Zwift spins

I've a feeling he may have been flagged by Zwift for his power, looked back at the commentary and saw some form of warning symbol over him just before he cut off?
16th for me today and I think about 5th or 6th Irish. I was lacking a bit of top end with being some 200W off my top power in the sprint but good race overall. Ive always liked that circuit, the climb really splits things up but if you can hang in there or stay close you get a recovery on the descent with another opportunity to catch back on if you are just off the back.
I looked back at it again, saw that triangle pop up and no HR in the display. 750w for about a minute is some achievement alright for a 15 year old

imho, it sounds like fatigue building up - the zwift races are quite intensive, and adequate recovery is important. Maybe take a week off racing, as if you are doing a couple of races a week, your CTL could be building up. Do you track any TSS or anything? you are on strava arent you? Maybe take a look at the effort over the past few weeks and look at the trend of effort vs recovery. Personally, i find the zwift races require more recovery than a standard race as they are so balls out, vs the usual peloton sitting up in a race. Also, ymmv, and i could be talking gibberish

At the minute I have only done two races a week on a Thursday and Saturday, but my club league is moving to Tuesday. I get what your sayign but the social bit of it is far more important than the recovery to me. I don't track TSS or look at CTL but a birds eye view of their calculations doesn't put me in a high range of either.imho, it sounds like fatigue building up - the zwift races are quite intensive, and adequate recovery is important.

I have quite a high HR. Resting is 50bpm, walking is 100bpm, sitting on a bike and just rolling is 130bpm. 150 to 170bpm is comfortable I could hold this for hours level, 10 to 180bpm is work time but easily over an hour at that, 180 to 190bpm is business time and 190 +bpm are the hard efforts (I can hit over 200bpm if I really let it all go). Most of my commutes are actually quite relaxed, the speed and odd spike are tailgunning traffic when I am out of the bike traffic. There are a few spots I don't like the bike track so I stick to the road and if there are motorists around I'll put the hammer down to keep up but these are not for very long. If you look at my cadence on several commutes, you will see me doing 0rpm and still holding over 50+kmph as I coast down the bus laneJimmiesRustled wrote: »Yeah as Lenny alluded to, I've had a quick look at your Strava and your commutes look like tempo to threshold efforts. You're not doing a huge amount of hours on the bike but it looks like everything you're doing on the bike is pretty much full gas.
And this will be difficult, my job is solo most of the time at the minute so this is the only social outlet outside of family. I really think it could be diet, hydration and rest more than anything. Muscles are definetly tight so will start to build in my old stretching routine from last year and gettgn to bed earlier going forward. I have a habit of going to bet at 1pm and getting up before 6am, which isn't healthy.Alot of my zwift races are near 90% at threshold heart rate, unreal stuff.
The recovery is key here, sleep, stretch & adequate food with plenty water. I don't think the recovery process is complicated but honesty is key here for me. You need to recognise that maybe 2 races is ott? Or do just the one for a couple of weeks.
Now just to follow the above myself.....0 -
