Before cycling: competing in Power Lifting in the 90kg class.
- February 2019: started road cycling
- Also February 2019: becoming completely obsessed with it, starting to drop weight and training daily.
- Late March 2019 first FTP test: 259 for 20min at 81kg bw.
- May 2019: 306W for 20 min at 78kg
- Until October: riding outdoors, building endurance and having fun.
- October 2019: 314W for 20 min at 74kg
- Also October 2019, beginning of a 8 to 11hr per week block perioidization Plan, focusing on TT performance by progressive overload.
- December 2019: 326W for 20 min at 73kg
- Entire January: illness with high fever.
- February 2020: 312W for 20 min at 69kg (losses through illness)
- May 2020: 338W for 20 min at 70kg
- July 2020: 352W for 20 min at 329W for 1hr at 70kg.
- October 2020: 372W for 20 min at 71kg.
Very happy with how things are going.
PS. Writing best 20 minutes instead of “FTP” because I cannot do 95% of this power for 1hr. Maybe 92% or so.
