @ Z4 - I went to my SCR and worked on getting my rpms up. I like to normally do between 65-70 rpms and know I should spin more. So, on the last set I get the rpms up to 80-90 and to me I am just going nuts.
Interesting note: with the last set of high rpms, I run better off the bike. I guess biking and running at the same rpms (I watched the RnP podcast on this) makes this easier. I need to try this once I can get outside - always been meaning to do this...
