  • 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?

  • Are you actually doing any targeted or specific training- or just going riding and recording your data?

    It's very hard to progress past a certain point by just riding a bike without any particular focus.

  • just riding/recording. If this looks normal ^ then fair enough, I will look to plan some structured training in the winter
