Oslo-Kringsjå=6km

From Nasjonalteater to Kringsjå.




































I have started a new method of cycling in order to beat the unbeatable!
Specially on this tour where I keep on trying to beat the subway, ...silly, I know! But even for silly things we need some strategy. Ok... I do! :) Since I have been trying and trying but I cannot get a better record than the 22m15s.

So I am trying now to increase my anaerobic tolerance in order to get better performance. For that I created a new "Force Training".
In this mode, although it might look really similar trainings (by the values shown), though the "Force training" is much hard.

The fact that the cadence is now lower, it requires more power per revolution. That, of course, decreases performance and until today I always did worst timings on this mode. Today I got it on the same timing as the best record on "Performance training" so it is worth compare! :)
In terms of energy consumption it does not look much more but believe me... its terrible and beautiful!!! heheh

"Force Training" stimulates another type of muscle fibers that requires more oxygen to work.
I wanted to inhale the whole world when I was doing it!
The good side of it is that it increases your tolerance to work in anaerobic mode. So, hopefully I will go back to "Performance training" and be able to break my record of 22min.

Force training is essential if you want to improve your records!
In this particular case I got the same record but its not suppose so. We just use the Force training to prepare your fitness and then go back to normal training (the performance one) and then break our records!

Good luck!

Oslo-Sandvika=15km

From Pilestredet to Bærum city hall, 14.7km

by Train: 34min (bike in the train, without waiting and buy the ticket)
by Bike: 41min

Speed: 22km/h
%HRmax: 77%
Above 80%: 5m07s
Cadence: 67rpm

% of HRmax ?

No, I am not a high performance cyclist!
% of HRmax represents your heart beats per minute, converted into percentage for a better understand.
I normally cycle between 70 and 80% of my heart limit. That is a moderate training that most healthy humans can do!
Check the graph bellow and you can see how easy is to beat "Faster by Bike" challenges!

Our HR is much lower in long distances than in short ones. I believe that it has to be with a psychological fact related to the consciousness of the distance that you are up to.
I hate the Wind. I have the feeling it is always agains me!
Someone told me in Lofoten that your knees will hurt badly sometimes before you can say that you are a biker. If thats true, this time was my other knee. The problem was exactly the same as in Lofoten. So I guess that we have to pass through this!!!
I got lost 2 times so I am sure that I can easily beat this record considering a good knee as well!
