Using Ergometer LOAD vs. % SLOPE for DFAA-1 Base Training
The Road to 300 Watts FTP
Right Now, It's NOT about 300 Watts; It's About Raising LOWER THRESHOLD
The goal of base is to train the body for Economy. Stamina is the fundamental Pillar for Polarized Training. When you train using DFAA-1, you can get a clearer picture of how your body is responding to the training. Wattage and traditional heart rate becomeThe Heart KNOWS Best.
DFAA1 With the Help of FatMaxxer and Garmin Connect Sleep Leads to a GREAT RIDE!
My economy is up, my heart rate is down, my weight is down, and my power is up. SmO2 is also tracking, and I’m starting to adapt.
I know none of this is new, but I do enjoy blogging the approach and the process.
Here’s today’s post-ride summary. Let’s kep the trend going.
Thanks for reading, and ENJOY THE RIDE!

Bouncing Between DFAA1 0.75 and 1.00 for Optimal Fat Burn and Aerobic Base Improvement
Having the FatMaxxer Android software on-screen in realtime has brought a new element to my base training. I use the screen to try and keep my intensity between DFAA 1.00 and 0.75. The advantage to this is that I can trust the fraction, more than I can trust the actual heart rate. Furthermore, looking at my power and Vo2max, I was able to keep the value below 40ml/kg/min, averaging about 35ml/kg/min, and I watched my Tidal Volume from the Vo2master, stay around 4.0 liters/breath.
I’m going to focus on economy and aerobic foundation. This is going to be FASCINATING!
