I appreciate being able to go faster for longer muscle-wise now, but my lungs can't keep up. I think that's why I keep hitting my oxygen wall. #cycling #bicycle #mastobikes #biketooter
For any effort longer than a sprint, you’re limited by your ability to deliver oxygen through your bloodstream in order to convert stored energy to usable energy. Power isn’t about muscles, it’s about oxygen delivery.
Sort of. There’s a hyperbolic curve that relates the duration of the effort to power output. Structured training, metabolic pathways and the like are a deep rabbit hole.
First ride in a week due to whatever respiratory illness that was. I couldn't go 100% without feeling sick due to slightly reduced lung capacity, but it wasn't nearly as bad as post-COVID a while back. #cycling #bicycle #seabikes #BikeTooter
