• 6w/kg for 3 mins is great. Don't have any training tips I'm afraid, I just use Trainer Road, though might try Clinterval closer to race season. Used to do Swains reps years ago, structure on the turbo is much more effective for me.

    I bet loads of strong TTers that normally poo-poo HCs are gonna smash hills this season.

  • Ok well thats reassuring at least I won't make a total fool of myself.
    Yeah I agree I seem to respond quite well to turbo training.
    I'd imagine so. Best place to find a list of events?

  • https://cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/find-events

    In the Type or Distance dropdown on the left choose Hill Climb

  • For reference I can do 450ish for 5 at 74kg. And I have a threshold around 350ish.

    You should be able to be a LOT faster with training.

    If your value of 450 is correct. To have a threshold as low at 260 you must do very little cycling. I basically got on a bike and had a threshold around that. And a little training took it north of 300 quickly.

    Oh. Sod Vo2 work now. Just ride as much as you can now. And loose as much weight as you can without sacrificing much power. Or just be chill and have fun... and beer.
