Hub's strava account has three, so I went with the one that sounded like the least amount of suffering to break myself in gently...The rubber glove. If it continues to snow, I'll a chance to try out the others!
The Rubber Glove is an FTP test. Once you get through the warm ups it's a straight push with no rests. It can be a killer on the legs. It is great for measuring progress though. If you take the average of your heart rate over the last 20 minutes of the time trial it will give you your Functional Threshold Heart Rate. You can use that to calculate training zones to help plan your training better. It's a good test to do about once a month. I'd be interested to know what the other two videos are.
Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool, but I'll have to redo it cuz I had slow streaming, and I didn't jot my HR numbers down...I was too busy gasping for air and concentrating on not stopping! My legs did feel it, but in a good kinda way...i know sick, right. I want to look into the FPT thing and the zones so I can be a better rider, and drop a gear and disappear:) Thanks for all the information! The other two videos are the Revolver and the Fight Club.0 -
Mountain biked with a girlfriend this morning, and it was a great short ride with firm trails after the rain last night. 6.35 miles, 43.7 miles total.0

Revolver is a speed video and Fight club is Time Trial/Race. Revolver is 45 minutes of intervals. There is a good warm up then it's one minute intervals at maximum power followed by short recoveries and then some sprints finishes. The Fight Club is 5 X 6:30 high intensity efforts withy surprise attacks. Both will improve speed and Fight Club will improve your ability to be running high speed and stomp on the gas and leave someone behind. Revolver improves your ability to recover quicker after a max effort.
Let me know if you when you are ready to figure out zones and I'll shoot you a private message with the calculations. If your bike computer will allow you to, you can skip recording the heart rate every minute and instead use the program to get the average over the 20 minutes. Wahoo Fitness is the program I use and it allows me to go back and look at any segment of the course and get averages off that.0 -

Just read through the past 10 pages or so I had missed since my last post. There's a lot of @ss moving this month! Also I'm still smiling at the giraffe and the bunny. Those were awesome.
3 miles running & several miles walking to add:
Looking forward to a longer run outside today. It's currently -18F but is supposed to get up to 12 or 13 above with a light wind.0 -
4 Miles on the treadmill yesterday.0 -
Looks like I forgot to put in my challenge for February. Well, the weather started off cold ( -20C ) so I figure that 4 miles per day will work. 4 x 28 = 112 so my challenge this month is 112 miles.
