Can anyone explain the Rest/Work metric on the Results page of Zwiftpower?

It is your last 30s compared to your average power; so if below then you are resting and if above you are working.

Ah thanks. So it is a metric to watch in real time, not a summary at the end?

Correct; you can see who is working in your group:-)

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).

Horrendous, all the best man.

Well, that was interesting, just done a step test to recalculate my FTP - it's dropped from 356 to 325 since I last tested in march. Worth bearing in mind that since then I've change from a wheel on basic smart trainer to the Flux, so this is a bit more accurate. Not too disappointed, I was expecting a drop as I haven't really done much "training" for a few months, I've just been ticking over with commuting and a few longer Z2/Z3 rides - none of which really pushes me to ride too hard.

Now I've got a benchmark I can pick up a plan and start again.

I was bit of disappointed my London visit too. Maybe too much training in short period of time. Now i have a feeling that i repeat my London visit and show what kind of alpine ibex i am .
I regret these words later.

well done @Norry1 for 3rd in the Cs! (WBR london)

I went early on the sprint and didn't realise how much the first 2 miles of hills took out of me, rookie move (and the ulster fry probably wasn't great fuel )

Cheers, I enjoyed the race. You were ahead of me until Fox Hill, and then I slowly clawed it back and was a few seconds ahead at the top.

I was in a smallish group at the exit of the underground but let it slip away, waiting for the guy who lost the wheel to make it up. He didn't and so the 2 of us were adrift until the end. I beat him narrowly on the sprint. I saw you and a group closing at the end but luckily our 30 second gap was enough.

Oh that doesn’t sound good. I missed a few of the build me up and started all over. Done the red unicorn again today

I'm starting over today. I couldn't finish the red unicorn because I couldn't spin fast enough and the resistance kept cranking up in a vicious cycle... No pun intended- I've removed the battery from the cadence sensor I was using and will use the cadence from the Pro and will try again.
