Would be nice to how much your FTP improved with what training plan.

This was bugging me and therefore checked both tests. I was comparing the one that settled the FTP that was applied to this test but on that previous test the FTP before doing it was lower so that explains how in the same step on this test I had more watts to endure.

I now that but at the time I thought both had the same FTP but has I’ve said before they didn’t lol. I think this gain will kill me next build phase… Part of the gain was pure mental perseverance. That last minute was almost made without any oxigen in my body although legs could keep a little bit l…

Did my ramp test last night, to kick off Sweet Spot High Volume 2, and to my surprise, I bested my all time FTP by two watts (ftp is now set at 369) going into sweet spot high volume 1, I ramp tested at 337, which was about right coming off a peak and a “rest period” of about 10 days after my A eve…

The road back… Early 2018 I tested in the high 200’s and following a SSB MV I eventually got to 330 by April/ May. Since early 2019 I’ve not undertaken any structured training and done very little riding at all, various reasons with health/ work/ relocation etc. I’ve now signed up to ride Flander…

I’ve gone through two rounds of slightly modified SSB I & II since June. All mid-volume as a foundation but I’ll typically tack on an extra 30 minutes onto the end of all workouts so I’m basically sitting at two workouts of 2 hours (Sat/Sun) and 3 - 4 workouts of 1:30 during the week. Prior Season …

Excited to see where this will bring me! After this build phase i’m starting Tri plans again. For now i went down to LV for build since i’m gonna be adding some swimming to my cycling + strength training, let’s see how that goes! [image]

It’s been a while since my initial comment on this thread. At that time it was my pre-2019 season and I had just crashed. My peak FTP for 2018 was 280W after starting at 245W. I started my 2019 training with a ramp test result of 282W. Completed SSB MV1 and tested to 287W, +5W Completed SSB MV2 a…

Ramp test tonight after finishing the first 3 weeks of sustained power build. Went from 300w to 309W and 4.08w/kg, which was about what I thought I would do. That’s a new high for me and I’m in my early 50’s, so it’s nice to see there is still some fitness to squeeze out of the engine. My goal is…
