2008 Ftp?

not saying that number is inaccurate...well, maybe am, but what power meter was he using? if it was an srm and he didn't reset his zero offset w/ it being that cold....i dunno...that's a nice number regardless!

it's a damn nice number. i would be surpised if more than a handful of amateur riders can hit 5.1 w/kg over that distance.

I'll wager many a pro would struggle too.

Markster? Calibrated SRM Pro and I doubt very, very much if he forgot to ZO it :-) IOW, FTP was not based simply on a single result.

that's cool...an amazing number for sure...wish i was over 5w/kg!!!

is the FTP close to Lactate treshold- (i did labtest therefore i know wattage for my LT)? As from what i understand reading this article the FTP testing method is more or less "under improvisation"? I am waiting for Polar power unit i bought to track my training " progres"- wanted to perform the FTP test as soon as i recive the power unit. Could someone place the link to tread for FTP "correcr" testing method.

You might want to search this forum - there's plenty of good data here.

Subject: Seven deadly sins.

...er, ways of determining your functional threshold power (roughly in
order of increasing certainty):

1) from inspection of a ride file.
2) from power distribution profile from multiple rides.
3) from blood lactate measurements (better or worse, depending on how it
is done).
4) based on normalized power from a hard ~1 h race.
5) using critical power testing and analysis.
6) from the power that you can routinely generate during long intervals
done in training.
7) from the average power during a ~1 h TT (the best predictor of
performance is performance itself).
Note the key words "hard", "routinely", and "average" in methods 4, 6,
and 7...

Looks like I need to do some work. Too many forums, too many pies and too much coaching. I do have a pretty high anaerobic capacity which is good for my 3000m pursuit event. But get sick often. Do using PCs cure that?

good luck on the rebound trail! PC's cure just about everything - they were invented by an M.D. after all 😄

If I had to accelerate a gut the size of a blue whale to neigh on 30mph I'd have a pretty high anaerobic capacity too. :p

No, but PC's will give you a healthy dose of pain that will remind you for days to lay off the pies and beer. Initially they almost make sitting in your average computer chair a none-to-pleasant prospect too, so that'll solve the forums "problem" for a short while.... 😉

Ironically, I actually haven't been sick or suffered from back or ITB pain since buying my PC's..... The former is probably just luck, the latter was what I was hoping to get from the PC's. I got what I paid for... and then some. YMMV.

When I was 100kg I decided with a couple of weeks of "training" (I washed the bike twice and rode up a local hill of about 150ft in height after 10 years off the bike) to scrounge a ticket for the Deathride - 129miles, 16,000ft of climbing over 5 mountain passes that peak at ~8,500ft. I decided that in order to avoid having to carry a flashing yellow light on my helmet and a red flag outa my ass (wide and long load) I'd stay on the trainer for a while and then do an event on closed roads. 😄

79Kg is a much happier place to be - but given that my "cycling brain" still thinks that I'm 65Kg there's some "acceptance issues" that will never seemingly be resolved...... LOL

Well at least if anyone in this thread was silly enough to own PCs they would have the best tool to measure any regression. If I wanted to break my legs in training I would head to the gym. Not going to make me a better rider though.

But by your very own "reasoning" in previous threads, PC's don't offer any improvements, so why have something to measure nothing?

Can we please keep that discussion away from this thread.
Thanks

True dat. I have edited my last post accordingly. If I ever get over my latest cold I am going to do my utmost to raise myself from the bottom of the list!
