  • well I mentioned my ftp remained the same - perhaps I should do another however as it is a couple of months out of date.

  • Sorry what I meant was, the ride you didn't doesn't really show 'fitness' as using HR to compare stuff like that is not going to really show anything

    My threshold is lower now than it was 3 months ago. It's hard to keep fitness all the time unless you just ride all the time then you'll stagnate.

    You didn't really say what you're doing so it's not possible to say what you're doing wrong or what you could improve. What's your goal?

  • I guess what I am getting at is that it is hard to quantify fitness improvement- however would you expect these sort of results? they seem very marginal to me. Im talking just general improvements, to be in general a better club rider.

    for reference, hours trained:

    JAN - 11
    FEB - 9
    MAR - 17
    APR - 32
    MAY - 31
    JUN - 31
    JUL - 30
    AUG - 25

    chart shows power curve for May and last 6 weeks. Is it possible that I peaked by May and the rest has just been stagnating at the same level due to not increasing training?

    last 6 weeks in pale purple (sorry about data spike)
