EYE APPOINTMENT AT EYE DOCTOR TODAY..goood friday morning..today is appointment at eye doctor..to see how much change in the ole eyes in a year..dont even want to go since i didnt go to the specialists last year to check on my macular degeration..i know i know i need to go...just not a run to the doctor kind of person...
did a different workout on zwift today..upon the suggestion of the owner of the bike shop..he suggested do sprints ..said that would increase my speed when riding..instead of racking up the miles..by having a heart monitor on my chest when i ride i can track the zone i need to be in to burn more calories in less amount of time...his explanation taken from an email explaining it to me...
Okay, that 1 point means you spent 1 percent of your ride time in the Threshold range or Zone 4 168-184.
That is the zone you need to be into make yourself faster. Looks like you stayed in Tempo range which is good for being able to go long distances at a quick pace, but won't make you faster which is why Strava lets you know how much time you spent in the red.
Generally for my rides I do intervals in the red zone so I would do several 5 minute intervals at the upper end at 180 plus and then recover for between intervals for 2 to 5 mins and the do more intervals. This in effect causes the body to build more muscle and generate more mitochondria in the cells, the parts that help you utilize oxygen better. The more you punish yourself, the more your body adapts. But doing this requires scheduled off days where you do stretching or strength training instead of riding the bike or go for a nice walk-- Give your heart a rest.
Hope that explains it okay.
yesterdays ride i rode at a 65 buffer score...todays ride i rode at an 80...i found riders i could keep up with an do sprints with them as they rode..i was able to do a 20.6 mile ride in less time then normal an get a much better workout..
