it feels very fitting to do Fight Club on the (almost) day the ToS route is announced, as the first time I did it was in last year’s ToS. At the time I was very new to Suf (1 month), but had done 3 months with _another app_.

I looked up on Strava to review profiles and compare. It’s exciting to see the improvements in the last year, which I owe to using Suf/Systm.

Red is then, Green is now. Some amazing highlights:

- no more micro-breaks where I cracked and stopped pedalling (you can see the power line drop to the floor in the top one)

- much smoother heartrate and control; average HR 5 bmp lower, while max was actually higher

- higher max power (while 20lbs lighter) but even more importantly HIGHER MAX CONFIDENCE – I did today’s ride at 104% of my latest 4DP test, enjoyed the ride, and FINALLY got the joke about all the attacks being the same (I was always chewing stem so I didn’t notice it’s about the footage).

That’s bloomin’ brilliant. A much smoother cadence profile too, and the lack of drops in power where you didn’t crack are great.

Congrats!

@rinaf Great improvement, Rina!

I did the same workout earlier today, and had good intentions to check if the footage was identical. I kind of got distracted looking down at my feet willing them to keep spinning.

I missed the first attack (too busy staring at numbers), but can confirm that the rest are the same.

Changed it to -∞, as there’s too much talking about Fight Club.
