Garmin Connect – Let’s Talk About SLEEP!

Garmin Connect Has A Sleep Tracker That Can Help You Optimize Sleep and Recovery!

Garmin Connect Sleep Tracker
The Garmin Connect Sleep Tracker provides assessment for sleep quality and quantity.
The Garmin Connect Ecosystem is RICH with features that are either under-utilized or perhaps are misunderstood. I have wanted to explore Garmin Connect with my followers for a while now. I think the Sleep Tracker is a great place to start. Garmin Connect, when paired with any of.....

The Xert “Time-to-Exhaustion, Time-to-Recovery” Garmin Field in REAL TIME.

Today’s Xert Daily Ditty shows how the Xert “Time-to-Exhaustion, Time-to-Recovery” Field shows timer countdowns and count ups, as wattage is generated while cycling.

Not much is going on this week, since I am tapering, but the Xert “Time-to-Exhaustion, Time-to-Recovery” Field will be integral to my 5MMP Breakthrough Effort.

Thanks for watching, and

ENJOY THE RIDE!

OverReaching

OverReaching With Xert

I’m just 10 days out from my “Peak” with the Xert Adaptive Training Advisor and Xert Goals, so it’s important that I push through this period, and OverReach.

An OverReach is about increasing both training volume and intensity, and FOCUSING on the intervals necessary to improve, in this case, my 5MMP power output, to be a true “Breakaway Specialist”.

I slid the “Freshness Feedback” on the Xert Goals window to ’15’, and will perform another 5:00 FOCUS ride today, probably on a wireless trainer.

Don’t forget to sign up for the Webinar that will begin immediately after the 5MMP breakthrough effort, at 1200, GMT – 8, on January 30th. Cost is just $10.99, or you can sign up for the blog at $10 and get all past, current, and future blog posts and webinars. I’ll continue to do this monthly, so let’s learn together!

Thanks again, and ENJOY THE RIDE!

Xert Workouts

Xert Workouts Follow the “SMART” Protocol

Today’s Xert Daily Ditty shows how important a good night’s rest can be, towards helping you continue your path of Progression.

I slept over 8 hours last night. When I awoke, I adjusted the Xert “Freshness Feedback”, and then, using the new Xert Adaptive Training Advisor recommendations, built a workout that addresses my goal for today.

It follows the “SMART” Protocol.

  • SPECIFIC
  • MEASURABLE
  • ACHIEVABLE
  • REPEATABLE
  • TIMELY

Don’t forget to register for my webinar on January 30th, where we’ll discuss the results of my efforts as I pursue this 5 Minute “Breakaway Specialist” fitness breakthrough!

Enjoy the Ride!

ShockWiz Suspension Tuning device- Getting Suspension “Just Right”

Shockwiz Suspension Tuner on a Front XC Sid Fork. Richard Wharton, 2017.
The ShockWiz Suspension Tuning device works with most air-compressed forks and rear shocks. It first came out in 2016, and was purchased by Quarq/SRAM in 2017. The product measures compression, rebound, and 'air time' to help you tune your suspension. For me, suspension has ALWAYS been tricky. My first bicycle with suspension was a
