• I have improved!

    My W/kg for FTP (based on 95% of 20 min peak) has gone up from 1.74 to 1.91 and so I have gone from below even "untrained" to "untrained"!

    W/kg for 5 min effort is at the untrained level too, with 5s and 1m still below untrained.

    Saving grace is that I'm fat (which really hurts W/kg) and these are just peak measurements from 50km rides of Richmond Park (on fixed) and not a specific targeting testing protocol.

    But improvements like this is useful to keep me motivated.

    I'll take the geared bike out next week which should help me improve on them too.

    Well from just glancing at 95% on a few of my own power curves of longer rides vs testing, your actual FTP could be about about double what you currently think it is :)

    Keep it up anyway
