Hello every one I’ve just started Trainerroad, and so far I’m loving it. I’m on my last week on SSB1 mid-volume, done mostly on my home trainer but with some outdoor week-ends ride. My FTP at the begining of the plan was 281W. I do not consider myself to be a cyclist, as I’ve always ridden as a me…

It sounds like you are jumping into this at the deep end and going “tell me what I need to know”, I’m sure that some with a similar tale/attitude have done the RAAM, etc. but most have worked their way up from shorter events and dealing with problems (and learning from them) along the way. Not many …

Mark Beaumont has a new podcast out called “Endurance”. I haven’t listened to it much. His style kind of grates with me. However I think it is a series of fairly deep dives/interviews with the people he went to when putting the GCN book together.

No problem, without you laying out your whole history there’s always going to be holes in our understanding. That’s just the way text based conversations are. BMI is one of those simple metrics that gets taken out of context - it’s meant as an index for a sedentary (not-active) population not peopl…

[image] bobw: I’d look at the Low Volume plans, do the workouts as a block on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday then do your long rides at the weekend. Monday and Friday are rest days. Not to pick on the only thing I don’t agree with. You definitely have good points outside of this statement. Do…

Since I’ve started Trainerroad 4 months ago, my FTP went from 281W to 310W, which I guess is not too bad. In the same time I’ve lost about 8kg, so it’s pretty cool even though I still want to lose 7kg in order to get my BMI to 25 (and, incidentally, if my FTP doesn’t move I would also get to 4W/kg). …
