That cold really got me. I kept doing small rides just to get them done but my energy was completely zapped & I’d fall asleep as soon as I sat down but starting to feel a lot better
@ashleycarole86 Sounds like you had something similar
@wendsg Hope you can figure out your running fuelling1 -

@Mari33a I'm sure I will eventually. That run just absolutely humbled me! I'll be trying for that distance again in February - this time, I'm taking up some fruit sauce pouches and am going to try and take those down along the way. I hope it helps.
Today was just a nice little meetup with some buddies in Zwift. Had fun in virtual Yorkshire.

Hello folks, if not too late, I'd like to join this group. I'd have to target about 46 miles a week to catch up. I do RPM class now and have an indoor cycle and a mountain bike. I think I can make it to 2025 miles.2

@newmeat30 Have to jump on with Mari33a - your theme pictures are excellent!
@Mari33a I've made it a goal this year to do a 100 miler each month. Rather kicking myself for leaving January's until the last minute, but hey, got it!
@globalhiker Welcome to the group!! I'm positive you can make it to 2025.
Forgot to log yesterday's (no excuse - my brain is just pudding sometimes lol), so capturing it in today's entry.

Donovan Downer, here. I ride a basic spin bike in the winter and there's no such thing as "distance." There's only cadence and (if I were willing to pay for it-- so far, I'm not) power output. I also monitor my heart rate.2

2/1- 0
2/2 - 11.5 miles
2/3 -13.5 miles
YTD- 25 mi and 2000 miles to go. I use a Lanos spin bike at home and it measures my distance. I also go to RPM class and totally love it now that I bring my own cushioned gel seat. It was a game changer. I can get my heart rate to 160 in RPM class whereas my home cycle barely makes me sweat. I have a specialized mountain bike collecting dust and I need to get it adjusted for a more comfortable ride before Spring comes.
I hope I get into outdoor cycling eventually, need to break out of my fear of falling or getting run over by a car.1 -
@Jthanmyfitnesspal If your spin bike doesn't calculate a distance, a good rule of thumb would be to make a rough assumption based on time spent spinning and your average heart rate - if you were Z1 the whole time, assume 10 mph. I'd say Z2-3 would be ~15-18 mph based on personal experience, and Z4-5 would be around 20 mph. So if you averaged your age's Z2 heart rate for 30 minutes, you could assume between 7.5 and 9 mph. That could work!!
@Mari33a Professional Bull Riding is quite the spectacle! My daughter absolutely loves the atmosphere of the events and insists we go every time it's in the state.
Some of the riders did end up injured with snapped ribs and legs from being trampled, but nobody was carried out on a stretcher and nobody died - a fantastic end to a brutal night of bull riding (those bulls are NO joke!! They make horses look like toys!)
@globalhiker If you have any trails nearby (specifically paved ones) maybe look into getting a recumbent trike? My parents got those because my father's ankle is demolished and my mother is fearful of falling, and they love their bikes! I also ride the local trails on a slew of different bikes, and do some off-roading on a gravel bike - no cars out in the forest, thankfully.
Today's rides - took the gravel bike instead of the car to the pool as the weather is awesome, and then had a Zwift meetup with a bunch of great folks from all over the world.
Ride 1 - 1.73 miles <- outdoors, to the pool
Ride 2 - 1.73 miles <- outdoors, return from swimming
Ride 3 - 10.02 miles <- Zwift meetup

More of the same for me. Yoga followed by short run & then bike1 -
29 mi/2025 miles. Long way to go!
@wendsg wow how long did it take you to ride 38 miles?
A recumbent bike is an option in my future. Goal this week is to make this a daily habit even if it's a short add-on to my other activities.1 -
@globalhiker That 38 mile ride took me just over 2 hours - it didn't have all that much climbing in it, but the group was 'banded' so it slowed down our average speed when people started losing steam (banded rides keep everyone together as long as they're pedaling, so slow people don't get dropped by speedsters - the group moves at an average speed based on everyone riding). My times vary wildly based on terrain as well, even in Zwift, thanks to riding a smart-trainer that alters its resistance to emulate gradient changes. So yeah, today's ride with an 8% gradient slope (that kicks up to 10% in areas) in dirt? Tons of resistance. You feel every percent. And move slower because the game gives you poorer rolling resistance for your bike thanks to the dirt. Still fun, though, would recommend.
Hence why sometimes I can put in a solid 45 miles in 2 hours (flat desert route in Zwift), and other times 20 miles in 2 hours is an enormous accomplishment based on mountains being climbed (like up virtual Mt. Ventoux in Zwift)
Comparably, I can usually put in 35-40 miles in 2 hours in real life because while my bike is speedy and aero, stop lights exist.
