I agree with the fun, and even better the level of improvement that you have. This improvement then will help more on events like the ZRL and the Tour of Watopia with a lot of people starting 💪🔥 rife on!

There was a glitch once they introduced the coffee break on group ride, and Zwift pushed you back in the group at max speed 😁 probably that one

Thank you, I had to put a lot of effort in 🙌 but happy I made it 🔥

Kudos for the achievement on the group ride 👏 I always arrive on top at the limit at RT once I'm on a ride/race 😁

Alpe du Zwift (from the top after the final turn or from the bottom before the first turn). Set up: Felt AR + ARC Disc + Aero power up. Think weight was about 73-74kg

​@mumblecake251 that's really good with your weight, ADZ is not the steepest, you must have put in some serious watts 🔥

@@crankandsprints I looked it up. I was actually lying. I was 82kg around that time so had a bit more "benefit" of the weight. At that time (May 2023) the set up would have been the Canyon Aeroad + 808. I topped out at 1050W and I would think that my 15s power would have been above 900. When I got the aero on the last power up spot on the way up I thought I'd give it a go descending. I knew that it was a difficult spot to get the achievement which was part of the challenge. On a previous run I had tried with a time trial bike but for me the power up disappeared once I changed over to it ... which I thought was how it is supposed to be as you don't normally get power ups with TT bikes, only the small xp boost.

Was it a packed bunch? Sometimes ToW is up to 600/700 riders. I usually try to push at the beginning, holding on onto a fast group it help a lot for the rest of the ride 👍

I had the idea to have a push but I am not a fan of Titans Grove, happy that we work as a small group and also achieved a solid training 👊 Ride on

Happy with the SUB5 🙌

Richmond Park sunset are unreal! 🙌

It's on my playlist

Thank you 🙌 I was a bit cooked at the end but tried to keep it up 💪

@@crankandsprints top 20 finish with these TdZ groups is no easy effort!

@@SteakandChains yes I'm pretty happy 💪 Good job to hold on into the first mini group at the beginning

I did a carb load before racing 200gr of pasta and ate a lot on Saturday, I guess I was probably 62ish on Sunday afternoon 🍝

Around 5 or 6 in total without considering the Everesting when I did it 8.5 times in a day 😅🔥

You my time 46.06 28 times it does get easier

Know

Fantastic time Sub 45! That's my goal for next year! But I won't do it for a while like you said 😁

Hill Climb in the Chiltern = Wow! Sun or Rain

Thanks, next year you gotta be present 💪

40:52 Two Covids ago. Not ever to reach that number again.

Still and outstanding PB 🔥 no matter if its not replicable, still there 💪 ​@RideWithGerben

Well done for your increase to 3.2Wkg. The racing score just started but I guess it will be adapted, and the good things is not that is based on Wkg, so in a few time if you are not able to manage to arrive at the front you'll probably lose some points and at the same time the strong rider will gains more and leave the category. In this case there will be more balance, now it depends what you're good at. Sprinter or climber? I see more balance now, but it may take still some time before all will be levelled, I would say a few races every rider

​@@crankandsprints It is based on w/kg tho: "For your initial Racing Score-your seed score-we use your max 30-second and max 10-minute power from all activities on Zwift over the past 90 days. After your initial score is set, we’ll continue to use power data from all your activities moving forward, not just races, to help determine the minimum-floor-value for your Racing Score." It looks at all your activities, not just the races...

@@sams247 Well, seems it calculates the overall raw power and w/kg your max 30-second and max 10-minute power from all activities on Zwift over the past 90 days. Let's say example 30 second at 600watts and 10minute power at 300watts. So it does calculates your wattage overall and not the w/kg on those efforts. Even though is not clearly specified

Would be amazing for us climbers 🙌 but technically you can select Road to Sky and after the warm up the FTP session should be up the ADZ 💪

Thank you. I saw many videos about people not happy, but I see many benefits, as you said, in competing in also races and types of races, stage profile. Ride on 🙌

ADZ or 1hr mountain in general probably is the highest sustained effort you can get, I did my highest on Achertban. Did you reach similar numbers for 1 hour in other races/fast group rides on Zwift?

@@crankandsprints I've only been on Zwift a couple weeks so haven't done much in terms of races / group rides. Might also explain why my FTP hasn't settled yet but I've got a fair amount of endurance from bikepacking so a 1 hr effort is quite manageable.

