Have to ease up a bit and add more recovery time in between hard rides.

I did ftp test today again!!! Haha

Two weeks ago my ftp was 236.7&3.88w/kg

Today my ftp is 240.3&3.93w/kg!!! Ye!!! Getting better!!

 

There is different "ways" of training, training to improve threshold isn't always the "right" way.

 

Kudos for the increase, watts doesn't come free and the hard work pays off. :thumbup:

Yip, we all know, that limit just before overtraining....to push it always just that little bit. Ice and rest for a day or two. then easy over the weekend my friend.

Some useful data:

By using Dr. Ferrari’s formula:

 

 

Froome 5.96 W/kg on 5 major climbs in 2013 Tour.

Nibali 5.99 W/kg on 5 major climbs in 2014 Tour.

Average duration of 5 climbs: 35 min (both 2013 and 2014)

 

******* hell

For interest sake: I can only manage somewhere between 7 and 9hrs for most weeks. I then sit with TSS between 350 and 500. Is this ok for the amount of time I can spend on the bike?

In short yes. But depends on what you want to achieve and where you are in your training.

ie. 7hrs at 100% will theoretically give you a tss of 700.
