I know we are all mostly focused on FTP and w/kg as a measurement of how we are doing in our training.
I am interested to hear how else you measure your fitness/improvements especially outside race season etc. I know it can be straight forward in a 10 TT to see you are doing better if you can beat your PB on the same course/same conditions or perhaps in a race.
In the off-season when so much of our training is done indoors/outdoors working towards the future, I sometimes think I’m going no where and don’t feel like I’m improving despite being consistent and following the plan.
How do you clarify if you are infact improving or not (outside the various Ramp/Fitness tests).???
