    12-3-30-Treadmill Survey Request

    In 2014 I published “Summit Success: Training for Hiking, Mountaineering, and Peak Bagging” based on 8 years of my own training, with the generous input of several hundred of my most loyal social media followers. The Incline Treadmill Workouts were the most favorably received, and the best logistical choice for my readers, so in 2018 I created “Rucking Simple Treadmill Training Program” an introductory manual to building your own Weighted Backpack Incline Treadmill Workouts. These two books have been my perennial best-selling books since they were each released. I guess I’m not that up on social media viral sensations, especially on TikTok, so I had to receive a Google News…

    How-to Do a Custom Workout in Zwift Cycling (redo)

    Yesterday I did a custom cycling workout in Zwift. I made one mistake. I put my headshot insert in the corner where the workout file went. Well Drat. So I did a new workout today and here you can watch these simple instructions for how to do it yourself. Again, no training principles, just a good solid hour off Zone 3 with a warmup and cooldown. Hang tight and I’ll show you how to build your own workout to help you achieve your training goals. Powered by WPeMatico

    How-to: Custom Cycling Workout in Zwift?

    Do you need to create your own custom cycling workout in Zwift? Let’s try it together. It’s my first time too. I had shoulder surgery so need to cut my watts down to a nice steady hour at 145 watts. I don’t know what that is for my w/kg or FTP% but it turned out to be just into Zone 2. Nice. Don’t miss my little bit of outtakes at the end. Powered by WPeMatico

    How to Batch Import from Runcline to Stryd Power Center (and fix a couple of Training Peaks files)

    This took way longer than needed, but hey, I got it done. First of all, Runcline App does not auto-export to Stryd so I had to get all those from my emails and wonder of wonders, Stryd allows a batch import. Check that out! Then I fixed a couple of overlapping files in Training Peaks that were pushed by Stryd which turned out to be a real bear. Prepare for the frustration. Later I’ll show you how to upload all the Runcline files into their associated Training Peaks files. Powered by WPeMatico

    Runcline App First Test with Stryd Footpod and Zwift Running

    Due to unsolvable issues connecting my Stryd footpod to Zwift Running to my Win10 PC via ANT+ I decided to try the Runcline App in my iPad. Runcline acts as a Bluetooth Bridge between the footpod and Zwift. Sadly that requires me to use another Bridge – in this case the Zwift Companion App on my Android phone. Whew! What a mess. But that at least allows me to gather up the full range of Stryd statistics, such as ground contact time, etc. that are normally missing from Zwift exports. It also allows me to gather incline/elevation gain data that are very important to my training. So I installed it,…

    Japanese Skyrunning Event Completed in 2020?

    Amazing. Simply amazing. Wish I were there. When they canceled the Broken Arrow this past summer (for “reasons”) I was nearly devastated. Totally lost a lot of my drive and motivation. Previous to that I was on my training program, starting to become the best me possible and shooting for an Age Group placement, which I would have had in 2019 if I were a week older. Anyway, here’s a link to the story, courtesy of our really good buds over at the big FB:   Powered by WPeMatico
