Hey Guys
I am coming back to cycling after a 2 year break - mostly due to work and knee operation after skiing. I suspect my FTP is very very embarrasingly low. However, I am buying a Tacx Bushido (indoor trainer with power measurement).
I will also get PT or quarq for measuring power on the road.
So my question is really once I get the basic tests done, what is the best way to train with power to build a foundation. I would like to build the power and endurance to ride Mountain Passes in the Alps (since I live in Switzerland) any to ride in Olympic distance Triathlons.
Secondly, starting off from zero (lets assume it is that bad), what timeline do I need to give myself to reach my goals? Assume I can I train 3 days a week for 6-8 hours a week?
Thanks,
