    Broken Arrow Simulation

    This morning I was planning on running with an evening ride. That was to interface nicely with a family member who was behind in their training and needed to start riding by 4:30 to get it done and off to their day commitments on time. Broken Arrow VK Simulation I decided to try a Broken Arrow simulation and set the Stryd app to 24% and thus the treadmill to 24%, and walked at about a 230+ Watt average power for 70:00 minutes. I managed to get in 2.8 miles, 3550′ of elevation gain, so right about spot on for the Broken Arrow VK. It was tough, and I’m sure it…

    Catching Up With My VK Training

    Today was interesting, to say the least. Work has been a struggle, as we’re moving into a new building which is apparently an owners’ wet dream, but downgrading the employees even more than in the current building, if that’s at all possible. I won’t go into details, but right now we’re sitting elbow to elbow at kids picnic tables holding hands, singing Kumbya, and getting nothing at all done. The Google studies this nonsense was based on used interns (slave labor) and they believed that if they were super productive they’d get their own offices, but instead were let go at the end of their counter-intuitively productive runs.

    Run Up Tibble Fork To Granite Flats

    I was doing a pretty stiff pace uphill, totally booking it downhill and I did two laps of that. Recorded with Suunto 9 Baro, exported to Stryd, then exported video to iMovie and here we are. Powered by WPeMatico

    Stryd on the Incline Treadmill Report and VK teaser

    I just finished a steep power hiking session on the Incline Treadmill at 21.5% using the Stryd Footpod and Stryd App. It accurately enough reported the 1700′ elevation gain represented by this workout. I need this desperately as I train harder for the two VK’s I’m doing this summer. Check it out. More at https://www.sevensummitsbody.com Powered by WPeMatico

    Quick story – who would do such a thing? (VK)

    Went to the team meeting tonight to try on our jerseys for the mountain bike team and while I was there one of the guys stopped and asked me about my upcoming race and when I explained it to him he was shocked. Powered by WPeMatico

    Dual App Stryd and Import to Training Peaks

    I started training with power recently with my Stryd footpod, and Zwift doesn’t really do that well, so I started using Zwift in ANT+ and the Stryd App in BTLE simultaneously. Works fine, but the export from Zwift to Training Peaks wasn’t automatic anymore. Here’s how I sync Training Peaks from both Zwift (automatic) and Stryd (manual). Powered by WPeMatico
