Next target is definitely a full hour of 1000W reps. I only stopped last night because I had to start making the boys’ dinner! 😉

Were you powering the microwave for dinner?

Next target a full hour at 1000 watts

Hurry up while it's still there

Certainly lower than we've seen before

 

[CXRAndy]

I did it! 1224W and 45 reps of 1kW+

Is this a custom workout or Swifts own ?

It's not a workout, though I could have set one up to prompt me to push every minute. I just rode with Cadence, yoyoing up and down through the pack.

Did your Fuego Flats effort on Tuesday go over 1000W average for 15s, @Whorty ? Great to see that your mosh pit injury isn’t holding you back 😊

Looks like I held over 1000 watts for 8 seconds .... which I'm well chuffed with.

It was a 32 second sprint, so I had to give the other guys a chance and pulled off the power after I'd made the break

How long did you hold each 1000 watts?

Mighty impressive sprint and recovery ... I might try something similar before the season starts. A bit of fartlek

I did it for 2s

I did try to be conservative, knowing that it's a long un. No luck with chasing that 1100W achievement just yet

Still, so far managed to improve 1s/5s/15s power by about 150W compared to May so not bad - not sure about recovery

Usually only for about 3s - as soon as I saw the display on the screen (3s average) power go over 1000W, I eased off. I pushed a bit harder or a bit longer (oo-err!) on some of the efforts, but that tended to put my HR up massively. My best 5s was 1159W.

Here you go.

I knew on that sprint I had to break the elastic so that you guys couldn't surf my wheel. Hence the big dig as I set off, then kept the power high but no longer 'sprinting'. It's the only way to make a long attack stick.

Ah, ok, interesting. Never tried that kind of workout. Must be great for recovery efforts. And 45x3 seconds is a long time at 1000 watts over the duration of the workout!

@bridgy dirt results are up- zwiftpower actually had ours bang on

Ours match the ZP numbers - but they still don't look right to me!

What a finish at the Vuelta today!
