First off congratulations on your progress so far! 200W in two years is a big gain, and it’s as reasonable a point to set a goal as anything.
A few concerns:
- You’re seeking 40 more W in two months. My guess here is that “noob gains” are about tapped out for you and you’re going to need to change up your stimulus at some point to break a plateau.
- This is a really big load change in a short period of time. I would advise training for a while at this 295 number and seeing how it goes before I set my heart on 335. 295 as it is is a more than 10% gain in just a couple of months, and you’re seeking a 10+% gain in another two months. With jumps that big, burnout can happen pretty quickly. Often people will be able to manage those jumps for a couple of weeks before they really hit a wall.
- With the above in mind, you need to be less focused on that number and be willing to dial things back if it becomes evident you’ve bitten off more than you can chew.
Have you done any sustained riding at 295 to determine if that number is “real”? E.g. can you sustain it for 2x20 or 3x15 without absolutely crushing yourself? When I see huge jumps in FTP like this, I become concerned about the methods we’re using to determine them and the subsequent peril of training to numbers that just aren’t realistic. (Full disclosure: I am firmly against ramp tests as an FTP determinant, and AIFTPD seems better, but it just depends on what types of efforts you’ve done to get that number).
Not really sure where you’re getting this from?
