Stats talk.

Focusing on consumer level equipment data vs lab grade data.

I'm a slightly above average cyclist. I like to ride bikes. I'm a below average accountant, and have 95% of a philosophy degree, so I like data and caveats.

Slightly above average... This is by age, gender, and watts, not watts per kilogram bodyweight. I'm working on my weight. This is also comparing users on Intervals.icu, a wonderful website, but populated entirely by sickos. So by power, I'm slightly above the average sicko of my age and gender.

I have a Wyze Smart Scale X for measuring body weight. It reported that I have a body fat percentage of 17.8%. At the testing, body fat percentage was measured using a Seca mBCA, an $8,399 scale, still using electrical charges to calculate body fat. This scale measured me at 19.5% body fat. My weight was the same.

This is a difference of 2.3% or a hair over 4lbs of fat.

Going hand in hand with body fat percentage, the Seca scale reading gave me a "resting metabolic rate". I'm not entirely sure the metric used for their resting metabolic rate and how it differs from BMR, if it differs at all.

The classic BMR calculation, Miff St Jeor, gives me a BMR of 1802, the Katch-McArdle using 19.5% body fat gives me a BMR of 1770. The Seca scale gave me a resting metabolic rate of 1928.

I'm going to continue to eat 1400 kcal of food a day + active kcal burned as reported through my Garmin Forerunner 255, and a stages crank based power meter or Wahoo Kickr Core.

Finally, VO2 max and Max Heart Rate.

Garmin tells me that my cycling VO2 max is 55 ML/KG/Min and my running is 53. In both cases, by age and gender, I am classified as excellent, just a hair under superior on my cycling number.

I'm not a runner, I run occasionally, but it's not my sport and I am not trained for it.

The lab tested my VO2 max using the Bruce Protocol.

I made it 12:30 seconds. I hit 196 BPM and recorded a result of 51 ML/KG/Min.

However, I never hit my VO2 max threshold, VCO2 never met VO2. My calves just started to hurt too much from jogging at a 20% gradient and the technician kept saying "You'll feel like you're suffocating, keep pushing." and that put the idea of suffocation in my mind.

VO2 max tests, like FTP tests, can be trained for. I've got some experience with maximum effort testing, but it doesn't translate very well to running with a mask on your face.

End of the day, 51 as a result vs 53 estimated isn't bad. Garmin's data probably isn't far off.

Finally, my theoretical maximum heart rate is 193 (220 - age). On my own using my Wahoo Tickr X, a chest strap heart rate monitor, I hit a maximum hear rate of 203. In the lab I hit 196 recorded on a similar consumer grade strap from Polar.

Soooooo, what's the point? Have you drawn any conclusions?

Data is fun and I like having it.

The products you have available to you for not a huge amount of money are fine. Even if they're not entirely accurate, they will track improvements and changes.

I should run up hills more.

Don't buy a new Garmin watch to get their made up endurance metric. Measure your progress through performance and how you feel.

Cycling Weekly interview with Seb, January 20 2022

Formula One's Sebastian Vettel on staying off Zwift to avoid letting his 'competitive edge' take over, and future career as a bike courier  by Myles Warwood

found here! (and credit to Matt Bishop for linking to it on twitter)

Formula One and cycling share a close working relationship; it’s not uncommon to see drivers recceing the track, or just getting around, on two wheels instead of four.

There's a lot that cyclists could learn from F1 drivers; "moving up" in the bunch takes on a whole new definiton when it means overtaking at a speed most of us would struggle to maintain in a straight line, not to mention the significance of aerodynamics, quick reactions and handling prowess.

In recent years, the partnership has intensified: Ineos Grenadiers has revealed an aim to emulate the F1 approach through its hire of Race Engineer, Dan Bigham; McLaren had a fleeting partnership with Bahrain before pulling out, Williams F1 was working with Israel Start-Up Nation, and recently BMC and Red Bull have joined forces, too. On a personal level, most cyclists can’t fail to have noticed the burgeoning relationship between Canyon-SRAM’s Tiffany Crowell, and Alfa Romeo-Ferrari’s Valtteri Bottas.

For four-time world champion Sebastien Vettel, training on the bike is a means of building base fitness, as well as getting around; the 34-year-old Aston Martin rider says he discovered quite how hard cycling was when trying to emulate his idols, Jan Ullrich and Lance Armstrong.

“In Germany, Jan Ullrich was very big at the time and his rivalry with Lance Armstrong was so inspirational,” Vettel says.

After reading in Armstrong’s book that 500 watts was the target (though, it transpires, not unaided), Vettel got on board to test out his own prowess: “I think I only lasted about a minute or maybe a minute and a half at 500 watts – my respect for what they can do is huge.”

