Xert Daily Ditty – Well, My 5MMP Test Has Come and Gone.

Did I Hit My Goal?

Let’s make February a Month for Breakthroughs!

Thanks for watching, and Enjoy the Ride!

Xert 5MMP

Xert 5MMP – Can I REALLY Achieve A Breakthrough?

I’m just nine days out from my Peak date per Xert. My Xert 5MMP is reading “355”, and it floats between 355 and 357. I rode some 5 minute intervals yesterday and barely broke 302! The Vo2 data is showing that 355 will be a true challenge.

I believe my Xert 5MMP is Achievable, but not as a straight, horizontal average. I’m going to attempt it with my own strategy, which involves “Bank it”, then “Spend it”.

Watch the video and let me know what you think.

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!

 

 

 

Xert Daily Ditty – Interval Targets

Xert Daily Ditty – Interval Targets

Today’s Xert Daily Ditty shows how the Xert Adaptive Training Advisor obtains my Interval Targets.

The Xert Focus Type Recommendation is right at my 5MMP, or current “Breakaway Specialist” wattage value. This is currently at 355 watts.

The Interval Targets just happen to be: 355 watts….. And when I look at my recent breakthrough from Monday, the Power-Duration Curve shows my 5MMP potential value to be….. 355 Watts.
