A year of Training with Trainerroad

Training
1

So, I’ve been using Trainerroad for little over two years and my experience with cycling is just some months longer.

I’m 44 years old and weight around 78kg (75kg a year ago), have a full time job and three kids and been training the last year for about 7 hours a week, there 1 hour was strength training.

A year ago I did a test week. Started at max 5 min, next day max 20 min, then max 1 min and, after a day off a 2x10-15 seconds sprints.
Last year every interval was a big step forward in power with all records, so then I now set my self up for the same test week this year I was hoping for even higher watts.

So, this is what my year of training come down to:

20 min
2025: 257w
2026: 277w (+7,7%)

5min
2025: 331w
2026: 361w (+8,4%)

1min
2025: 515w
2026: 565w (+9,7%)

10s
2025: 887w
2026: 1037w (16,9%)

5s
2025: 983w
2026: 1127w (+14,6%)

PMax
2025: 1005w
2026: 1157w (+15,1%)

I know, this is braging but I’m so glad that Trainload helped me to get there I am today.

Awesome work! :+1::+1:

I like this idea of being less focused on FTP, and more focused on setting power records along the curve.
