 Nice "long ride", March 4, 2010
|
|
I've only just gotten into using DVDs to help me get through an indoor training session while the snow is piled unusually high outside. My first training DVD came free with my trainer--Spinervals 23.0, Time Saver. It is a good way to get in a quick, hard workout. It's about 35 minutes with a challenging interval section in the middle. But I wanted a longer "ride" too. Something more like a real ride that I could get lost in and not think about the next minute on the trainer. Anchorage to Eagle Pass is billed as an aerobic workout and that's what I was looking for.
It has its pluses and minuses. The street scene and scenery, cars passing and stops signs all helped me get into the "ride." Trying to follow the onscreen cues for cadence and heart rate was not as easy without the "coach" pushing it. I kept looking down to see if I was meeting the goals. (If I could get my HR and cadence to appear on screen, then I would do better. Maybe I'll put the Edge 305 in front of me next time.) Keeping the rpms at the level suggested and the heart rate there as well is not so easy. I can see where someone could get into a comfortable, easy spin and go through the whole ride barely breaking a sweat. In that case it would be a good recovery ride video. But if you really try to match cadence and heart rate you will find it's hard to do. And you sweat buckets. I think he maintained a 90% of max HR for almost 10 minutes with a cadence of 95 or 100 on a false flat. I couldn't do it, and eventually had to ride a bit easier than suggested. Try it and you will get a work out. There are times where the suggested HR and cadence do not conform to reality. (Particularly after stop signs or traffic lights. The rid eis "real" and so he has to stop now and then, just spin easy during stops. There aren't many.) Sometimes the video doesn't align with the goals on the screen, ie, we're clearly beginning a descent and the rider is struggling as if still climbing. Also, the wide angle view makes it hard to recognize hills or get a sense of their steepness. Maybe they aren't steep, just long. I also need work on high cadence, above 110 I really couldn't sustain it well without bouncing in the saddle. (Maybe my saddle has fallen a little.)
I wish there wasn't so much time spent on the bike path, but then the highway didn't appear inviting when we saw it earlier in the ride. If I were really there, I'd take the bike path. I began to tire sometime after the first hour and took the latter part of this ride easy, even though another climb came up. I think that leaves me with some work to do on this "ride." Definitely beats an hour-and-a-half of spinning to the clock. And to me it serves a different purpose than a short Spinerval DVD.
Note: You can see from my comments on Paul's post that I had some trouble getting the DVD to play in my laptop. He sent some instructions for running it off the PC, but I got just as good results merely copying the DVD to a file and double-clicking the 12kb .ifo file which gave me all menu options, etc.

Ride in Alaska from your workout room, December 23, 2009

I have purchased several of the virtual reality videos from "Behind the Bars with Paul" and this is a great workout. The workout is plenty long enough and the heart feels it. The virtual reality of the ride brings you into the ride and you can forget you are not actually out on the road. The heads up information that is supplied on the screen keeps you honest in your effort and you can make it very real and sweet buckets in doing so. I would highly recommend any of Paul's videos wanting a great way to workout or just get in some indoor miles.

The Ride
The sun is peeking through the clouds on this day, it's 65 degrees and the winds are calm. I ask you, is there a better day to ride? Our journey begins in Downtown Anchorage and navigates the city streets until we get onto the Glenn Highway Bike Path. Heading NE, we'll arrive in Eagle River. This is a very nice city that serves as a suburb to Anchorage and is located in a spectacular gAnaerobic II Cycling the South West Sunbelt New Mexico.

The Workout
This is a great ride filled with beauty and challenges. There are several sections along the ride where I will be asking you to push hard and tax your heart. This is a solid workout that is designed to build endurance in the anaerobic zone.
