Thank you! Can I ask you a question, though? How "MAX" is your "max outs" for the airbike intervals? My pace is more like "Whatever I can survive for NN sec"Train_Hard_Live_Easy wrote:Good man....... these type of intervals made a big impact on my training.Barkadion wrote: Indoor AirBike Intervals

First time is hard to gauge the effort required...... it cannot be an all out- sprint, like a 20s all-out effort..... I do similar to your pacing, work as hard as I can for the time required [RPE of 8 - 9.5]...... after than interval, I make a note of the calories hit on the monitor, and then on the second interval I try to beat it....Barkadion wrote: Thank you!

Great points! I have AD6 as well but I never look into calories at all.. I have to take your approach from now on! I just want to bring it up to 2min and go from there. I keep log spreadsheet and I can put the calories there in the dedicated column.

If I beat it, then I am working harder.... if I don't get anywhere near it, then I aim to match it or get as close to that initial reading as possible [hope that makes sense]
We have an Airdyne Model 6..... the calories are our favoured measurement on the AD. [It is 'affectionately' known as the Hell-Bitch in our training facility, no idea why, I quite like the beauty
I keep a note of the cals hit throughout and the next time I have an interval session planned, I have a way to gauge my efforts.
I also aim to have a HRM on as well, and when I examine the app on my phone in the rest period, it gives me a reading [% of HR Max and actual reading].... it's typically right UP there
Hahaha, Thank you!!Train_Hard_Live_Easy wrote:Anything North of 40 cals in the 2 minutes is good going
I'm usually at mid 40's, especially with a good amount of rest......but if the rest is shorter [1:1 ratio], then I am happy with a 40+ on cals in a 2 minute work interval.
Enjoy matey.
