2009 Ftp - Page 4

excellent!!! +7W

I decided to listen to my body (and flu buggies) and take the evening off ... but tomorrow I'm boldly targetting 410W x 40-min (or maybe not )

only a small power up but nevertheless... and as it's coupled with some weight loss (albeit this due to having been sick beginning of week ) I thought I post my new figures.
Tonight will be my first formal test (for the full hour ) will see what this reveals

I know it's uncool to reply on your own post but still: 1 hour test yesterday on my indoor trainer (up the Stelvio on my Tacx DVD) proved my new FTP. And as I climbed 1 up in the list I needed to do this!
The reason to post 295W instead of the 294W according to the attached file (to not become a Tyson ) is that I know I could have done that bit more as I wasn't completely worn at the end and due to the fact that I wasn't really that rested (did some weights in the gym the day before) and as I only notch it up/down in 5W steps .

[QUOTE=Crash716]From 2x20s a couple weekends ago.

hey all.. im new but just wanted to chime in and say this is a great thread. Good way to keep yourself motivated by watching others FTP climb!

Aye good stuff folks. Progress is contagious (at least I hope it is ). Speaking of contagious (!!) ... got hit with a nasty bug here over two weeks ago and have been struggling a bit since then. Still managed to get in around seven hrs/wk on the CT - mostly tempo at best - but hey it could be worse. Yin and yang and all that deep philosophical stuff ... been sick but the legs feel as fresh as daisies -- just need the aerobic system to drive 'em now

I think dkrenik's maths are bad.

I've just got over the same thing twice... After the first two weeks I felt better, stayed off the bike an extra week partly to be safe and partly because of other things that cropped up and the morning after the first easy ride I was back to hacking up green pudding and had a slight fever again... That was about 2 1/2 weeks ago or there abouts.

I'll have to check my training log but I'm wondering if I've actually ridden for more than 10 hours this year...

Same power, lower body mass.
Recent racing supports current FTP estimate (~30-min points race NP of 289W). Did also have a ~40-min TT at ~ 265W however mechanical problems with leg caused a drop in power over 2nd half of TT. Also intervals on ergo bike support this FTP level.
