Just a 30 min. ride to see whether my sit bone could handle an in door ride after yesterday's ride. Similar numbers to yesterday's numbers.
It occurred to me that a lower cadence due to a larger gear and thus a faster speed would equate to a higher power output (high 160s to low 170s today) which should probably leads to a higher consumption of calories burned.,
So why then did my calories burned go down (1,151C vs 1,360C)?
My pass was faster; 03:02 vs 03:07 min/mi.
My distance was greater; 10.00 vs 9.64 miles.
My time was longer; 00:30:27 vs 00:30:09.
My avg speed was greater; 19.7 vs 19.2 mph.
My avg HR was higher; 136 vs 148 bpm.
Also, how does the Garmin calculate calories whether on an inside ride without the wind's resistance or help or on an outside ride? And is there a consideration for elevation gained/lossed during a ride? Or does it even matter?
Perhaps, this is why training with power levels the field because watts produced isn't affected by these various data fields.
And more importantly, why does Jimmie not comment and fill in these seemingly endless questions?
MXS: 22.0 mph.
