Considering Fil and Frank have not been attending Wednesday sessions, Molly and I have taken the liberty to "trial" their fancy schmancy Fluid trainer. As I narrated in past......quite a bit tougher.....comparable to tension 3-4 on our Tacx magnetic trainers.
Tonight was a smaller group of three total and Uphill Grind was the pick of the night. The Kinetic just trains pure power....a great workout once Molly and R decided to mount her carbon profile bars.....translated into a solid 20 minute warm-up for me :)
Stats:
1 hr 9 min
144 avg 180 bpm max
In zone 37 min; above 25 min (equals > 155 bpm) and 6 min below
754 Kcal
82 avg and 126 max CAD....hmm this translates into about 10 rpm slower than sessions with Tacx....time to crank up the tension on the magnetic once Fil gets back.....btw Fil....when is that???
Plan: night ski tomorrow night with Shawn so far...Hockey Friday and a little family time inclusive of xc ski with wifey on Sunday :) MMmmmmmm Jac bought reese pieces cups...yum
The Kinetics (and th cyclops fluid 2) are really great trainers - I have one as well.
ReplyDeletePeople tell me though that the rock and roll by Kurt is the one...they have a couple at Joyride - I haven't tried it yet, but the guys that have said it is so much better than a regular trainer - and, it takes much of the stress off your frame.
