Where Cyclists and Triathletes get Faster/Stronger/Leaner/Sooner
Today I’m building a workout, first through Excel, then through the Xert Workout Builder, to create 5 by 1-minute intervals, to help me visualize the average power necessary to achieve a breakthrough. I’m trying to program surpassing 356 watts over 5 minutes.
Here’s the link:

Enjoy the ride!
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.
Enjoy the ride!
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!
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.
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 Rankings Give You An Idea of Where You Stand Amongst Your Peers
After a great weekend of cycling outdoors, I ended up with an unexpected guest (and friends), which led me to a lot of stress and no sleep.
SO, I am sliding the Freshness Feedback bar to the left, WAYYY Left, and I’m looking at different parameters today; namely, “Rankings”.
