This was my first year back consistently training in a few years. I fould that I was able to get my FTP to ~93% of my prior FTP. What happened is that I'd achieve these wattages with a high (95+ rpms) cadence. This was fine on the trainer/rollers (and for my ego!), but in cross races, I found myself getting blown out by having to push gears through muddy sections or grinding hills.
Anyone insights as to how I should train my ability to produce the same watts at lower cadences?
Thanks!
