I too have invites if anyone needs one.
Before Covid, due to two weeks of partying over Christmas that involved a wedding in Ireland, all the shitty weather, Cheltenham festival and a couple of colds, I done got way out of shape and started getting fat again.
I started the mid-volume Sweet Spot Base plan this week. Surprisingly my FTP was 3 watts higher than the last time I tested it in Jan. Only ever done a low volume plan before, although that was supplemented by about 8 hours a week outside tempo/threshold. If I can finish this plan and then finish a subsequent mid-volume 'build' plan, I should still be back to my previous best by June.
I initially wasn't going to go out riding at all, but I've been inside for nearly a week now and can't handle much more of it, so will be adding one or two hours a week on the road. Hopefully Victoria Park reopens so I can just got there and do laps.
Thanks for reading my cool story, bro.
