#Wahoo Kickr Smart Bike

[trapringtones]

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.

What bike to purchase to use with a smart trainer?

I very much want to do indoor biking over the winter (with Zwift or Systm or something like that), and I tried the Wahoo trainers recently at a bike expo and was really impressed.

I'm leaning toward the direct drive models (the Kickr and the Kickr Core) but I'd need to buy a bike to connect to it. (for various reasons, I don't have access to my own bike over winter, and I have a hybrid anyway) They seem to be designed to work with road bikes, and I can't afford to spend $3000 on a bike for this.

Do y'all have suggestions on what bike I could get specifically to use with a Wahoo trainer (or other smart trainer if you feel strongly something else would be better)? My thought is that I'd just leave it attached permanently so I could ride in my basement year round when the weather doesn't permit outdoor riding.

West Highland Way: Rab Wardell's Record Attempt

Stretching from just outside the hustle of Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, to the iconic highland town of Fort William, the 95 miles (153km) West Highland Way is a world-famous, multi-day traverse loved by walkers from around the world.

What is less well known about the route, is that a hardy band of mountain bikers have been vying for record times along the way for the last 10 years. Riding “the way” in its entirety is a notable accomplishment - it boasts a meaty 10,351ft of climbing, and parts of the terrain involve carrying, rather than riding a bike. 

This adventure has been on Rab Wardell’s mind since he first walked the route in 2007 as a recently retired 22-year-old professional mountain biker. In 2011, Wardell undertook his first attempt, completing the route in a 12.15hr, in 2012, he bettered that by going sub 12hrs - a major personal milestone. A few years later this record time was broken by Steve McInnes with an 11:30. Then in 2015, Scottish Endurance legend Keith Forsyth set a new fastest time of 10:27. Rab began thinking about trying to win his record back in 2019 and had concluded that a sub-10-hour time would be his aim, besting Forsyth’s time. To everyone’s shock, Fort William rider Gary McDonald then set a blistering 9:28 across the route in early August. 

Training through the pre-pandemic winter, aided training technology from Wahoo including the KICKR Smart Trainer. Rab was spurred on by girlfriend Katie Archibald's inspiring efforts leading into the now postponed Olympics. Despite setbacks, Rab achieved his aim and has openly encouraged others to attempt the record, all while experiencing such a soul-edifying route through his beloved homeland. 

How long his record will remain intact is an open-ended question; even completing such an extreme human endeavor could be considered a victory no matter what - but for this hardy group vying for records, there will always be more on the line than simply finishing.
