Last Friday, Jan and myself participated at a workshop about practise endurance, well at an Indoor Cycling Course. It was organized by Gwenda Rüsing and Harald Friedrich from Mainz members of the new “ Black Tusk Racing by to Motion” MTB team.
And because of the fact, that I knew both of them and that we sometimes exercise together, we decided that we should participate at it. But don´t worry, we´re staying “ Pirates”.
First you had to listen to a lecture about endurance training, nothing really new to me, because I ride for such a long time, but it won´t hurt to listen, when you hear, that you obvisiously did everything right.
Afterwards was the practical part. Everybody recieved a pulse belt and you could watch your parameters on the screen..
Your pulse zones were tested before or estimated, as well like your highest pulse and your resting heart rate. Than we could start in the green zone ( basic) and later you rode some intervalls…
Even though noone believed Jan, that he got such a high pulse, he had the highest pulse of all of us with 208. But sadly he did not recieved a trophy for that, but afterwards a dinner and a beer.
