Not racing, hopefully doing a 60mile club ride, weather permitting. I need to clear my head after a really bad day, attended a funeral for a friend's sons (6 years old) and had to have my dog put to sleep (16 years old).

Sorry to hear that on both counts. Take care, it never goes way but you do remeber the happy / funny times with great fondness

At least your ride went better than mine, legs were killing me after 1 1/2 miles up the alp so bailed so im resting for a day or two.

When I was looking thru the rides I saw you were doing the fire and ice ride - I thought ey up ! He’s having a sneak assault ! - do you think it was doing the ride the night before or was you going guns firing ?

 

[theboxers]

Well that's week one of FTP builder done. I coughed about halfway through the 4th session and then nearly . Not sure why but may have tried to ride too soon after eating, I left it 90 minutes

Day off tomorrow and then a step test Sunday

To get the best result from the ftp test is wait 2 or 3 days rest. Then all subsequent workouts will test and build you up

Very sorry to hear that. 16 is a very long life but it's still painful. The friend's son's tragedy is beyond any consoling comment.

@CXRAndy I'm not doing an FTP test. I'm doing the hptek/GPLama step test to just get a guide as to where I am. Zwift have assigned me a 215w FTP from some free rides I did, 1 of which was the Epic KOM. I'm still being put to the sword with that jump. In the space of 3 or 4 days I went from 166 to 193 to 215