Born South of Frankfurt in the small town of Heppenheim, Germany, Sebastien Vettel knew from an early age he wanted to race go-karts and emulate one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers there has ever been: Michael Schumacher. He was successful, in 2010 - aged 23 - he became the youngest ever World Champion. After five successful seasons with Red Bull, in 2015 he switched to the red of Ferrari before joining Aston Martin in 2021.

Whilst Vettel is no longer aiming to emulate the stars of cycling, he does put the miles in, in the pursuit of endurance fitness via training in power zones, to aid his driving career.

“Driving a Formula One car is an endurance sport, from a young age I followed a regime which is similar, I suppose, to what I do now, working at intervals to boost my base fitness,” Vettel explains.

The routine which keeps Vettel in fine fettle after all these years is a fairly basic interval session, his bike is set up on a Wahoo Kickr turbo trainer with an SRM power meter. He warms up at around 100 – 200 watts, before working at intervals between 200 and 400 watts.

The amazing thing is Vettel will do this for a couple of hours while stationary on the bike, without any form of visual aid such as Zwift, or even watching a bike race. “I’ve never tried any of these apps, such as Zwift or Sufferfest [now Wahoo Systm]” he says. “I’m really competitive and I think if I start getting involved in them then my competitive edge will take over and I’ll forget the reason why I’m training, it’s not to be fastest on these apps but to be fit enough to drive an F1 car.”

It’s not only indoor cycling for Vettel, though, who has ventured into a mix of cycling types from his home in Switzerland; Vettel has a Cannondale road bike, Canyon Gravel bike a Rocky mountain bike and also a Fixie bike which was made for him by a bike shop owner in Australia.

The rewards for riding a bike for Vettel are the same as for many of us who ride for recreation: “For me riding a bike isn’t about going as fast as you can, the sense of personal achievement you get from cycling is such a huge reward, getting to the top of a climb, it’s the best.”

As for arriving at racetracks, one of Vettel's clear messages this year has been around keeping the world tidy. After the Silverstone Grand Prix, Vettel toured the grandstands with colleagues from the Aston Martin F1 team, litter picking after the fans. This environmental approach has been something of a push in F1 of late, and more drivers are arriving to the circuit by bike. Mick Schumacher, Lando Norris and Vettel have all rocked up by bike at some point, and many riders take to two wheels to check out the circuits as a way of seeing how the track flows.

There are clear benefits for Vettel, outside of reducing emissions and providing a fitness fix. “Riding to the circuits isn’t about getting an extra bit of training in, I find it much more pleasurable than sitting in a car in traffic. Most of the races are in busy cities and if it’s 20 minutes by car in traffic or 20 minutes on a bike – a million times over I’ll choose the bike.”

After Vettel hangs up his racing helmet and reflects on a long successful career in F1, could there be something of a different career for him?

“I’ve always found bike couriers fascinating – I’ve always wanted to do it, the thrill of riding flat out through a busy city, that’s something I love and something I’d really like to do. I’m jealous of those guys!” - imagine having your takeaway delivered, on a bicycle, by one of the world's most successful F1 drivers.

This is my Wahoo bike trainer set-up. I watch Netflix or Amazon and just pedal. I also have the Kickr fan which does a good job providing a cool breeze.

I play a pretty simple game in which I try to gradually increase my avg power every week or two while trying to keep my avg HR below 130 (Zone 2). If I can ride in Zone 2 I won’t run out of glycogen and then the limiting factor is how long my butt can tolerate the saddle.

