Hey All,
I'm new to training with power (or training with an actual plan to be honest!) and am working on setting some goals for this time next year. I'm just wondering if my goals are within reach or if I'm dreaming and should aim for something more attainable.
Goal:
Age: 21
Weight - 165 lbs
FTP - 300 W
Power/Weight - 4.01 W/Kg
Current:
Age: 20
Weight - 180 lbs
FTP - 253 W
Power/Weight - 3.06 W/Kg
So as far as power gains go, I would like to increase my power by 18.5% in 12 months, but with the weight loss, I would like to increase my power to weight ratio by almost 25%! Is this attainable in one year, or should I lower my power goal (I know I can lose the weight. I've got some to spare!)
Thanks!
Andrew
