    You’re right, for that duration it’s an aerobic thing so you can’t outrun your breath. Do you remember what speed your comfortable gear got you? That’s another thing I want to figure out. Is my comfortable speed, 4mph? 6? Maybe I can sustain 8, for a little while and drop back down to 5 to catch my breath, etc…

    Looking at the segments, it was 5.5-6mph for the sustained grades of 7-8%, and around 4mph when the grade would kick up to 10-12%.
