It had been a while since I gave Alpe de Zwift a good run and PR’ed it yesterday by about 2.5min. Unfortunately I must have had connectivity issues at the time I crossed the banner because I don’t see the segment time in ZwiftPower for the event. I guess I’ll have to give it another go sometime…
Solid ride that 
Right? And its the long durations I tend to care about a bit more. At least I know what to look for now, need to fix some of my other long durations. This is my only Peak Performance report at the moment that will catch the problem:
I was literally losing my mind trying to figure out why it didn’t show up and then I started knocking down the duration until I found the exact timestamp.
My formula for ‘3 hours’ uses 10,600 seconds (2:56:40):
@Duration := (meanmax(power,10600)), sortd(greatest(if(@Duration,@Duration,na),15))
Today I’ve read over 500 forum posts and hardly learned anything new. That’s got to be a PR!

very impressive!
Hit an all time FTP and a bunch of 3-5 minute power records today!
We have been having a great winter so I’ve been trying to manage riding outside several times a week while still riding the trainer a few times and weight lifting twice a week. Since I’ve been able to ride the mtb so much lately, my technical skills are at an all time high and I was able to snag some super D style downhill KOMs in December.
This will be my fourth season on TR, I saw huge gains the first year on LV with periodized weight lifting twice a week. I, like a lot of users, fell into the trap of thinking that more is better and have been chasing a mid volume plan every year after my first year. I could probably handle a mid volume plan if I wasn’t committed to lifting twice a week or doing any skiing or outside rides when the weather is nice.
I think I have finally figured out what works best for me and my mountain biking goals is less bike training stress so that I can follow a periodized weight training program in parallel, I use MTB strong by Enduro training, and still do the occasional ski or ride when I can.
I’m glad I am finally finding a balance that allows me to progress!

Hit me a couple of accidental PR’s today on a “social” Zwift ride during my recovery week… 
Hoping to reinforce/ validate in my Ramp Test next week.

Got PRs from 55s to 72s today. About the only positive from one failed VO2max workout and one (Baxter-2) that was just hard work.

Don’t you hate it when you go for a 20min test, but you’re climb no longer lasts 20mins…Think i’ll just take that as my 20min number given as i know i could have held it.

It’s a great problem but also a really annoying problem!
Especially if you had a perfect loop for intervals and now it’s the wrong time length.

Those consistent, week in-week out, Z2 rides are paying off!
All time sprint power PR from 10 to 18 sec, been working on my sprint, getting some podiums in the local club crits over the last month, so happy to see the numbers improving 
Just need to hit these numbers after the final 2-3 hard laps of a crit, and position myself better. I missed 1st by about 3/4 of a bike length on Friday night due to poor positioning in the last corner

yup. On the plus side, my 2021 15" record is more than 50% of my all time estimated FTP…
I need some box jumps and back squats…

And 1 min PR on the trainer. Looking at some outdoor rides i should be able to hit more. But pdc maintenance is not doing itself. On the screen you can also be astounded by my incredible sprint power

Rode one of the Zwift cat and mouse style events today (which I honestly enjoy since it’s less of a race and more of a team time trial until the very end).
Race ended around 53 minutes in and I was running good so I had to ride the extra 7 minutes so I could snag a new 60 minute PR.
10 watts up from last year around the same time so I’m pretty stoked about that.

All time power PRs from 10 to 30 minutes today. And it was a major effort.
This is after having eight weeks impacted training from a broken shoulder, and ramp test results telling me I’m down 10 watts.
Alternating Single parenting means I’m always overloading and then recovering, and after a long weekend of riding, I’m in the red big time. Time to have a bath, and recharge.

I really wanted to tick this off, 5 min was to fall off from the PDC in wko and for me it is definitely the most unpleasant test:) Happy with the improvement, and that also means that I have to consider if another vo2 max block is needed.
