FTP is 350 ish.
Considering races don't start til march there is very little need for any intensity right now. Most of my teammates are doing longer rides on the little ring 2/3 times a week.
Due to work I am starting to work out in the evenings on the KK. Sanity demands that I can only realistically do 90 - 120 mins on the trainer in one session, so there is no way I'm doing only L2 work.
I want to at least feel some "burn" on the trainer, but on the other hand I don't want to go to intense, and move out of BASE.
For indoor workouts in November / December what % of FTP is sensible? I'm interested right now in raising the level at which I can "comfortably cycle" - I don't want to start honing FTP or VO2 max yet at all.
Was thinking around 250w (70% of FTP) at a high RPM - is this too high?
It's sort of a balance between effectiveness and boredom ;-)
feedback appreciated - next year will be my first year in the elites. I don't want to undertrain, but I don't want to burn all my candles by january either....
