      CRAZY QUAD FATIGUE

      CRAZY QUAD FATIGUE

      I WAS ON ONE OF THOSE ZOOMIE CALLS and we started talking about what we do.  The facilitator told about a time he came out to visit me and brought his bike...

      ... and had the thrill of a lifetime.

      He'd never ridden on the ragged edge of a hard charging posse.  Apparently, I was quite vocal about pulling through and whatnot...

      ... not the kind of riding he did in his little farm town.

      Well, one of the cats on the call DM'd me for some advice because as he said...

      ...  I have crazy quad fatigue.

      Like a good doctor, I probed.

      How long you been riding?

      A bit last summer, a friend gave me a bike.

      Hmmm, and this "crazy quad fatigue".

      Yeah, I started riding the indoor bike this month and I just can't do it.

      What happens?

      I can only last about 20 minutes.

      Hmmm, does it have a heart rate monitor?

      As a matter of fact, it does.

      What did it show?

      About 160 beats a minute.

      Hmmm...

      Look, I used to have strong quads.  I could squat four times my body weight.

      I'm doing all the calculations.  From what I can tell, he's struggling to push more than 300 watts for more than 20 minutes...

      ... which is a massive effort.

      Well, I think I know what's ailing you?

      Great!

      Yeah, ride easier.

      That went about as well as it goes for most people...

      ... they just can't wrap their helmets around the idea of building a base.
