Great idea! Done!
@emacdoug We started right around the same time on the platform. My first workout was Joyride. Looking back I am surprised how good my 5 and 20 minute power was at the time. I had just been doing lots of outdoor rides along with CrossFit but nothing really well organized.
Just so young, so sweetly naĂŻve.
I know, now.
Joyride was my third ride. Loved it. Really helped hook me.
I think all my years of running helped me getting into riding. I had been doing half marathons. So my cardio level was pretty good. Tho the muscle difference was very evident after my first ride where I had to lie down for 5 minutes to keep from passing out.
After that, the thing thatâs been helped the most once I started doing structured bike training is my 5 min and 1 min power.
And I havenât been running since 2020 and my NM is slowly dropping. I think that may be related.
Downward Spiral 25th February 2010 watched on the tiny screen of my iPod video.
There is always Violator.
@emacdoug Yeah - know that feeling but it didnât happen to me until Violator.
March 4th 2022 (first ever structured training)⌠Cadence builds plus Revolver and Blender in my first week
Getting Started and Half Monty on 9/13/2021.
Was a pel*ton rider (got it used for the wife 2019). Got into their FTP based series of rides, but found there was no real structured training for my outdoor exploita. Debated Z vs. Sufferfest vs. paying for a coach/trainer road. Instantly fell in love with the quirky humor and devastating workouts. 4dp made sense and there seemed to be lots of good energy and a clear direction.
Iâm another one going straight into FF (14/11/2020). I did the âintro to Sufferfestâ 2-week plan, which was supposed to start with HM, but Iâd heard about the âproperâ test and thought Iâd do that instead. Next were GAWI and VDP. Hooked ever since.
Currently on sabbatical in Zwift to save a bit of money, but will be back in November when that runs out. Really miss the workouts, as good as the racing / group rides areâŚ
Nine Hammers! January 2018. Never left since then.
Angels in 2013 and got hooked immediately. I still have all the download videos I bought (= a lot!) saved on my SSD drive and once built a mashup I called âThe Hunted Power Angelsâ. Dunno if it still exists tho, probably worth having a look
âHmmâŚwhere to begin? What will hurt the most?â
Eww, Dame @IsiSchneider_KoS.
Sounds like a GvA special!
Half Monty.
Mine was either a the hunted or revolver, it was a while ago (2010) and I canât remember exactly which one was first. I do remember being hooked immediately!!!
While I was checking the file dates on these videos, I opened up my treasure trove and came across thisâŚ
I forgot I had this so now Iâm going to do it this weekendđ
