Are you kidding me? If I rode this many hours on Zwift in a WEEK......

- When the racing season is put on indefinite hold, athletes look for new challenges. There were some LONG Zwift rides this Spring performed by Pro and amateur cyclists young and old. Here is an analysis of one of them.
That is an astonishing effort. I found your site via Dylan Johnson's channel having recently started a polarized training plan. I can already feel the benefits. Such a simple yet effective method of training. I feel great, stronger than ever and the 80% Zone 1 rides are really enjoyable. The 20% Zone 3 HIIT rides are really tough but you feel a great deal of satisfaction having completed them. Intuitively the plan makes sense.
Thanks for sharing this Stephen, amazing to see what the top level (or close to it) riders are capable of!
Love your work. I found it has made a huge improvement without killing myself. Thanks!
Wow that's impressive! I'm around 67kg too but I would never be able to hold that power for more than a couple of hours
Have you mentioned anywhere that the public can use EnDuRA? I copied the URL and was able to create an account, which was exciting!
can you share the url i am struggling to figure it
thanx
@@kisscsaba7989 bluecattechnical.shinyapps.io/EnDuRA/ I havent uploaded a file yet, and the developer told me it wasn't in beta, but I was able to create a user account
Thomas Jones got it thank you
Hi Thomas. Just to clarify it should all work. We’re just putting the finishing touches to the current version before going out to formal testing. Thanks for sharing, this has been a good test of whether the server can handle multiple users.
That is really impressive in many ways! I'm impressed
Great stuff, Doc!
@stephen It would be very interesting to learn about his fueling strategy for this session as this might be a key aspect. i assume he understands really well what to give his body to maintain the effort and not even see the heart rate drift.
This was stated in an article on cyclist.co.uk and you will also notice he did stop for toilet breaks - "Abrahamsen fuelled the ride with 13 energy bars (1 per hour), and 17 bottles of water-energy drink mix (50/50). He stopped to go to the toilet three times and changed his bibshorts a few times because he was sweating a lot. In the end, he burned 11,000 calories and used a lot of chamois cream."
Super impressive! Thanks for sharing.
Miguel Indurain, a Spanish cyclist and five time Tour de France winner, had a resting heart rate of 28 beats per minute, one of the lowest ever recorded in a healthy human.
Worth pointing out that it’s possible to edit out paused periods etc using tools such as FitFileTools if athlete had wanted to clean up data a little first. Seems fairly unlikely not stopping pedalling at all for 13 hours to take a nature break or anything so imagine this is the case. A 13hour ride is still clearly a heck of an endurance feat at any kid of intensity but just saying it *may* not have been completely continuous.
My thoughts exactly. Some recording methods cut zeros out entirely. Also, it looks like there are some downward spikes in HR which would indicate breaks
This is a quote from a cyclist.co.uk article - "Abrahamsen fuelled the ride with 13 energy bars (1 per hour), and 17 bottles of water-energy drink mix (50/50). He stopped to go to the toilet three times and changed his bibshorts a few times because he was sweating a lot. In the end, he burned 11,000 calories and used a lot of chamois cream."
I am curious how his cadence looked like zooming into maybe 30min of the effort just to see if he does coast or maintain constant pedaling.
My ischial tuberosity already aching from watching this
OMG! And I have problems to sit on my bike for 2 hours
Is there any training benefit from a ride this long ? Could the same befit be derived from say 8, 6, or 3 hours ?
Is there anything like this url for running. I mean where you can detail results by different factors?
Yes the same site works for running and cycling. It should work with any FIT/TCX/GPX file although primarily designed for running and cycling at the moment
@@johnpeters4216 thank you
Are you able to tell that the athlete was or was not using erg workout mode? Does it even matter if he was?
Isaac Young seems like ERG mode would reduce the mental strain of such an effort considerably as well as prevent you from accidentally “burning matches” or going too hard early on, if nothing else
28 resting HR? Isn't that almost dangerously low?
It’s not for a lot of endurance athletes. Especially, if they’re measuring RHR first thing in the morning, before they get out of bed.
@@CraigKeene Agree with you. I'm far from this level of fitness and my heart rate drops down to 48 overnight.
just out of interest how many KM was that Stephen?
500km
The question could also be, what is the value of such a 13 hr session? It's impressive, but as a training concept, is there real value?
