Bass! How low can you go?
Death row. What a brother knows.
Once again, back is the incredible
The rhyme animal...

I don't see the point of this thread really.

All fitness is, at its heart, is stress and recovery. Increase the stress (miles, intensity, blindfolds*) in whatever way you can in a way that does not injure you, allow some rest, rinse and repeat.

For most people that translates to: ride your bike more.

You must be the 1st person I have "met" who enjoys being patronised!

That's an odd statement...

Has anyone found out what this "high level" is?

My base has been 400 miles in the last week. All below threshold and a long way below. 100m Friday and 100m today.
Sorry for sounding garish as some guys have pointed out.
I am a git.

Ha - some of these comments are cracking me up...
One of these rides is labelled "160km spinning below LT"
No sh1t - of course it was below LT, I mean who could ride pretty much continuously for 160km / 6 hours at (or above) threshold??
By definition, in simple terms LT is roughly "as hard as you can go for around 1 hour".
Next it will be "7 hour ride - below sprinting pace"
Keep them coming though

Hilarious aren't they basically he is terrible and slow and covers it up with big ride names haha

Only 19mph at threshold...? Too much of a beast? LMAO!

BTW, the above it not something I would say in general, I am only mocking/teasing because of the comments regarding riding at a high level and the self proclamation of being "Too much of a beast" thing
