Baxter -1. I’ve been trying resistance mode lately to see if I’m missing any benefits.
The upload to Strava was kind of ridiculous–40 MPH max speed with a 23 MPH average. From looking at another TR post, it may have to do with using the big ring the whole time.
Ramp Test today then Taku. Quiet happy that I only dropped 2 watts on my test after a 3 month holiday from structured training. Was lucky enough to be able to take my bike on the road trip and tag along with local bunch rides scattered with some solo spins.
Running. It’s crispy cold up here, just above freezing at night, no wind - perfect conditions. 3x5min @ tempo. The running equivalent of a sweet-spot interval workout. Felt surprisingly good. Impressive how neuro-muscular memory can just dial and maintain a tempo even when you haven’t done this for months.
That headlight is like a magical weapon against not-quite-woken-up-yet drivers at 5:30 in the dark.
Antelope +5 today. Added 5% to the intervals. All good.
Holy crap your W/Kg! My FTP is 17 W less and I weigh almost 20Kg more.
I hope you race!
I race but rarely anything where I can make the most of my w/kg, mostly crits.
Wanted an endurance ish ride this morning.
2x60min @ 80,85 and 90%.
Easy peasy 
you’re a beast!!!

Were you shifting a lot? Cadence line looks pretty flat. I did this (baxter in slope/resistance mode) a while back, but it took a while to zero in on a gear and resistance % so that there was no shifting. I tried again a week ago and got it right away where I could pedal between 55 and 115rpms and hit all the power targets with no shifting. The rpm graph mimics the power profile pretty strongly. It was kind of fun to do a workout this way.
Last week SSlv2.
Question about this workout. The workout text suggests that the average of the 4 intervals, is your FTP.
Next week is my rest week and i will be starting Sustained Power build after that.
Should i be doing the ramp test in the first week? Because i felt Lamarck was spot on :). Or is/can the rest week bump my fitness to a new level?
Last night I had to make use of the little daylight I had left, so Gendarme +1 was scheduled outside. Since I did the same workout last week, I tried to stay over 500w for each interval (the goal was to stay around 450-470). It went significantly better than the previous workout which was encouraging! Then I had to book it home before sunset, and i was able to do my a bit over FTP for 6 minutes.

I was proud of this bit of work last night. Commuting into work this morning, I was happy that my legs still felt good and weren’t carrying over any soreness from it.
I’m actually not in any current training plan but I have a Sustained Power Build Plan starting at the end of the month. I’ve been riding outside since the spring so I am just starting to incorporate more indoor training now. The longer version of this workout is in that plan and I like to try the workouts before the plan starts to get a feel for some of them. This one was definitely tough and I’m sure the longer version will be tough too.
