    Ich schaffe ähnliche Werte auf dem Rollentrainer, allerdings nur im Stehen. Im Sitzen sind sehr schnell die Beine zu. Fährst du besondere Einheiten für die Muskulatur oder machst du Krafttraining, um so viel Leistung im Sitzen zu erbringen? Trainiere bisher nur mit Eigengewicht (Kniebeugen etc.) Vielen Dank und starke Leistung!

    starke leistung
    direkt zu beginn >350 watt average
    kann ich solche wattzahlen auch mit einer "normalen" Übersetzung z.B. 52-14 oder -13 treten?
    bei einer solofahrt fahre ich in solchen gängen mit 80rpm gerade einmal um die 200 watt

    The higher and more prestigious the league you're in, the fewer cheaters there are, because athletes have data records of their indoor and outdoor performances. Additionally, dual recording is required, along with verified measurements of height and weight.
    This might come across as a harsh comment or piece of advice, but if you want to improve, work hard on your "aerobic threshold." The best riders can ride at 4 W/kg in the zone 2, and their bodies recover during that time. For you, it’s still a significant energy effort. Consider going for performance testing to determine your aerobic threshold. Then, focus on steady rides of 1.5 to 4 hours at a pace about 10-15 watts or 2-5 bpm below your aerobic threshold. This will significantly improve your VO2 max, and riding hill KOMs at a pace under 1 minute 40 seconds won’t be an issue anymore.
    I’m not the best in the world, but with an aerobic threshold of around 3.9-4.1 W/kg, I can ride a 1.5-hour race with an average power above 5.0 W/kg or sustain 5.4-5.7 W/kg for 20 minutes during a race. Ride On!

    • @volkervoit
      @volkervoit  Місяць тому +2

      Thanks, my current power at Zone 2 HR is around 3,6 W/Kg considering I weigh 75-77KG I am quite happy with that, I can ride at 315-320 watts for over 2h in races before running 21km. I’ve done multiple performance tests (lactate LT 1 around 250watts and LT2 around 320 and VO2 - currently around 70) I know I could improve my short efforts with specific training but as I am still focusing on long distance triathlon and ultra cycling I train a bit differently. But maybe something for next winter 🙌

      @@TSbiker10 I said that there are many people better than me, but I finished the Polish e-sports championship in the top 10 and the mountain championship on the podium.
      E-sport puts a lot of strain on the nervous system and as a typical climber, I have too little power for 15 seconds, 30 seconds or 1 minute.

    hard race but dont take it serious until you need to update weights before a race as weight doping, data mining weights on garmin data to zwift showed a huge error/cheating by riders.

    • @volkervoit
      @volkervoit  Місяць тому

      In generally I agree, but I do feel that there is much less weight doping in Cat A and high level races as they are more monitored and some require weigh in videos plus people in these races know each other more often and would point out someone who is blatantly cheating

    Think yu`re a bit optimistic about a-cheats. 2 of 3 at this podium are cheats. 1 got removed. AR MM is still in at second but known cheat + plenty others.
