thanks for the feedback! If you want to track weight lifting in a minimalist app try: www.simpleworkoutlog.com/www.strong.app/ or 5x5 Workout Logger Sadly none sync with ICU but put a feature request on the forum!

Good idea, provided conditions are very similar for the comparison

Interesting question. Providing you start training again there is no reason for fitness to suffer *permanently". The only reason fitness will permanently decline is an irreversible injury or a significant decline in training time/quality. So what I am saying is that you can almost always come back from time -off

Surely impossible to answer unless we know your current level of fitness. For example pros will lose form if they are not putting the hours / kms in. A break of a month for example will see their FTP come down. It's harder to say for an amateur, but it seems to be generally accepted that several weeks with no riding at all is enough to be detrimental to overall fitness.

Hi Curtis, we have this for a future video looking at the physiological differences indoors vs out, but on the question of how differences in riding style translate into effort. Indoors you generally have A. less freewheeling B. less unplanned stops C lower power variation (variability index) D. different pedal dynamics......which means it is a different experience to outdoors. As a rule of thumb the more breaks/rest periods (even if at traffic lights) then the easier the ride of the same total duration. However the link is confounded by the observation than people who ride outside tend to ride further than when riding inside. Fitness is basically correlated with an increased training load which means if you fixed the duration, indoors would likely be better but if you allow a freeride then outdoors is generally a stronger training stimulus (esp if VI is high).

@@Fastfitnesstips Thanks for the reply.

Good shout! I should have mentioned it, but I am having problems locating where it is these days!
