After following this thread for sometime now, I have a question concerning w/kg improvement(FT). I would like to be able to set a realistic goal for improvement this season. Being new to power, I'm not sure what a reasonable exectation (goal) should be.
Age: 40
Weight: 81kg (Last racing weight was 73kg. I should be able to achieve this in a couple of months. I have one of those bodies that flucuates rapidly depending on activity level)
FT: 230
w/kg: 2.84
Experience: Trained and raced off/on for about five years (i.e. no coach or set program) During that time I put in 4,000 to 5,000 miles per year.
Current: Started riding again in August after five years off the bike. I currently have a coach and a workout program. On this program I am putting in 35 to 40 hrs of training per month.
If I continue with a consistent training program (35-40 hrs per month) What is a reasonable expectation for improvement (w/kg) for this season?
