FTP and Annual training hours: Share your numbers

Got injured back in March, which I am still recovering from, hence a huge drop in training hours.

30 yrs, ~82kg
2017: 515 hours - went from 3.8W/kg to 4,3W/kg (370W/20 min test)
2018: 500 hours - from 4.4 W/kg back in Janurary, to 4.5W/kg (in my first TR ramp test)

Have not been monitoring my FTP very closely these past two seasons, with on test prior and one test post season (road racing in Denmark).

Aiming for an even 5W/kg @ 80kg/400W :smile:

I read somewhere that Annika Langvad did something like 880 hours in 2017 … that is pretty impressive! Well, she is a pro after all!
:grin:

265 hours on the bike, 500 hours across S/B/R.
255w @ 3.95w/kg. Just about to re-test and hoping to go above 4w/kg.
Want to be closer to 4.3w/kg by race season in mid 2019.

Um, ready for some silly questions? How do you know your “training” time? Is this total bike time or just on TR or including outdoors? :flushed:

129h total hours in the saddle so far this year (trainer, racing & outdoor rides). I hit 3.95W/kg back in April (end of my race season), currently sitting at 3.64W/kg. I’m usually around 88kg and 35y.o.

In 6 years of racing, this has been the most training I’ve done.

If you’re using Garmin Connect you can go to “Reports” → “Progress Summary” then filter by sport. This gives number of activities, total distance, total training time etc…

I have just decided to start working to annual hours rather than mileage in 2019
Target will be 300 which I will hit in 2018 and 2017 was about 280

Age 61 w/k 2.9 as I have just dropped my FTP down 15 watts to 235. Normally on 3.0 w/kg

From Strava I should hit 560 hours riding. I’m not sure all of them could be described as training though.
I’m 62 with an FTP of 258W and a Watts/kg of 2.97 W/kg. I could do with loosing about 7/8 kgs though.

300 hours this year. (Mix of TR, Sufferfest, Zwift and Outdoors) I rarely just ride along. I’m almost always in “Training ride” mode.
4.2 W/Kg
47 years old

Goal for 2019 is 4.5W/Kg - i’d have done it this year if it wasn’t for that pesky car that hit me…

If you are doing that much riding you must fuel well in between rides to still need to lose 7 kg :slight_smile:

I’ll crack 400 hours, with about 75 being commute hours.

Topped out at 4.5 at 75kg. Down to 71kg to start Base and starting the season at 4.37.

I’ll probably shoot for 450 in 2019.
