2008 Ftp?

Steve_B

No where to go but up.

James, it wasn't that long ago that my FTP was 140 Watts. After achieving said figure the great RapDaddyo said, awesome!

I've improved a little since then - just takes a bit of hard work and good Levis! Tyson

Just made it to the elusive 4W/kg club and thought I post it. My goal after reading through the first 30 odd pages of the "It' killing me, but..." thread is to catch up with Tyson (and I'm only 40!).
Will shave off 1 kg and get to 310W in August! That's my goal, we'll see.

My monthly update. Increased FTP by 7 watt and decreased my weight by 1.5kg, now it's 292 @ 69kg. 1 kg to go for the magic 150 lbs barriere and 8 watt to go for the magic 300 watt barriere.

I hope every body can also post also a 5min power between brackets. Mine is 370 watts.

Went from 285W late last year to 351W tested yesterday.

Simone@Italy

you are a beginner and you have 4,44 W/Kg?! ... when I leave office, I go sell my bike.

PaulMD

How can you call yourself a beginner? In 2006 you wanted to move to Girona (Spain), Les issambres (france- close to Nice) or Firenze (Italy) to focus 100% at cycling. That's sounds more like Pro or a beginning Pro than a real beginner.

I'm racing in the class beginner.
It goes Beginner - C - B - A.
Yeah in 2006 I wanted to move to move to one of those countries. Which was a bit unrealistic when i think about it.
I've only done 2 races so far, and I suck at race tactics. Both times I've been caught by the pack very close to the finish :/

Sillyoldtwit

LOL Bigwillie. Actually, I don't think age has that much to do with it. First you need a good set of genes, without which no matter how hard you train someone a lot older than you always will ride circles around you. Having said that, as you obviously saw in the 'Killing me' thread you need structured training, dedication and an overiding desire to ride faster. So many times in these forums, one sees comments like - "I hate riding indoors." Well, so be it, but you have to put in excruciatingly hard work, be it indoors or out on the road. I often think, why am I doing this? I could be sitting in Starbucks with a coffee and my newspaper or playing Japanese croquet in the park with all the other people my age. Then I cast the devil aside and get on with what I've got to do.
Anyway best of luck in your desire to catch me. My target FTP for the 12th August (birthday) is 330 - 340watts @ 70Kg or hopefully less. See you there???

Tyson

well, after a month of training I can say that I've managed to improve my FTP of 0 (zero) Watts . I suppose that "it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n'roll", but this makes me thing I'm not well suited for endurance events.. maybe I should concentrate on sprints?

Updated. Still interested in hearing back from some of those high on the list with regard to race results; specifically time trials. Personally, my results here in the Vancouver area have been sporadic; very good results on the track (several wins before my crash in January - broken hand, mild concussion - off the bike for 4 weeks); no wins but good, top 5 efforts on the road - flat crits are my strength. Poor aerodynamics and tt position held me back to a 29m28s time trial on a 20.6k flat course in early April.

I haven't done a time-trial in recent history though I planned on it this year. My best 40K (Utah State TT in 1994) was 58.22. I did that on 22 lbs 7-speed steel road bike w/Scott clip-ons and Uni-disc covers, and I got stung by a bee with 5 miles to go . I feel like I'm faster now. In fact, I won an early season training crit (flat) this year, but then crashed in April. The state TT is this weekend, but because my wrist is still in a cast it's a no go. FYI, my FTP is based on a 1 hr indoor test.
