RE: Ever walked uphill for an hour straight?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

15 bananas is a 15% incline which is pretty insane.

10% is where it starts to get crazy on the tdf - 15% is where you'd struggle to turn the peddles even in a low gear!

Even jogging at that us impressive!

Hill training is defo a good way to break things up!

Is it real though, this incline on a treadmill?
I don't really have a frame of reference, it's all the machine will do.

Pretty hard going at the end, my fave bit is when the sweat starts dripping like clockwork.

Cheers!

I think the rule of thumb is add 1% on for a tread compared to running.

I haven't got a decent sweat on for ages since coming back from my recent inhury.

It's a great feeling being in that zone!

I can't give an IRL equivalent I've never Garmined an hours insane ascent!

The sweat zone is great - like listening to some music that strikes a chord.

The last time I was hill treadmilling I did get it up to 7% at 10KPH an hour but fr very short spurts, like a hundred metres.

I do love this sort of data work out shit! Pottymouth.

Any speed on the gradient is zapping for the legs, I feel like I'm running in sand!

I want to do more data/workout stuff, I think it's just us with interest right now though!
