FAQ
Who is it for?
A better pedaling technique will not make you faster or stronger than you are now. Improving your pedaling technique will make your movement smoother, more harmonious and more efficient, so you will need to expend less energy to maintain your current speed and power. As your pedaling technique improves, your other metrics will improve faster.
How do I use the application?
Using the app is very easy.
Select a cadence or power value that you feel comfortable with and perform a 10-minute workout. Repeat this workout twice. Make sure you do not deviate from your selected cadence or power value and try to improve your pedaling quality. After three uses, the app will use your data to suggest a workout for you based on your data. You can turn on the 'suggestions' feature and monitor the data displayed there.
How can I create a personalized training plan?
If you want to create a training plan for yourself or with your trainer, this is also possible.
The important thing to remember is that the app offers two basic functions. The training function is designed to improve quality. The general evaluation function models how you would perform on the road and gives you feedback on your progress.
We recommend following two simple rules.
Rule 10/1: After ten training sessions, it is advisable to run the overall assessment to check your progress regularly.
Development rule: For each subsequent training session, you are free to decide whether and by how much you want to increase your time, speed, power, or quality. It is important that you only change one value at a time.
You can plan your training sessions by using or modifying the power or heart rate zone training.
How do I get started with the app?
Do your first workout with the RPM data and do it for at least 10 minutes. If you can reach at least 85%, try a higher RPM or POWER value or a longer workout.
What is the ideal training volume?
The ideal training time depends on your level of fitness. It is recommended that you start at a lower RPM or POWER setting and for 10-15 minutes and then steadily increase the workload. Be sure to include rest days as well.
How can you use the app alongside your current training plan?
The Bikepedalling app can easily be integrated into any other training plan.
You can use it to warm up at the beginning of an indoor training session (10-15 minutes).
You can use the app to practice pedaling technique before your workout (20-25 minutes).
You can use it to finish your workout (10-15 minutes).
You can also create custom solutions and use the program as a standalone workout.
Use RPM or power data?
When you are just starting to use the app, we recommend training based on RPM data. If you achieve results above 85%, switch to power measurement.
Do I use the app outdoors or indoors?
The Bikepedalling app is currently suitable for indoor use. Indoors, pedaling errors are much easier to see and correct than outdoors.
How can you improve?
Choose a speed or power value that you feel comfortable with and try to maintain it for as long as possible. Make sure that both feet move simultaneously and evenly. Apply the same force with your feet at all points on the pedal circle. Constantly increase your speed/power, the duration of the exercise and your quality.
