FTP test done...263W...and a quick glance at the numbers for my favourite workout, Downward Spiral, shows me that yes, it will be brutal. Don't know whether to start with one of the base plans first, or just pick and choose. I don't have any particular goals at the moment except fun, pain, and increased fitness, although long term I will be aiming for track league next winter (too busy with family stuff this winter!).
The first sufferfest vid I did on trainerroad was brutal. I realised the mind games I'd been playing on myself with RPE, but actually having to hit the numbers is brutal.
Have fun ;-)
