Relaxed bike ride and shopping trip... my training diary entry from November 14 2026

_{(I’m not even sure if I haven’t already posted this picture before, but it doesn’t matter. The fact is, I miss going hiking regularly, the way I did last year. Unfortunately, work and injuries have held me back a bit this year, but I hope to be able to get out into the mountains more often again next year.)}

Hi Actifitters,

yesterday’s training session was limited to the 100% version of the "Climb of the Week" on Zwift. Here are my stats:

Duration - 0:45:09
Distance - 13.22 km
Elevetaion gain - 403 m
Average speed - 17.6 km/h
Maximum speed - 73.9 km/h
Average power output - 175 watts
Maximum power output - 274 watts
Average heart rate - 126 bpm
Maximum heart rate - 139 bpm
Average cadence - 82
Maximum cadence - 96
Calories - 454

As you can see, I didn’t overdo it in terms of intensity yesterday. The main reason for this is that, according to Garmin, I’ve slipped into a state of "overreaching" over the past few days. Following a break—due to both a vacation and a cold—my body clearly needs a bit more patience to readjust to sustained, high-intensity exertion.

However, the subsequent shopping trip through the furniture stores felt like an overexertion to me. Over the course of the day, my wife and I covered nearly 10 kilometers. The funny thing is, we didn’t buy a single item that we actually needed. ;)

I’m going to dedicate this Sunday entirely to rest and recovery. I’ll still get my steps in, of course—most likely by going for a walk with my wife. Other than that, I’m actually quite keen to fire up my Nintendo Switch again after a long while; the weather is just perfect for it.
