TSS? No way! TSSchippz!

Cyclists follow a plan based on certain values. They put their ftp watts, their workout avg watts and then the IF (Intensity Factor) appears (workout watts / ftp watts). From this value you get the TSS (Training Stress Score), a number that tells you how much intense your training was.

However, i didn’t like how those “points” are calculated, so i called my points as TSSchippz (like my nickname).

[Memories] V02max Lab Test

Dear, old, nice memories.
This one is about my first V02max lab test.

V02max is the maximal volume of oxygen you can consume in the single unit of time.

In order to calculate it, you have to do a lab test where you cycle (or run) with an equipment that reads the oxygen you breathe and every other kind of things related.

My test was performed on a cyclette with a fixed wattage.

Watts PB and 2020 Objectives!

2020 is starting soon, it's time to think about objectives and projects.

What objectives will i complete? Will my project be as i'm dreaming them now? Who can tell, but we can start writing this things down here.

However, let's start by the present.

What is Zwift?

Since i am a Zwifter, i must explain to everybody what this is.

Zwift is a virtual game, an e-cycling game to be more precise.
In order to play this game you need an Indoor Trainer (a Smart Trainer is better): it’s an equipment in which you mount your bike on it and you start cycling. Then, this Trainer sends your power imput to Zwift and your virtual character starts cycling at the same wattage you produce!

Welcome! I introduce myselft

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog!

I'm Andrew, a Zwifter.
What is Zwift, you say? Zwift is an indoor e-cycling game. It means that you have to cycle for real, but playing online with other people there (for more info, please read my post about Zwift)!

I'm an italian indoor cyclist and i'm 26 years old (year 1993).
I started with running and athletics, but after years of training, loss and personal bests i wanted a bigger challenge. So i started with Zwift.
