A Look at My WHOOP Data During Fietselfstedentocht 2023

May 31, 2023 - Willem L. Middelkoop

This Monday I completed 235KM on my fixed gear bike during the Fietselfstedentocht 2023. It was a nice ride with fair weather and favourable wind conditions. Yet, I took the challenge seriously and prepared myself with some proper training. In this post I'll have a look at the trend data from my WHOOP in preparation for the Elfstedentocht.

Last few months I picked up the pace, taking on more "strain" (that is WHOOP-parlance for 'training effort')

Training on a non-electric cargo bike! The kids love it! No need for fancy GARMIN head units: WHOOP can track your workouts on any vehicle.

... as a trained cyclist this ride data is not good: heart rate of 180BPM at an average speed of 22KM/h - this is 'the COVID effect' on my body - MISERABLE DELUXE

My HRV measurements going down... as result from lack of training during my family's move from the city to country side

Training has its effects: my average HRV is trending upwards again!
