@@evilstef667 good that means we can finally race together and I can domestique for you

@@everydayzwifter very good point!

@@davidschlitter6144 At the moment I’m unfamiliar with how to use the data the sensor provides to determine training zones other than where my max fat oxidation is at. Which for me seems to be at a lower heart rate and intensity than what Zwift and my FTP suggests. I think if Calibre could add a feature where it takes your data and puts it into more of an entry level understanding, it would make it great to identify and refining training zones or specific efforts. At the moment my focus is more on the metabolic cues I get and how to adjust my fuel timing. I think I’ll try to learn more about breath analysis and how that data identifies performance so I can better understand the data the app has available. I would say depending on your long term goals it may be worth getting. For me, I’m looking to get to the elite levels by 2026 and this is helping me understand what my metabolism is doing on a case by case basis so I can identify times when I need to fuel and times when I don’t.

@@davidschlitter6144 also, I might be singing a different tune after the firmware update since I will be retesting and seeing if the old data matches with the new data. I do feel like where it has my fat oxidation drop off is at a lower heart rate and effort than what I feel in comparison to my heart rate and blood glucose data.

@@SteakandChains I saw that in your first video how you could see where your fat/carb mix transitioned to 100% carb. That would be really helpful to know and be able to do endurance z1/z2 rides at that something below that power. I have used a lactate meter and FTP power test methods (which are a good 30-60 watts apart), so having another data point would be great. Last season I made some really good progress by doing a lactate ramp test and then riding ALOT at my power that was right below 2mmol/L. It was def a challenging but productive training method. I hear you talking about low carb strategies and trying to figure out how to fuel your rides. I really can't imagine having productive rides/training without LOTS of carbs. Maybe something to try for a period of time. I am sure you have also heard the advice of fuel the rides and then keep your diet balanced from a macros perspective.

@ they are a few trainers out there/physiologist out there that do talk about using fats and carbs appropriately so you aren’t over doing it but you’re still fueling for the performance you require. For me, since most of what I do is under 90 minutes, I can get away with minimal to no carbs. Anything intense then I’ll add more ad needed. My blood sugar looks like a roller coaster during an average Zwift race. I can spike up to 160 mg/dl which is almost like eating a sugary meal simply because high intensity workout force your body to release glucose from storage so the muscles have direct access to it. Simon hill and iñego san milan have a great talk on this. I know that if I am going to be doing a zone 4-5 effort for more than an hour I will add carbs but realistically only need 10-20g per hour to keep my energy up. My muscle more often than not fail before my energy does. How was your lactate testing. I want to go down that rabbit hole since lactate clearance is almost a better metric of performance than vo2.

@@crankandsprints I’ve seen a few zwifters mention and show the drone shots but never saw how it was done till I looked it up this weekend then I found the Elgato mobile app and had a lot of fun playing with it. It’s isn’t perfect but still fun

@@JDirom it was definitely awesome! Next race we’ll jump on discord and create some chaos for sure.

Hi David, thanks for the question. So after spending about 10+ minutes typing I figured it would be best to do a full video on it. I’ll do my best to cover every experience I’ve had with it. Until then i would say look at this like any other tool. If you don’t have a way to independently validate your results then it’s only one data point. Give me a day or two and I’ll get that posted.

@ Sweet! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

@@RideWithGerben it was pretty epic 🤣. Going to try it again tonight. Hopefully it comes out as cinematic

Fun race

@@evilstef667 that’s what I was thinking too. Minor sprain but I’ll be back up by Monday

Get better soon dude. Still less injuries in Zwift that irl!

@ thanks. My ankle is better. Did a fairly decent ride today. I’ll be back to full swing by Monday

@@crankandsprints yup, I find it easier to sprint while ramping up my cadence, but I need to get better at starting from a higher cadence since right now I’m maxing out around 95-100 rpm. I’d like to get into the 110-120 of possible

@@fabpsyclin you’re right, did I say 808? Looks like I was on the 808s. No wonder this ride felt harder since the 808s do have a penalty for climbing. Good catch!

@@evilstef667 thanks! I was definitely happy i could keep a decent power even after the multiple surges that we had to do up the false flats and cobbled sections to keep up

@@SteakandChains we did that on Monday , Ryan , Erik Lee and myself ,in the 570-700 bracket , we had some surges and the last bump up till finish was all Z5 + Z6 with a few sprinkles of Z4 , nothing left for a sprint espacially doing Kiss 100 race the day before

@@evilstef667 JD and I were talking about that after Monday, we should do some more team style racing to mix things up in the ZRacing event 🤣. Probably going to make some peoples mad

@@ffwdzwift4541 I have to agree! This first round of sprints was wayyyy harder than the sprints in FRR

@@joshvillen good to know, thank you!

@@SteakandChains what Josh said , and not only you , the other team also

@ oh wow. Definitely don’t want to get anyone DQ from my lack of abilities

we can trade! i'd love to climb like you. that's my goal for this year is to get above 300w average on climbing.

@ gogogo!! Start with small climbs. Worked for me!!

@@bravehartley because I did that my whole life and got fatty liver along with other metabolic problems. So I focus on optimizing my metabolic health then celebrating with cookies and candy as I achieve milestones.

@@PeerensClement hahahaha about 1/4 cup heavy cream. 2 tblsp of MCT and water, tastes and has the same consistency as a glass of milk without the sugar

@@NathanKrake this round was definitely harder but I also pushed my limits to get into the top 20 for the green jersey. I am glad it’s over

@@JDirom I’ll be traveling for a week so I’ll miss the next two TTTs but I’ll at least be there for ZRL stage 1. Then my legs will get plenty of rest

@@ericbarfell thanks!!! You killed it today, I kept watching to see your name pop up on the sprint leader board. Today was an absolutely terrible stage. 2 more days and we can “rest”

@@zwiftcyclingbrian hahaha. You just gotta keep up for like 15 seconds and then i fall flat hahaha. Now lets see if i can do the same today after the climb up the epic/grade reverse

@ lol. I’m telling you, I blame my whole Tour cat on you during the classification stages. Fair warning on the revenge I want tonight! lol. Doing awesome, buddy! Keep it up.

@ hahahahha

@@evilstef667 dude that’s awesome!!!! I’m hoping after today’s FRR stage I will be closer to competing for the green jersey but we’ll see if I don’t fall apart on the climb 🤣😅

@@evilstef667 this!

@@brianpmack I agree. I will likely do some z2 work to keep my legs softened for tomorrow.

You are so powerful at the start of the sprint, you burst to front and loose all draft. Maybe being a bit braver and dropping further off the pack before the sprint so you get more draft for longer, or ramping up to your max sprint a little bit later?

Great sprinting power!

@@ethankeyes2231 yes, all the segments in play are FTS which is great for me so I don’t have to work as hard to stay on the front 🤣
