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

Had a first rough week on SSB2-MV with the new FTP @252W . I think I need some help to get through this one. Couldn’t finish Geiger +2 and Kaweah . I was cooked by the 3rd interval on both workouts. On Friday I did Ebbetts at 90% and it felt good to be able to finish the workout. Maybe I did somet…

The more I read here the more it sounds like 3.75 - 4w/Kg is average. I’ve totally quit riding outside now that CX season is over and will try to only ride the trainer from now until September, trying to get above 4w/Kg so I can be competitive as a cat-4. These numbers you guys share are bonkers.

Your tests look perfect. The only thing I have to add is the the vortex smart requires you are perfect with setup every single time. When I had a vortex I would always use the spin down calibration to set the tension at the bottom of the green area in the tacx utility. Anywhere else led to failed w…

Last winter was my first experience with Trainroad or any structured training program. In about 6 months I went from an ftp of 149 to 193. But perhaps even more significant than the increase in power was my increase in muscular endurance. This really manifested in my run splits (I’m a triathlete)…

You have to drop a lot of kg to go from 3.6 to 4.3 with only 20W more… if your power go up and your weight goes down then it’s very good

10/31/18 was my first TR ramp test at 227ftp. I have completed 12 TR workouts and attempted one other, including a second ramp test today at 243ftp. That’s a 7% increase. I’ve also tried two other apps in that span of time and neither works for me as well as TR. The best part about all of this is t…

It’s demoralizing reading about everyone’s progress. Since September 2017, I’ve only increased from 221 ftp to 248 (3.8w/kg) recently in November doing exclusively mid volume programs in the order they’re prescribed. I’ve tested 11 times since September 2017 and my biggest increase during that timef…

You need to switch up your stimulus, imo. This is a shot in the dark but give Short Power Build a try.

Lol, that’s not the average. Maybe the average of those In this thread post stating their watt/kg.
