It is still very much doubtful whether SEMIRUNNIY will run the 5k. I think the Chinese guy who qualified is injured but China can put in someone else if necessary. And who knows whether they have some other dude ready somewhere, information from China is not uhm very readily available

intensity depends on your fitness, for beginners it can be as low as 60% of ftp but for top tier endurance athletes it can be well over 80%. Mine is somewhere under 80% but over 75% 

you guys should really read up on it I mean come on it'll be the first result on any search engine and probably less than 3 sentences to read. Not too much to ask

You can't and the real way of figuring it out is a session in the rape lab however if you do high z2 and can sustain it without fatiguing a lot you're on the right track imo because carb consumption ramps up quickly past lt1 so you'll run out of steam rather fast. But focused lt1 training is for advanced athletes anyways, I still do all z2 at the high end regardless because it's just more fun especially outdoors and there's no drawback since I don't ride that many hours and I reckon that goes for all of us.
Just fyi last winter I did some testing out of curiosity where I did 2h at 70% another ride 2h at 76% and another ride 2h at 82% and there was basically no difference between 70% and 76% but a big difference between 76% and 82%, riding over lt1 eats at you so there's no mistaking it. Seiler was right

For me I do my LT1 work around 70-75% of FTP, feels hard but not too hard and I can get 2-3h of time there without too much fatigue. I can pass the talk test but it's definitely not "all day pace" that I can just hammer out without thinking.
I have been thinking about getting a lactate meter for these efforts, usually I just triangulate from RPE / HR / power.

I don't recommend it. 

In all seriousness tho, it was a nice reset. Lost some weight, slept great. Realized I'm probably not an alcoholic because it wasn't hard to do at all. 

I'll do it every year going forward and may consider doing it again in June or so





Just watched Cadel Evans. Brennan is retarded and didn't even shake Andresen's hand, just sulked off. What a bitch. 

Andresen very soulful celebration, will cheer for him going forward

No way they do but you see, standert maneuvered themselves into a corner and got bullied for it so they had to do something. They market their bike as nice and classy but also as a superior crit race machines and even sent them out to the media. The media then of course stated the obvious, how can a frame that is not aero at all and not light be a race machine and social media commenters trashed the brand even further. And this is them reacting to that entire thing













 >>/62094/
they should've just stayed in their lane and never even play the race bike angle or if at all just say > hi yes our bike is nice and oldschool with a new touch and you can even race on it! and sponsor a team maybe but don't lean super hard on that.
Hydroforming frames like specialized would eat too much into their FAT margins















 >>/62115/
Always thought it was about durability and repairability and possibly cheaper (not the case anymore). Like me I never use my cage anymore and do 90% of my travel with the bike a cheaper robust alloy frame is interesting but the market doesn't seem to think that way and prices it for the dental man.

Bęrt I have been doing some research. The only way SEMIRUNNIY can run the 5km is when someone from a country with no replacement runner gets sick or injured. As far as I can see this is only the case for two countries: Austria (FARTHOFER) and Czechia (JILEK). So you know what to do









































Based COQUARD. Not 20 minutes ago the commentators were talking him down.

For me I will be pleasantly surprised to ride outside in April. I don't like to be out below 65 deg lol. I should move out of New England.

Bert is not wrong winter is bad this year, hardest winter of my life. And while we're at the topic of who's softest I'm claiming hardest man in the thread since I rode outside at around freezing. At times it was even wet, humidity-temperature-tip gains pwoah

Its not as much that I'm a coldlet as it is that I'm a cold-gear-let. I love to run/hike in the cold, but I just hate cold weather cycling gear and the combination of getting hot with exertion and the windchill at speed is not my cup of tea. Anything beyond arm/leg warmers and a baselayer shirt is too much for me.


 >>/62168/
> combination of getting hot with exertion and the windchill at speed
it sucks and there is no winning kek you die one death somewhere, you'll either sweat more at one point for freeze more at another and to make matters worse you also can't breathe that well which is my main gripe. Either you are covered up and breathe through cloth which impedes breathing a lot or you breathe cold air which irritates your lungs and throat. So I end up not doing many efforts and just z2. 
All of that is why its only for hardmen, or diamondmen as I like to call us - the hardest of the hard.

 >>/62169/
I have the gear for freezing rides, I've done it several time when the commute demanded it. I wasn't even that cold, but for some reason it is very hard mentally to start the ride.

On the other hand going out for a 35 degree ride feels great. After that the body starts to complain
