NLU Peloton Thread - Weekly Ride: 30 minute 2010’s Hip Hop Ride with Ally from 7/25/24

To add, I have an extra calibration set if anyone wants me to mail it to them.

First FTP test! Interestingly, I had estimates for FTP zones showing up prior to the test and this actually moved my zones down a few points. At least I have a baseline and can see progress in the future!

Redid the Alex ride tonight - 10% drop off from the last time. Live rides really change my energy level.

PSA: Olivia has a 30 minutes Guns N Roses ride from a couple days ago. Propelled me to a new PR.

My nomination for ride of the week is Ally’s HIIT and Hills ride from 1/27. I really like the class format of having both HIIT sections and climb sections. I also really enjoy classes with Ally, and I have only seen a little talk of her classes in this thread so far. Alex, Ally, and Cody are my personal top 3 of favorite instructors. If you like this class format, Alex has the same style class from the same date that is really good.

Finally caught up on last weeks group ride. New PR for output!!

I find doing the warm up/cool down rides before/after these classes has been great for recovery :slight_smile:

I hate you right now, I just did a 20 minute HIIT ride with Ally today and then you drop this on me. I guess I know what I’m doing tomorrow.

Just did my first ride with Matt tonight. Just tabata ride. He seems like he is into the science and is a cyclist not just a trainer

Just took the weekly ride and I’m definitely not going to make any new friends this week with the selection. It’s a great workout though!

Oh man, I’ve been on a Peloton for just over two years - - - right now I’m in the middle of a 6 week power zone plan (I’m a PZP’er) and finishing up the Ander Speers weight program so I don’t have room for extra group rides - - - but I’m definitely jumping on this later this spring for motivation. #GrindtiliFindit

Yeah, MW is very much a cyclist, he music choices are pretty bad, BUT . . . in terms of learning pedal efficiency, technique, etc… he has been the most helpful coach. I’ve ridden Power Zone with him since spring '18 and it helped my fitness out a ton.

Yea the music and him trying to dance to it, made me laugh. Not everyone can be Alex, which is fine. Find your niche and use that to motivate the riders. MW has me intrigued though so i will be doing more rides with him.