@scareneb oh I understand, the more you Zwift the more it will increase, especially in racing on Zwift the FTP will raise and the body pushed to the limit! Ride on🙌

That's a really good push! 👍 I love hearing the noise and helps soo much, next time we do TTT I leave the speaker on so I can push all the team 🙌🔥🔥

Thanks. I still need to complete you winning one, I may complete once I'm on lunch break today 💪

Below 65ish is like stomping on the pedals 😬 but knees are OK so far

Love it. What's your 1 hour route of choice for your 1 hour effort? Tempus Fugit? Sugar Cookie?

@@crankandsprints this was pretty zwift days. On zwift it depends on the day. Mostly flat route

Before an Hill Climb definitely 😁

Just saw your video and the Cade one in Swains, with the burger story! 🍔 super cool! 👌 Thanks for the support

Thank you for the feedback 😁 let me do a poll on the channel, to see everyone opinion. Hopefully 4/5 minutes of comm are not too boring. I guess when it overheats stops for a while, on a very chilly day is not the best. I also read that the pump need to be started before pluging it, if it not completely flat 🤔

I agree👌🏻

I’m only kidding about the words on screen, I actually find them quite succinct and witty 😉 I just thought it’d be funny to hear live commentary while you’re killing yourself on the hill climb!

Great analysis and comment, I would like to add that I tried the one hour as well, in Sugare Cookie, with different diets, but is not as fun as try different tests, as you said as well is really good to start a program, o follow up one. Definitely also recommend to whoever start on Zwift and want to see where they are 🙌

@@crankandsprints From a coaching perspective, there’s a variable that makes “one hour power” problematic, and that’s body heat. If you’re going hard, as in, one-hour power hard, then your body heats up quickly and starts to affect your performance. This is why in the Hour Record, they take such pains to cool down the internals of the rider (including ice vests and ingesting iced drinks) maximally before going off the line. So these are the many variables that make “one hour power” a bit of a misnomer. As a coach, I prefer to keep things actionable, that is, useful for some practical purpose. I frankly don’t care what it takes to determine the proper “FTP” for a particular rider and program given their technology. I just want it to be repeatable so I can use that test to assess progress. So, for example, if you’re on TrainerRoad and you use their AI FTP estimator, and it dials in a great, sustainable, successful program for you (and that would vary by their own programs…) then that’s your practical, useful, meaningful FTP. But if you just want a big number, which seduces far too many riders, then either lie (easiest) or use the highest scoring estimation techniques! I can vary my own personal FTP by over 20 watts just by changing watt meters and testing protocol. But there’s only one that dials in my best relationship to the program I’m using right now. And it’s shown itself to be reliable FOR ME over time and with experimentation. Which includes plugging in the bigger number and as a result, OVERtraining… Dialing that in takes some time and work and the number might not be your highest number. So when people ask “what’s your FTP,” my coach response is “it depends on a lot of things.” I leave it at that because the number gets to be a bit of a test of genetics and narcissism more than fitness. Just my two cents!

Rolling Highlands course, defo not my fav 😁

I'll have a check at the Scherrer Formula. Agree on the different tests, I tried to do it on the flats to give myself a bit more of a challenge in this case 💪

The Ramp is a good training for the all out push, that is part of a balanced FTP, being able to maintain that power for long time. One hour is difficult, usually the IRL power in race gave me good standards and a clear idea about it and about the current form. It's just not a steady pace. Good idea for the .9 and .88 I'll test a similar one in the coming weeks, another type of FTP that other platform have and not zwift

I agree that can vary based on physical conditions in my case the max variations is 20/25watts which is only 1minute. Makes sense, sometimes I've been able to hold a minute more

2km at 6% steep at the beginning and milder on the second part. I like more HC that average 10%+

@@crankandsprints nice it was fast, under 6 minutes. Do you know what's your watt/kg? :)

@RobertTaba__ru-ti9dg on the climb it was 5.7wkg. My usual is just above 4.2wkg but with low raw wattage

The cheering section is fantastic! especially at end of stage or end of climb 💪

Thanks ✌️ tried to push on the part where my strength are, solid teamwork 💪

Ahahah 🤣🤣 I kept asking if I had the right bike, 3 years on zwift and still can't workout if I picked the right bike. Perfectly on time 😁 great work team, well done ⚡️

@@crankandsprints indeed! loved every second of it! goodnight, my friend!

@oldanslo good method, if you don't have a buddy that says that his power meter is "not working properly today" 😅😁

Cheers. One time I found it closed but there's a hole, so I did a CX move 🤣 but missed the PB

Thanks ✌️

you must reveal on the next episode, I guessed someone was crying 😢

@@matteomagagnin8407 stay tuned for the future of the lemon 🤣
