Wahoo HRM (which will do bluetooth direct to my phone) purchased so all set now. Starting the Back to Fitness plan this week, will do the two sessions on Wed/Fri after a swim which should complement the existing Monday spinning class.
Ramp test gave me a 217W FTP estimate, which at 94kg has me a long way off my eventual goal of 3.7W/kg (~280W FTP at 75kg). Many years ago I got to ~240W at 75kg with no specific training other than lots of Audaxing but life and lager has taken its toll on the body since then.
Might do the ramp test monthly to keep an eye on things.
I'm sure I could get there quicker if I dedicated more time to it but my training is predominantly swimming and running right now and those leave me feeling tired enough.
