Well, I just tested 1 hr indoors yesterday. The result was roughly the same as last September. Considering that I haven't done any VO2max, mostly grinding away at L3/L4 indoors, I'm very encouraged. So for the purposes of setting training zones I'll set my FTP @ 270 W. Except that I gained a kg.

Looks like I got censored, so here we go again.

Edit: I just noticed that KP lost some power in the off-season, so here we go again again.

[swampy1970]

Swampy, where you at on the board brothaman?!

Not too sure to be honest. I've been feeling like someone had worked me over with a meat tenderizer/baseball bat until recently and will wait till March 1 or there abouts to actually test... but, the last two 20 minutes of my 3x25's have been ridden at or very near to the power I was at during my best Monad test, same for the last 5 minutes too and without the motivation or rest. A few pounds less though...

Unofficially, using the power derived that the above mentioned M(g)onad test and current weight:

305W... 82.6Kg...3.69 W/kg

It's creeping up there as I've been losing about 1lb per week. Christmas/New Years got in the way a little bit though.

I'll pop something up there with everyone else in about 6 weeks when I actually do test.

One thing to note is that this is in a position that was radically changed in the past two weeks, so I'm not sure if I've adjusted too it or not yet. The saddle's been moved back ~2 inches (or ~5cm and moved from my old 76 degree timetrial/crit bike to a regular road frame) and the bars moved down a bit too following the new found flexibility thanks to a wonderful Sports/Massage Therapist at Psoasbodyworks in San Francisco (shameless plug). Speaking of which, I'll be going downtown tonight to pay them a visit I think I've been spending as much time stretching these past two weeks as I have been riding.

 

[dthompson]

I just sustained about 302 watts steady state on a Schwinn stationary bike with a magnetic drive for about an hour. This would mean that my FTP would be at least 302? Right? Does the Schwinn bike I'm using calculate watts reliably enought to be comparable to the others posting here?

Hey Markster its been a long time. Is your training still centred around 90 min sweet spot efforts with Vo2 max intervals?

282 watt average for 60 minutes on the computrainer, down 10 watts from last seasons peak in November. I'm happy with the result given that I've been doing very little L4 work. Still 2 kg over race weight.