Movement Patterns to Keep You Pain Free

Let’s talk movement patterns. Movement patterns are the ways you move during everything you do from your normal daily activity to exercise and recreation. Having good motor control and awareness of your body in space, will ensure your movement patterns are things you can do over and over again! We have a huge variety of movement patterns we do day in day out – like bending over for example. We often pick things up from the floor, reach down to that bottom drawer, get down to feed the pets or tuck the kids into bed, without really taking notice of our movement, and so we should. However, if you have back pain, hip or knee pain for example, these things can become particularly tricky. This is where learning about movement patterns is really great! When it comes to getting down low, the hip hinge is an awesome movement pattern to be able to do naturally. So, why hip hinge? The hinge is a movement pattern that promotes good use of our really BIG muscles – mainly our glutes, hamstrings, and core. When we’re using the big muscles in an effective movement pattern, they take the load of the movement and make it really easy for our joints to move – because they LOVE moving! The hip hinge in particular, as implied in its name, promotes great hip movement, which spreads the load across the back, hips and knees – which are all robust joints that can’t wait to be moved and pulled by the surrounding muscles. Well-practiced, the hip hinge makes bending over to lift things up, feeding the pets in the morning and other similar jobs, so much easier and ensures your body is in a powerful position to do the things you need it to do, keeping you at work, in the gym or living life younger, for longer! What does a hip hinge look like and what types of hip hinges are there? The optimal hip hinge should start with your natural upright posture – our body spends a lot of time in this position, so it’s a great place to start and emphasise powerful and athletic positions for your body to be in. Next, you should feel like you’re pushing your butt backwards, with your back staying in the same posture it started in. Great hip hinges normally feel like backwards/forwards movements, as opposed to up/down movements. This is where we should also mention that the hip hinge comes in other forms… The single leg hinge is a great way to promote that extra strength into your posterior chain, improve your balance and get even more hip movement! Starting with a small amount of movement and increasing the range of movement as you gain control and strength is a good place to start in working towards a great single leg hinge. If you’ve ever watched the PGA Tour, take note of how often golfers use this movement pattern to pick their ball out of the hole. What is Lactate Threshold? The body largely prefers the use of oxygen as its major fuel resource. Nonetheless, as workout intensity increases, the body is incapable to uptake (utilize) sufficient oxygen to stay on top of the needs of functioning muscles. In this situation, the body looks to sugar as its power source through a process called glycolysis, in which sugar is broken down into a material called pyruvate. As the body remains to require gas, two alternatives can take place:. If sufficient oxygen exists, pyruvate is reused as well as utilized by the body as an energy source. If oxygen is limited nevertheless, pyruvate is additional broken down into lactate, which permits the body to failure much more sugar. This triggers muscular tissue level of acidity which is a defense mechanism to prevent damage from excessive exertion. There is a typical misconception that lactate threshold is simply the production of lactate. Nonetheless, lactate threshold is the workload at which the body is producing lactate much faster than it can remove it; i.e: it is when muscular tissue activity will certainly begin to be prevented to prevent damages. The effects of this are felt as pain/ lowered power output/ exhaustion by the athlete. As center distance and endurance professional athletes, lactate threshold is an important worth which aids athletes in determining:. Race speed strengths in cardio competitors events. What intensity is required to evoke an enhancement in the lactate threshold curve (just how to increase work without accumulating as much blood lactate). The amount of rest needed in between workout rounds to bring blood lactate below threshold. Accurate aerobic training areas. Lactate Limit Examination vs VO2 Testing. The objective of a Lactate Threshold Examination is to establish the topmost lactate stable state which is defined as the greatest blood lactate focus as well as work that can be maintained over time without a consistent blood lactate buildup. A long accepted gold common measurement of aerobic fitness has been VO2 max, which evaluates the professional athlete's capability to take in oxygen throughout workout. Nevertheless, recently there has actually been proof to recommend that lactate threshold testing is a greater sign of aerobic efficiency and also a lot more sensitive to training adjustments. As trainers, VO2 max values might be a good representation of where an athlete stands in contrast to other athletes throughout the period. Yet, it offers nearly no value in the daily preparation as well as prescription of workout programs. Lactate limit profiling on the other hand, allows trains to suggest training strengths more accurately as well as is much easier to re-assess on a regular basis. Lactate Limit Screening vs Functional Threshold Power Test. The useful threshold power (FTP) stands for the maximum power a professional athlete can sustain for one hour. In today's high efficiency market, FTP is commonly made use of by trains to estimate training areas as well as acts as a wonderful tool for trains that do not have accessibility to lab testing. However, there are 3 major problems with estimate:. Precision of heart price zones-- Heart rate is not a percentage of anything and also for that reason, can not be recognized without taking blood measurements. Equal banding of training areas-- depending on what kind of aerobic training the athlete does one of the most, one training area might be bigger than another. This needs to be identified. As soon as FTP is determined, what sort of training requires to be recommended to boost physical fitness? (quantity or interval)-- If training areas are grouped equally, coaches can not determine which training area needs the most interest. Therefore, an FTP assessment can not precisely information an athlete's cardio profile. Lactate profiling addresses all 3 issues. By taking blood lactate examples together with heart rate as well as work, trainers might determine when various training zones begin as well as match these values to what heart price and work was tape-recorded throughout the test. These worths may considerably enhance the way instructors intend, prescribe as well as most importantly, individualize training programs to get one of the most out of their athletes. What a Lactate Limit Test involves:. Athletes are set up with their bike on the Wahoo Kickr (11 rate; 11-28 cassette), and also a heart rate screen breast band which will certainly be kept an eye on throughout the test. Resting blood lactate focus and also heart rate will certainly be taken prior to the test. Blood lactate will be gauged by pricking the finger as well as transferring a little decline of blood to the portable lactate analyzer. The intensity of the examination begins fairly very easy and also slowly enhances with each 3 minutes stage. At the end of each phase heart price, blood lactate focus as well as rate of regarded exertion is gauged. Stages continue up until 2 stages after lactate limit is accomplished or when athletes are no longer able to preserve the work. What to bring to the test? Bike. Heart rate monitor (optional)
