Just wait until you get to his EPO rides. They crazy!

Not gonna lie it kind of makes me want to do epo does anyone want to start a peloton epo ring

I may know some former dopers that might have connections. You'll probably get banned from live rides though.

Really like adding on a 10-minute climbs to all my rides.

I'm almost to the century mark... any ride suggestions?

Kendall's recent metal rides are insane

I did this ride a while back and it completely kicked my butt. Definitely a good way to get after it in a quick period of time!

That was fun as hell although I did cuss at Matt more from a motivational "IM RIGHT HERE ***** I AINT GOING NOWHERE MUTHER****ER" lens

Were you doing the 90 min PZE for the PZP challenge? I did that one Wednesday evening, and while it was tough, it was mostly the mental side. The zone work was manageable, but it was just the length of the intervals that taxed my (short) attention span to stay on my target output.

I accidentally picked a regular 60-minute power zone ride instead of the PZE ride I intended. Will not make that mistake again.

I did that the other day...was planning to do a 30 min PZE ride as a nice recovery after a couple of days of harder rides. My wife came in and started talking while I was picking which class to do and distracted me. When I started riding what I thought was going to be a nice relaxing 30 mins in zones 2 & 3, suddenly I hear Olivia start talking about how much time we will be spending in zones 4, 5, & 6. By the time I was finished, I figured my recovery idea was wrecked, so I went ahead and stacked another 30 min PZE ride on the end just because...

yeah it was really the mental part of it all. i did experience the heart rate creep that wilpers talked about, but towards the end i had enough to get up to zone 4/5 to end the thing.

Yeah, I had enough left to push harder for the last 5 mins also. Thinking about retesting FTP during the recovery week.

What app or how are you getting that chart?

One thing I noticed this morning accidentally was my PR for my 75 min ride is 911, and my PR for my 60 min ride is also 911. I probably took the 75 min ride 8-12 months ago, but I posted because it just goes to show that consistency and power zone training does in fact work.

Have a great Saturday everyone.

MPaceLine app. If you pay for a cheap subscription, it will overlay the PZ targets on the graph. I just didn't do it for this one because the targets were slightly off.

Here is one with the targets shown.

I did that one this morning. Those 90 minute operations are mentally challenging more than physical. I say let's party and have a 90 POWER ZONE ride. Throw in a little sweet spot recoveries. Sounds...horrific.

Speaking of horrific, has anyone seen the PZ ride he came out with last week? I saw the preview and it sounds ****ing terrible

My parents are in town and my dad wanted to try a PZ ride (he's a cyclist but does not have a Peloton) and he ended up picking one of the 30 minute Power Zone Max rides from Dennis ... need to try it myself, but talk about jumping into the deep end. I do wish that Peloton let you sort the rides by Difficulty in the filter settings (at least in PZ).

Also, being able to sort for specific areas for both Stretching & Yoga would be a game changer for me. Those hip-focused classes are an absolute must-do.

You CAN sort by difficulty, but it's the collection of everyone's post-ride feedback, so take that for what it's worth.

Doing the Wilpers 90-minute PZE from 8/3/19 at 630am before church tomorrow if any want to join!

Well I'm not sure if I did that ride or vice versa but a buddy joined me who is an absolute machine (Trey I want y'all two to face off), he averaged 250 watts for 90 minutes for a total of 1363 pelotons or whatever the units are called.

Anyone else doing the 5pm ride with Denis today?

A buddy and I had the hilarious idea of doing Christine d'Ercole's Haleakala Challenge on July 11 if anyone would like to join. It's 5 60-minute climb rides done in a row, based on her heart rate and cadence data from when she actually rode her bike from the beaches of Maui to the summit of Haleakala.

I have done 2.5 hrs indoors before but that was with a few breaks to step off and walk for a few mins. 2 hrs nonstop is prob right at the limit of what I want to do indoors.

i've done some really stupid crap on a computrainer and on a wahoo. 3 hours plus 7 days straight (two years in a row) and a 24 hour two person relay with the wife (all fundraisers), but i don't think i could stay on a peloton for 2 hours.

finally got back on the peloton today after a long time, but the rain kept me off the mountain bike. Will likely be riding for the next few days until things dry out, unless i get on the road bike.

I added the hashtag, but not really sure what it does.

i've driven up that thing, and ridden down it, but would really like to go back one day and do the climb. It is brutal.

the hashtag just lets you sort the leader board so you can see other people on with that hashtag

You can filter the leaderboard to only show #texasaggies. It will also show you anyone that's currently riding with that hashtag. Nothing amazing, but nice to see other Aggies riding.

dont' really pay too much attention to the leaderboard anyway, but guess its good to have the option.

So here is what I have been doing lately. I do my challenge rides pretty much as scheduled. during the other days, I take a 10 min arms strength class + 30 PZ class (for my AC or EC challenge classes) + 10 min arms strength class + 5 min stretch.

I am not really a fan of Alex's rides, but his arm strength classes are fantastic. I really like the way he goes about them and the exercises he does. I have not taken one of his rides in a long time, but I remember it being one of those rah rah classes. Not really my thing, but perhaps I might give him another look.

Does anyone have any thought's on Alex?

I think he's very good looking, but I haven't taken a class of his in a while because I pretty much stick to Power Zone now.

Hopped on a Denis Morton ride bc 2 #texasaggies were riding and it was the ride I did for my 100, so I got another shout out. Fun way to start my Wednesday.

That class was ride #2 in this week's challenge rides, so I got to hear your shout out for the 2nd time last night too. "Dr Beer...paging Dr Beer!"

I primarily ride with Emma or Denis, but love Alex. I think I PR with him most of the time. He's more intense and gives you "free style" time when I typically push myself tougher than I would otherwise.

I plan to start Power Zone training one day and will miss his rides.

I think the pro athletes like him, and he was the trainer for that race on ESPN.
