Pedaling while standing is the end boss... my training diary entry from May 8 2026

_{(Here is another photo from my hike to the Kehlstein. It shows the tunnel leading to the elevator, which takes you up to the Kehlsteinhaus. Usually, quite a few people are queuing here; however, since the Kehlsteinhaus hadn't opened yet, it was completely deserted, and I was able to snap this shot.)}

Hi Actifitters,

yesterday, I actually intended to treat myself to a less strenuous indoor cycling session. However, when selecting my workout, I focused primarily on the required wattage rather than on the specific details of the session itself. I soon found out exactly what that entailed once the workout began: I was required to pedal while standing—maintaining my rhythm throughout—during short intervals that started at 20 seconds, later increasing to 30, 45, and finally 60 seconds.

I can't believe how hard it is to pedal while standing up when you're not used to it. I barely made it through any of the blocks to the end without sitting back down on the saddle prematurely.

Now I know—among other things—what I still need to work on a great deal. I’m curious to see if it goes better next time.

As soon as this post is published, I’ll be hopping right back in the saddle. Garmin is suggesting a two-hour workout to improve my base endurance, so I’ll likely follow that recommendation. Since I’m heading to a birthday party later—complete with plenty of cake and barbecue—it certainly won’t hurt to burn off a few calories beforehand.
