OK so column B is heart rate during a 15 minute effort in which you start at 160W and ramp up to 300W? When do you take your heart rate? Do you ramp up the power at exactly the same rate every time?
Column C is 20 minutes at 120W? Or is that the remaining 5 minutes (getting total time to 20 minutes) at 150W?
Are the rest of the columns (D through N) 10 minutes at the listed rpm? At what point in the interval do you take your heart rate, or is it average?
What does 200 Watts in column H mean?
This is all done in erg mode?
Is "distance" the total distance your velotron says you went, starting with the ramp up all the way through the 10 minute intervals and the cooldown?
Each time you changed your crank length, did you also change your seat position? If so, how did you calculate the required change in seat position?
The HR's recorded is what is at the end of the period, even though I look at the trend.
So column B is the final around what the HR is are the 15 minutes of ramp.
I do the exact same warm up before each test. Start at 160 watts, 10 watts up per minute, last minute is 300 watts. I then take what has been what the HR
has been sitting at the 15 minute point. It takes like 10 minutes before the darn HR strap even starts to measure. :(
I agree my spreadsheet is not very good. I keep changing to try and make better. I had it, until this morning, with time at the top, and RPMs in the results.
I changed since I had different RPM's and thought it might be easier to read that way, but.
So, column B is after 15 minutes. Column C is after 20 minutes from start, which is 5 minutes of, and it should say I think 150 watts, got to fix that after looking at my file again, what the HR was at the end of 20 minutes from the start.
The rest are 10 minute efforts at the RPM listed. You can see for different days, I was testing at different RPM levels. We are now doing 80-40 rpm.
I again take the HR at the end of the 10 minute period, using where it had been sitting for like the last minute.
I updated the spreadsheet. Does it read any better. I put the watts per each time area.
Yep, erg mode
Yep, distance I recorded was total for the time. The first ones were 70 minutes. The latest are 80 minute efforts.
Each time I changed the cranks, I changed the seat. So this morning changed from 175 to 170, and raised the seat 5. Did a quick check and
shoe heal on pedal top with leg fully extended.
