Looking at some stats from earlier in the year, found a similar ride to what I did today.
23/04/15
Watts: 189
Avg HR: 163
05/09/15
Watts: 192
Avg HR: 164
now I know comparing avg hr doenst tell the whole story however - would you not expect to see slightly better results over an entire summer? I.e I should have been able to produce 192W today for less effort/ hr. I was also slightly less fatigued today vs the ride in Apr.
Although I havnt tested my FTP in a couple of months last time I did it seems to be only a few watts greater than what it was in May.
Before Apr I was doing around 200 miles/month. Apr was the first month I did 500 and since I have done 500 to 550 every month since.

Any ideas what I am doing hopelessly wrong?
