Chit Chat Ride Training Stress By The Numbers
During yesterdays chit chat group ride from Joyride Bicycles I produced a training stress score of 73. Here is how TSS is figured out mathematically: .57 intensity factor^2 x 2.25 hours x100 = 73 TSS.
How much energy did I use? You don’t need a calorie measuring device to do this. I burned approximately 1100 kcal. The human body stores approximately 350-400 grams of carbohydrate. At 4 kcal/g that comes out to 1400-1600 kcal as carbs stored. Let’s make it 1500 kcal that I store for, arguments sake.
TSS basically represents glycogen usage. So 100 TSS = 100% usage and thus 15kcal, in this example, is equal to 1 TSS (15kcal x 100=1500 kcal). If I take yesterdays chit chat ride TSS of 73 and multiply it x 15kcal/TSS I come up with 1100 kcal that I burned during that ride.

Safety the Google Way
So you’re out riding, for that matter doing anything, and you want your family ect… to know where you are. You want them to know you’re safe. You can use Google latitude on your phone to track your every movement. Your family or friends, from their computer, can follow along and watch as you ride down the highway.

The KAATSU-Master Training System
Testing New Exercise Technique
A new type of weight training that is being developed through a partnership with American College of Sports Medicine and Sato Sports Plaza of Japan. This technique could reduce the stress on athletes and older adults whom have a limit on physical stress that can be applied to the body, such as joint problems.
This technique allows for a reduction of the external loads that need to be lifted from a traditional high load of 80 percent of a person’s strength down to 20 percent while maintaining all the benefits of the high-intensity programs.

Personal Winter Coaching Goals
I got a couple of strength training books the other day. “Weight Training For Cyclist” by Doyle and Schmitz and “Explosive Lifting For Sports” by Harvey Newton. My goal for this winter is to become more knowledgeable on weight training. I also plan on taking the Resistance Training Specialist course from the National Federation of Professional Trainers from whom I have my personal trainer certificate. All this to better serve the athletes that I train. Oh yea, and to fulfill my CEU’s with NFPT and USACycling.

Tonight is the Chit Chat ride at 6 pm from JoyRide Bicycles, 5333 S. 16th (14th & Old Cheney). A “go at your own pace” ride where nobody gets dropped. We will take rural roads around the Lincoln area for the most part. The group might split, into a faster and slower group, but you’ll always have someone to ride with. I’ll personally ride with the slower and/or less experienced group to guide you through the ride. Come and enjoy the fine qualities that Nebraska rural roads offer every Monday at 6pm from JoyRide Bicycles.

I would recommend reading all the links in this article also. Not only do Marvin’s articles relate to cycling/sports but to life in general. Very easy non – technical read on psychology.

Drinking Milk In The Morning May Help Stave Off Lunchtime Hunger
A calorie decrease as little as 50 calories per day can add up in the long run. Americans may be gaining weight at a rate of up to two pounds per year, likely caused by an average of less than 100 calories per day, according to recent research.
