Nasty, hows your friends bike shop fairing these days? was he able consider rebuilding it?Originally Posted by fergie .
Well apart from being rather unfit my favourite ride across the hills that surround Christchurch is a little more bumpy than normal.
Good example of how gym work and bike training can differ. Try 120-150 reps all performed in a single minute at say 60% of your one rep max weight or on the bike just go out and establish new power records for 30 seconds or a minute by riding as hard as you can for those durations. That's the kind of stuff that makes riders hurl, if that doesn't get it try doing a set of six or eight such intervals with limited recovery.Originally Posted by jsirabella .
... I have never reached that point even at weight lifting in my prime but wouldn't the legs give way before you need to hurl?
Well... if you don't have a limited recovery time following that effort (ie doing short intervals like 30 seconds on, 30 seconds rest x 12) then don't ease off so fast. I used to find that going from a full out effort to ~just under threshold for about 10 seconds (which feels like a lifetime) helps lots with that. YMMV.Originally Posted by daveryanwyoming .

Personally I've come close to needing the bucket a few times lately by standing up and killing the last thirty seconds to minute of a 1x60 Threshold effort, even 70 to 80 watts over FTP can really make the stomach spin at the tail end of a full hour. But it's funny my stomach is fine while I'm still full throttle, it's the moment I shut it down that I feel like hurling.
Everybody's different, but a lot of folks struggle to keep their breakfast down when doing hard AWC efforts.
YMMV,

Good tip, I'm soooo ready to push that interval stop button and shut it down after riding the final stretch so hard but that makes sense to ramp it down a bit before shutting it down completely.Originally Posted by swampy1970 .

Someone should do a study of Kilo riders to see if massive amounts of oxygen debt really does kill of brain cells.Originally Posted by fergie .
In 1989 on the outdoor Kew Bowl Tony Graham was 4th rider from last and rode 1:06 and got off the bike staggered to the fence and vomited as he collapsed over it. Then it started raining and they said the entire event would be rerun the next morning. 12 hours later he rode 1:06 again and repeated his stagger over the fence spewing as he went down. 2 hours later he qualified 3rd in the Individual Pursuit in a 4:50.
