  • 5w/kg is properly strong. I was reading somewhere that very aerobically inclined athletes tend to need to add significant volume for further adaptation, also from anecdotal evidence from very fast runner friends.

    20-24h a week of zone 1/zone 2 riding might boost your FTP (just a winter of growing bigger vascular network maybe) but noone has the time for that...

  • Hmm yeah maybe. I’m not doing that, but maybe just more base /sweet spot and save the high intensity stuff for even closer to HC season.

    On running, I managed a 40 min 10k with no interval training, just trying to run harder a few times a week for a couple of months. Not meant to be a boast post, just adding to your data set for internet diagnoses.

  • Yeah, 40 min 10k without training makes be a bit sad inside...

    I’m planning on adding 1h at mid-high zone 2 at 90-95rpm every morning before breakfast, see whether I can build a higher level of fatigue resistance.

  • For the record, I was it not a 40:02 because the Strava app was telling you fibs?
