Show us your.......newbie progress!

[Stonechat]

sorry been one of those afternoons...

I did use it for a while as well but when they changed to the new interface and life kept logging me out I quit with it. Now I don't really go there other than to plan routes - talking of which my OH has requested a long ride over the weekend. must go and plan something...

It did used to show which HR zones you were in but could not get it to do that just now

Also if you programme a workout, you have no way of giving a stage a customer name (this is where I put instructions to self which appears on the Garmin)
You still get this if you programme the work out using the original training centre programme

programming work outs is a bit passed me... I only cycle outside and don't do the HR monitor stuff... I get enough exercise with my 44 mile commute 2-3 times a week plus general cycling transport and a weekend ride with my OH... I would hate to know what my heart though of the exercise I take... It already routinely sets off all the alarms in hospitals dropping below 60rpm even when I am in a consultation...
However I do know that it was only 99rpm 2 minutes after getting off my bike after racing into town to get to a hospital appointment I had forgotten about. I did tactfully point out to them that tacking my BP immediately after I had arrived after cycling 6-7 miles with an interesting last uphill climb (lowest gear job with vehicles unable to overtake you...) was not going to look great (I have hypertension)... the only thing it really confirmed was that I was correct.... my consultant then repeatedly took it during the appointment and had me lying down at one point - confirming I also have postural hypotension!

@Harv just do what I do and enter it monthly on M.C.L.

 

[Harv]

Thanks for the replies. I'll check out the garmin app on my iPad initially as my strava auto syncs to garmin. If that does it it saves me manually updating figures.

It's been some time since I've seen one of your rides on Strava. Hope to see you back in action soon.

The only 2 cars I met on the roads, actually STOPPED to let me past, maybe the front is a little bit brighter than they're used to on a push rod and were a bit confused?

after this week on mod'ing I am quite grateful... you can tell that the fair weather cyclists are starting to get stir crazy... beginning to wonder what I let myself in for when I agreed to it

perhaps I should just now...

off to bed...

some areas of the country have been worse than us. I have started to detect a pattern in members behaviour when the weather is bad....

Good to see you back Daz. I like the sound of your lights. Might have to look in to getting some as my current set up isn't that great.

 

[Torvi]

Next years plan! 5000 miles in a year, average 104 days to do it and wont be counting commutes in.

No it was a mistake, things a little slow here today, a bit like the garmin has been.
