Great video! I am also contemplating running in Tromso this midsummer, but for the half marathon :)

Just getting started with indoor training and really enjoy your content. just the motivation that I need. looking forward to your future videos. Keep up the good work.

your setup is missing a fan, stops u from overheating and u can ride longer

What was your biggest indoor cycling event (how many people)? p.s. Recommendations for good indoor fans are welcome here.🙌

The content you present in your videos is very interesting! However, for better understanding, could you add Polish to the translation? That would be nice. regards, Piotr

Can you provide product numbers from decathlon?😊

Enjoying your intro to Rouvy vids. Have been on FulGaz for years (Zwift before that), and just this morning we all received an email that Rouvy is buying FulGaz. So, I need to learn this soon. Thanks again.

looks awesome but not a big community

Have you tried racing on TrainingPeaks Virtual yet? I much prefer it over the other platforms and it is much cheaper than Zwift

Who's also training for a marathon this year and WHERE?🙌

great video and editing :) excited to see the journey! Congrats on the content

You got to fluff your plant, dude. The leaves are all up for shipping purposes. Spend about 15 minutes arranging leaves and that plant will look spectacular...... for a fake plant... I mean, you put it in the video, so there's my two cents, LOL. I just started Rouvy myself.

Good luck, Dom!

Pure pain

I have that same table. Works great and looks good

Keep cycling bro! It’s the best. Perhaps we can have a ride on Zwift soon?

How do you do this ?

Been enjoying your cycling journey, keep it up :)

First

how much did decathlon pay you for this obvious advert?

Really helpful Video! And you seem like a cool guy. 😮☺️ thank you so much

when getting into this sport let me tell you... you dont need the shoes, you dont need the table and lastly you dont need a brand new bike for indoor cycling so to keep the costs down this is the way to go.

When you start riding, the image is very jerky - is this because you are streaming? This would be a show-stopper for me.

More movement = more happiness. Simple as that. Years back, I used to spend end of the year with drinks, but last year I realised the beauty of just being myself and enjoying time with friends doing what we love. I don’t judge anyone else drinking or doing whatever… I’m just grateful for my own journey that led me to this place where I feel the best. Enjoy your New Year’s Eve too!🙌 #newyearsrun #friendsoverdrinks #activehealthylifestyle #winterrunning #winterhiking #snowrun #healthiswealth

The Ramp Lite is designed for people who weigh 70 kg or less. The incremental increases are 10 Watts every minute. You should have used the regular Ramp test which increases by 20 Watts every minute, until failure. This information is available on the Rouvy website.

Well done! To increase your performance you can add a cooling fan’👍🏻

love the videos!

Have you ever racing indoors? I highly recommend it as a high intensity training stimulus (and for lots of fun)! TrainingPeaks Virtual is by far the best platform for RACING and until March, it is FREE 🎉 So super easy to just give it a try

Dude! You're not supposed to complete the ramp! This one most likely underestimated your FTP. Pick the other, harder ramp test next time, or do the classic 20 minute test.

Get a big fan that moves a lot of air. You will do better.

Your fit looks extremely stretched out. Even if you were a racer, this looks weird. You should have bent elbows when your hands rest on the mid part of the hoods. Try moving the saddle forward a bit (and up to compensate) but you may also need a shorter stem. Also, make sure both of your axles are the same distance off the ground (the front axle looks higher than the rear in your setup video).

Just wanna say that dont fully trust the ramp test. You can use it as reference at first but the "real" FTP should be your 20 minute effort multiplied by 95%. Your video are wonderful, Keep goin'

Shouldnt the indoor trainer adjust the resistance automatically? You shouldnt be able to push more W than it sets

Norwegian watching here, not bad pronunciation 😅

I was excited about the video until you pulled out chatgippitty

Great job man supers effort for a first FTP. 👏Next time would recommend doing the regular not lite so you can really find your max because with this one you finished the whole thing whereas in the ramp test you should go till failure. Just a recommendation not trying to be mean.

Good job man, keep the videos comming 💪💪

You need to do the 20 mins FTP test to calibrate your zone.

Decathlon is amazing, ive got this trainer and been using it for the last week or so with Rouvy

Glad that you are enjoying Rouvy. A few tips to help your experience (level 84) Join events (race and group rides) as these tend to give you more coins and experience than just completing the same route on your own. Races and group rides also allow the drafting benefit, however group rides don't add your activity to any challenges you may have joined, nor do they attach to any of the Strava segments. As your coins increase don't just buy the first available bike or wheel set. Items have 1 to 5 stars based on weight and aerodynamics (5 is best). At the moment the best all-round bikes, with 4 stars weight and aerodynamics are the Trek Gen 8 Madone, Liv Langman, Baldiso and the Specialised Tarmac - with the Tarmac generally giving a few seconds advantage over the rest. As for wheels - for your first purchase i would suggest saving for "Lightweight Obermayer" as these are 4 stars weight and aero. The disk wheels are great if only riding flat routes - but not for any hills. example based on Lake como at 2 w.kg average with no drafting. Tarmac + Cadex aero disk 42.29 Tarmac + Lightweight Obermayer 44.16 Rouvy bike + Cadex 42 46.31 so almost 4 minutes difference based on the same w/kg power output. If you search Google for "Rouvy Analyser" you will find a website which allows you to search a specific route then add some key metrics such as weight, ftp, expected average power output then select the bikes and wheels that you have available and click [analyse]. The site will then workout the best combination for that route. As your experience grows - the climbs get much easier. This morning I joined the weekly Sunday morning hill race (colle del Nivolet) and throughout next week I have set myself the challenge of riding 7 mountains that will appear in the 2025 TDF (starting with Hautacam tomorrow and Ventoux on Tuesday). ------------------------------------ Race tip. start pedalling as soon as the 54321 countdown timer starts and at the final second put down as much power as you are able to (without actually sprinting) for the first 30 seconds or so. Getting in to the lead group or close to the front as soon as possible makes life much easier as you get the drafting benefit. If you start slowly - then that lead group will never be caught if they get too far ahead. The busiest race events. Any that mention "Muckers", "GRC" and the official Rouvy races. Tuesday and Thursday 7pm GMT and Sunday 9.15am for Muckers or 3.15pm Sunday for GRC are consistently the busiest races with the GRC usually being a short flat race.. hope this helps

Are you a team Zwift or ROUVY? Let's share your WHY.👇

5:57 you left him hanging ._.

For first month You can use code: AMY. You will get one free month on Rouvy ;)

unfortunately the service at some store is really really bad. Price however is great.

would you say D100 is sufficient? I wanted to make sure and ordered the kickr core, since it is able to handle more watts

i have the same frame but in blue version :) my kickr core will arrive soon.

Here’s a few small tips I can share as a “experienced” indoor cyclist : 1. Add a big towel on the handlebar to prevent the rust or sweat corrosion on the handlebar (only you’ll know when remove your bar tape) 2. There’s a lot more others apps / games for indoor (Zwift , Mywhoosh etc) so you can try on your own and enjoy! 3. Get some snacks on side just in case if it’s too boring for whole day cycle. 4. Enjoy indoor ride ! Open your window or add a fan (someone mentioned) will be way more better to avoid overheating. Hope you love indoor cycling as I’m doing it only for winters!

That was great watching you on your first rouvy ride. Add a cooling fan if you don’t want to turn your living room into a swimming pool 😅

great video! i'm also starting to take cycling more seriously so it was really cool seeing how you're getting started. good luck on the rest of your journey! subbed :)
